How do you decide the country?
E.g. Opera browser is headquartered in Norway, but the Opera company that develops the browser was bought by a Chinese billionaire a few years back.

I'd say, it's the country, that has a deciding influence on the development of a software. Because it sets the rules that the team has to follow. That should be mainly the country, where the responsible organisation has its seat.
No Lix? Sailfish? Librewolf?
Every category has an extra flag for lesser known/used options. But I happily add suggestions..
Matrix is listed as USA? Can someone explain that?
Also not listing OpenSuse? for shame.
SUSE (the company backing the community-sponsored project) went public iirc, and is owned by the Swedish private equity firm EQT AB. That firm was considering to sell it.

It has been edited/fixed already

That's gotta be an error. The matrix.org foundation is registered in the UK
Exactly as the flag shows.
Another one for open vs. closed source is on my ToDo-list.
