Opera started as a Norwegian technology company, but was then bought by a Chinese consortium in 2016 for $600 million. While there is no evidence that Opera is a virus for China to mine Bitcoin, Opera is owned by Chinese companies. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/11/business/dealbook/china-opera-kunlun-qihoo-golden-brick.html https://www.cloudwards.net/opera-review/#:~:text=Ever%20since%20Opera%20was%20acquired,gaming%20version%20called%20Opera%20GX. https://www.engadget.com/amp/2016-07-18-opera-browser-sold-to-a-chinese-consortium-for-600-million.html https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/opera-sold-600-million-chinese-consortium/
