What happens when the Internet is a democracy?
- July 1, 2021
ABC News was given the opportunity to meet the chief operating officer of Opera, the company behind the Opera browser.
We asked John Poulson about how the company is trying to get the public more engaged with Opera.
Poulsson said that Opera’s main goal is to keep the Opera Web browser as popular as possible.
Opera is currently operating in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
We asked him if the company plans to expand its US and Canadian markets in the near future.
Poulsson said there are no plans to do so, but it would be a good idea.
Opera also has an international presence, with Opera Web Browser, Opera Express and Opera Mobile being supported by Google.
Poulosson also noted that Opera is expanding into a number of countries including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, the Philippines, Thailand, India and Brazil.
Opera Web View was first released in September 2016 and can be downloaded for free at Opera.com.
The Opera browser, however, has been controversial for some time.
Critics have raised concerns about the browser’s security, privacy, and features.
There have also been several lawsuits filed against Opera, including one filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which claimed the browser has been used to facilitate the mass surveillance of internet users.
Pulsons comments about the lawsuits and the controversy surrounding the browser are worth reading.
Poulsons response to the controversy is also worth reading in full.
As we’ve noted before, Opera’s primary goal is not to gain users, but to keep users engaged.
We think this is one of the most important things that we can do to help the people who are using Opera, because it’s really about making sure that the user experience is as good as possible, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that users are getting the most from the browser, whether that’s with security or features or privacy.
I think one of Opera’s biggest challenges is that the world of internet use is very different from the world that it used to be.
Internet users now spend more of their time on mobile phones and tablets, and as we see that trend continue, so does the need for a browser that is designed for that new context.
What do you think about Opera’s approach to security?
