About this app

Your ultimate, no-BS browser – faster, safer, and packed with tools the others wish they had. Free VPN, ad-blocking, tracker-blocking, and total customization, all in one package. Say goodbye to basic and hello to a browser that actually does more than load pages.

THE FULL FEATURE LINEUP:
🛡️ Free VPN – Because your privacy shouldn’t come with a price tag.
⛔ Enhanced Ad Blocker – Ads? Nope. uBlock Origin-powered, so it actually works.
👀 Tracker Blocker – Stops others from selling your browsing habits.
🎨 Total Customization – Dark Mode, wallpapers, themes—make it your browser.
🌍 Sync Across Devices – Keep your tabs, bookmarks, and settings wherever you go.

🚫 BLOCK ADS. TAKE BACK CONTROL.
Tired of the internet looking like Times Square? Our ad blocker does more than slap a bandaid on the problem—it deletes ads, trackers, and all the other garbage slowing you down.

🛡️ BROWSE PRIVATELY, ANYWHERE.
Free VPN = total privacy with just one tap. No sign-ups, no weird data collection, no "7-day free trials" that suddenly charge you $9.99. It just works.

🔒 LOCK DOWN EVERY DEVICE.
Need protection beyond Opera? VPN Pro covers everything—your apps, your entire phone, even your grandma’s tablet (if you’re feeling generous). One subscription, six devices.

📉 DATA SAVINGS THAT ACTUALLY SAVE DATA.
Why load a 10MB webpage when we can slim it down for you? Opera compresses pages, so you get the speed without the data drain.

🎨 YOUR BROWSER, YOUR RULES.
Customize everything—wallpapers, icons, layouts. Dark Mode? Of course. Opera is your browser, not just another cookie-cutter app.

I've liked using this as my main browser for a while but they recently renovated the way tabs are organized and wow, has it become laggy. it's a lot slower opening and loading tabs now. I'm not sure why they had to change it at all. Edit: ty to the team for responding! I was able to remove tab groups, but there is still lag when switching between non-group tabs or making a new tab. ty for trying though.

We appreciate your feedback about the recent changes in tab organization and the lag you're experiencing. You can disable this behavior in the following setting: Main menu > Settings > Browser, and then disable "Tab islands." If you don't see this setting yet, it will be available in a future update. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Opera Team

Recent update is a disaster! The biggest issue - when you open tabs view - it happens notably slower than before and is barely usable (and I have Pixel 9 pro, so no chance that my hardware is insufficiently powerful). As well, I don't care about "tab islands" and had to search how to disable them. I'm not sure if they are part of performance degradation

We appreciate your feedback about the recent update and the slower tab view. You can disable the "tab islands" feature in Settings under Browser. We have some additional tips for you: swipe on the bottom button bar to switch between normal and private mode, and mute media by tapping the speaker icon. Let us know if you have any other feedback!

Much better than Firefox or DuckDuckGo. Smoother and more efficient than Chrome. I was using Chrome for years, then I switched to Opera. It's smooth and fast browsing, with no unnecessary pop up pages or separate link pages that burden Chrome browsing. I tested it side by side with Chrome, using the exact same search and browsing pages on each and found that Opera sorted through the sites and pages much more efficiently. Better bookmark features, easier browser history cleaning, and free VPN.
