Now its just a mess and Vivaldi is not much better.
we bring you Opera Reborn, the first browser to allow messengers to reside within your browser, without the need to install any extensions or apps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockmelt
Hey opera folks who might be reading this - work on simplifying offline access to web content. I want to be able to maintain ~100 GB of offline data store, full text searchable. Wikipedia, stackexchange\stackoverflow, khan academy, zealdocs and whole bunch of other sources of useful browser renderable web content provide dumps of their data. And then they end up having to build spl apps and extensions and other garba…
Whilst I don't know many people who would be in your situation I do think that an offline, indexed data store could be very useful. Bookmarks even to this day are dreadfully implemented on all of the major browsers.

After uninstalling it automatically opened up a browser to one of those "Tell us why you uninstalled" pages that you normally see on the desktop, this shouldn't be possible on Android. I think they are doing this by having Opera Browser watch for uninstallation of Opera VPN and possibly vice-versa and when one detects th…
Um, before going down the conspiracy theory road, maybe do a simple google search? This is literally the top result for "android app on uninstall": http://stackoverflow.com/a/18816716/4944625

I'm not an expert in google's android but could it be that the uninstall process ends by firing up a web page ?
Pretty sure Opera is part owned by a Chinese consortium now, and to my knowledge their revenue comes from ads and adtech. So not super certain how private it is likely to be...
