Thank you. After some 'exploration' on Opera, I found the same thing you

Not so. It just means that messages exchanged between it and your
computer are encrypted. This makes the mutual messaging "safe" in the
sense that an outsider who intercepts the messages will be unable to
read them without some effort (usually more than the likely payoff is
worth.)

But the website itself may still be or contain evil.
