The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

I noticed that there is no mention of Qihoo 360's acquisition of Opera once so ever in the Opera Wikipedia page which I find distributing. I'd go ahead and add an entry myself, but I just know it may be debated and all this crap so it will be a waste of time. Been down that road before. Plus, my writing composition isn't at all the best out there. I feel people need to know that it has been in fact Chinese bought.

"In November 2016, the original Norwegian owner of Opera sold his stake in the business to a Chinese consortium under the name Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund I Limited Partnership for $600 million.[36][37][38] An earlier deal was not approved by regulators.[39]"

Qihoo 360 is mentioned at the top of the page now. I remember they did a lot towards stopping the Wannacry ransomware, I expect they do that sort of thing a lot although no one notices usually. ;)
