• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

For those of you still using Opera Max, the company has decided to suddenly discontinue the app. Not to be confused with Opera VPN, which is still available, the free VPN service helped users lower their data usage by compressing data before being served to the device. The last update was July 19th with none to follow and already delisted from the Google Play Store for most folks.

The product had a substantially different value proposition than our browser products, and represented a different focus for Opera,"the company writes in its announcement." We, therefore, focus on our browsers and other upcoming services."
 
Translation: This cost significantly more money to operate than it took in.

I'm not surprised they're pulling this, I don't see how they could have ever made it into a profitable product and Opera isn't exactly Apple or Microsoft profitability-wise.
