Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.

Partner integration? You mean a partner of them pays them to be allowed to look at your browsing habits?

Did opera leave Norway? Is this stuff worse after that, if they left? What country did they go to?

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.

Wait, so you are saying that being open source and having a default search engine is the same as being both proprietary and being owned by a Chinese owner?

I'm saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.
