If I ignore your weird racist overtones. Why would you trust Google/Apple/Firefox more?

I don't think it's fair to equate not trusting the Chinese government with racism.

Yeah, I am pretty sur we have no problems with Korean and Japanese companies, but suddenly Chinese is new race aparently.

Opera was bought by Chinese companies, not the Chinese government.

it's pretty much same, if you wanna do business in China, you must give access to all your data to chinese government and do selfcensorship

I gave up using Opera for good once it was acquired by the Chinese.

Why do people say "the Chinese" as if Chinese people are some scary, out of this world concept or they are some kind of James Bond villain.

because some of us lived in China and know how things go there with doing business and government, know how "safe" and "optimized" their apps are?

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14306736 and marked it off-topic.

Edit: "your weird racist overtones" crosses into personal attack, since the commenter was talking about a government. Please don't do that in HN threads.

I'd like to try, but I'd probably not end up using it because it's not open source. I feel silly for rejecting a product based on that, but openness is important to me. Here's for hoping they open source it soon!

My reasoning for not using it is largely the same. Especially when there are plenty of high-quality open source browsers, including two major ones (Chromium and Firefox). I'm not willing to switch to a proprietary browser just because it's a bit shinier.

Did he get a warning for just throwing around the "racist" insult?
