Will Opera VPN lose?

At Techcrunch today I read the news about new chips in the latest version of Opera - and, frankly, did not understand why the appearance of buttons for quick access to web versions of instant messengers was so pleasing to everyone. In the media, information is presented directly as a superinnovation. Perhaps due to the fact that instant messengers are now at the peak of popularity. Actually, there are no and there were no problems to create relevant bookmarks or start typing “web ...” in the address bar and go to the browser version of Telegram or WhatsApp, as I usually do.

Honestly, Opera fell in love with me for something else. In recent years, somehow too many of my favorite sites have been blocked, and Turbo mode or VPN, which is in Opera, turned out to be quite good alternatives to slow Tor and anonymizers.

And I don’t know - fake or insider, but TJ slipped through infa that Opera was included in the Roskomnadzor’s registry - fortunately, not the one where the sites to be closed go, but a certain register of “information dissemination organizers”. The bottom line is that resources undertake to store information about user activity for six months and transfer it to the state on demand.

Our authorities began to be selected for the Opera last year - then the RKN proposed to begin voluntary filtering of sites, but in the end everything died down. Now, perhaps, everything will start on a new one, and a curious dilemma arises: the browser faithfully stores information, blocks websites at the request of the state, but also provides VPN. I feel that sooner or later Opera Software will either make further concessions, or completely refuse to cooperate with the Russian authorities. Tertium non datur.
