I believe it deserves more, and to achieve that, it needs to reach a wider audience. It deserves it. Pros It blocks all ads. I've made it my default browser. I'm using an iPhone 16 Pro. Even so, I prefer Opera over Safari. Cons It can be slow sometimes, but I don't mind because it closes the ads, and that's very satisfying for me. Thank you.

On late 2025." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 15, 2025 Browsing through the web is a great and easy task using Opera, especially on websites that I have never been to before. Pros This browser always surprises me. They have their gaming profile or start page, and it's amazing, in a way I commonly see it as the "sniper rifle version" of browsers, fast and secure, good accuracy, and the customization layer is one of it's strongest suits. Cons That certain options during the initial setup are a bit invasive, if you don't check them carefully, on next startup, on te next session, the browser runs automatically, it opens by itself, other than that it's a great browser. Switched from [Avast Secure Browser](https://www.capterra.com/p/229120/Avast-Secure-Browser/) This browser is alright, but I felt it was a bit heavy for the pc where I was running it. It felt like a Chrome browser but with a lot of pending updates.

Pros Opera has been my backup browser for years! Back when I had. Virgin Mobile phone, it was the only browser I could use to check emails or successfully use a search engine on. Being a free app, its is a great value for money and intuitive to use making the learning curve easy. I love that there are no ads and I can manage tabs easily. I've never needed customer supportbut I imagine it great with how well the app runs. Cons It works great every time I use it and is only my backup because other web browsers are more integrated with my devices.

AU Anonymous User MANAGEMENT Hospitality ### "A Feature-Packed Choice" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 14, 2025 Opera’s sleek UI, ad blocker, and social/media integrations shine make it great and the privacy policy’s data sharing for ads is a letdown. Great for features but there are other browsers out there that can compete Pros Opera’s slick interface, built-in VPN, ad blocker, and social/media integrations make browsing a breeze and super convenient. Not sold on the Ai they integrate Cons Complex settings can overwhelm new users, and the privacy policy allows data sharing for targeted ads. Even though the VPN is free which is good it is very slow. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

After using the program for a few times I switched over to it right away. Pros The speed that it brings up websites. I also appreciate the way it makes it easy to delete cookies and administer the program. Cons Sometimes it doesn't integrate well with other websites and pop ups.

Medical Assistant Hospital & Health Care ### "Use Opera for Safe Browsing" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 17, 2025 Pros I love that Opera keeps my browsing safe and that it has customizable colors and personalization. I like that it has a built in VPN and ad-blocker. Cons One thing that I dislike about Opera is that it does not have the same universal features as when I log into my google account on other browsers; meaning it doesn't have my saved bookmarks and other things like that.

Ingénieur Mechanical or Industrial Engineering ### "OPERA : VPN et anti pub" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 21, 2025 Mon expérience avec OPERA est globalement très bonne, la fonction la plus utile pour moi est le VPN intégré. Pros \- Le gros point positif est le VPN intégré directement à Opera - Le bloceur de pub est aussi un gros plus - Le mode économie d'énergie est aussi intéresant Cons Le seul inconvénient est le fait qu'il soit moins populaire et n'est donc pas supporté ou moins bien par certains services web.
