I don't care all that much that it's Chinese companies but I do wonder how they're going to get back their $600 million + profit.

If Opera can still keep a > base in Norway and have some control in its direction They sold the browser, so I'd guess no control, involvement, direction, or anything: https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/18/opera-renegotiates-its-1-2b-sale-down-to-600m-for-browser-privacy-apps-chinese-jv/ Opera will sell the Qihoo 360-led consortium its mobile and desktop browser operations, its performance and privacy apps, its tech licensing not including Opera TV; and Opera’s 29 percent stake in Chinese JV nHorizon. Opera’s remaining business that is not part of the sale will include Opera Mediaworks, Opera Apps & Games (including Bemobi) and Opera TV, along with about 560 employees. =================== has anyone looked at vivaldi? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser) thoughts??
