fully understandable. I would go just mad if I was Chinese today. You can read my post in that thread.

You would have to get mad at the Chinese authorities, though. It’s not like Opera had a choice, what with their office in China risking arrest and all if they didn’t do what the authorities told them to.

I would get mad with both (Opera and the Chinese authorities), but hey that’s an old topic, and who’s not collaborating with the Chinese authorities these days ??? :smiley:

I’m pretty sure Opera would have loved to not have to do what the government told them to, but it’s not like they had a say in the matter… Still, it’s better with a partial Opera in China than no Opera at all. There are some exploits to bypass the firewall in Opera Mini that wouldn’t be there if it was completely blocked.
