Looks like Opera GX is now injecting adverts for credit cards directly through the browser via pop-ups. Microsoft Edge got in trouble for similar behaviour when they advertised buy now pay later schemes. No idea why a browser company would willingly hurt their image like this, especially one that constantly mocks Microsoft Edge themselves. Opera already got in trouble in for predatory loan apps (screenshot isn’t mine, saw it when I was browsing the Firefox subreddit).

yet another reason to not use it (they do other scummy stuff too I think)

I don't know, I used to use Opera but I just don't like it anymore. More gimmicky than useful imo. Firefox is my preferred now.

I agree, I use firefox.
