Not bad timing for Norway's Opera's end-of-July IPO [1]. (Not suggesting any nefarious intent on the EU's end.)

I thought Opera was sold to a Chinese consortium (Kunlun, Qihoo and Golden Brick) back in 2016? [1] [2] Apparently they kept the Norway office as the headquarters though, and the website makes little reference to the Chinese office and no reference I could find to their new CEO.

The Norwegian company that used to be called Opera Software is now called Otello Corporation - they also sold the name of their company together with the browser. [3]

Norway is not a member of the EU.

It is a member of EEA though and this ruling affects them.
