Opera "Next" (=Beta of version 15) released

Skybird · 05-28-13, 04:22 PM

Opera has released the beta of their new opera design that bases the browser on that used by Chrome.

I would welcome any feedback by people trying it out, especially on security and privacy aspects.

I fear that a very good and proven browser, current version 12 that scores great both in security and privacy protection, gets destroyed here to enforce access for advertising and profiling to private system.

If my concern gets confirmed in the coming months, I will not use Opera 15, but go back to IE, which - currently, at least - is not as much violating privacy like Chrome does.

I use Opera, but don't feel like using beta products for my mail accounts. Sorry, I'll skip this time. Until it goes stable.
