Opera Is About To Be Bought By A Chinese Consortium For About $1.2 Billion by TechPill: 3:04pm On May 28, 2016 |
The popular Opera browser we all know is about to be acquired by a Chinese company. The company share holders voted in favor of the deal. According to Techcrunch, The opera browser will be sold for nothing less than $1.2 Billion but for the deal to be completed they will have to wait for the approval from the authorities in China and Norway. According to Opera CEO Lars Boilesen and CTO Håkon Wium claims the decision isn't from them. Below is his exact words: “I have been working for Opera since ’99, Håkon ’98,” Boilesen said. “He’s No. 8; I’m No. 16. We’ve been with Opera for many years. We got listed on the Stockholm stock exchange in 2004. So basically, the shareholders — they decided to initiate this process. It was kind of their decision. It wasn’t our decision.”Opera Senior staff disclosed that this decision is made by the entire shareholders, from about 90.6 percent of the outstanding share capital and 90.9 percent of the votes in the company have approved the acquisition and this will not stop the company from improving and adding new feature to the Opera mobile and PC version for now.

What ever they do they shouldn't temper with the data saving feature and don't mess it up with their Chinese site on it home page. One thing am sure of is that they will remove support for some phones like BB OS ( OS 7 and below) and java phones. 2 Likes |

Chrome my foot. That browser is bad news on Mobile. its doesn't actually close, consumes RAM like no mans business and lemme not get started on the data it consumes...even while browsing Facebook. Data Savings mode my foot. I've got 31 tabs on OperaMini and RAM usage doesn't pass 35MB. You can quit the browser and it shuts down fully. With Chrome, just 6 tabs is 39MB gone. No option to close the browser so its either you relegate it to background or u force close. Restart phone and its one of the first things to boot up. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
