What is Opera?

Opera is a free web browser that offers a plethora of advantages and extensive customization features. Built on the Chromium framework, it leverages much of Google Chrome's extensive library of extensions, including a fully free VPN service for users.

These essential features contribute to making your browsing experience smoother, more enjoyable, and less cluttered, thanks to its built-in ad blocker that minimizes distractions.

Moreover, Opera's integrated virtual private network enhances your online privacy while simultaneously reducing tracking by third parties.

The browser also facilitates social connectivity, with popular social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, Twitter, and VKontakte easily accessible directly from the sidebar, and it allows you to enjoy your favorite tunes through built-in music players such as Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.

With Opera, you can also effortlessly:

- Perform searches using Google with an auto-fill prediction feature.
- Share encrypted content and links—including articles, images, and videos—across devices using the My Flow feature.
- Easily switch the integrated ad blocker on or off as needed.

Available for MacOS, Linux, and Windows platforms, Opera is designed to work seamlessly on desktop versions starting from MacOS X 10.11, Ubuntu 16.04, and Windows 7 or later, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of users. Additionally, its commitment to user-friendly design and privacy protection makes it a top contender among modern web browsers.

I consider I have had a completely pleasant experience with Opera, since I have been able to manage all my social networks, I have been able to make online payments, open all kinds of web pages, access online software and many other things. In addition, I have Opera on my mobile device, and the application for phones works wonderfully, its design is also completely optimized and the general operation does not have any type of lag. I am satisfied with Opera because in every search I do, security is always present thanks to the VPN system. I will continue to use this great browser for the security it provides me day by day.

    Positive

    What person would not like to have a great capacity to search the internet without any delay? Opera is the best option for people who want a reliable and totally fast search engine. One of the things that I liked the most about Opera is that it has a unique design, with a great organization in all its sections and that it allows the user to feel great comfort when carrying out all kinds of searches on the Internet. In addition, another of the things that I love about Opera is that it has an excellent VPN system, which is capable of camouflaging our personal information and being able to navigate without any risk or concern that an intruder accesses our personal data. It should be noted that this VPN does not slow down browsing or searching for anything on the internet. Finally, another of the things that I like about Opera is that it consumes very little computer capacity, its consumption of computer capacity is very low, which helps the user to perform other tasks while the browser is fully operational.

    Negative

    Opera is perfect software! It doesn't have any bad features that would make me think badly about this great browser. I have had an unbeatable experience with this browser and have been able to have a wide search on the internet thanks to Opera. Everything works like a charm, I definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for a secure and fully optimized browser for their business or personal use.

    Very good effectiveness thanks to its VPN system.

    Date: Mar 09 2021
    Summary

    I am happy to say that I have had a very pleasant experience since I started using Opera. This has been a fairly fast browser to perform all kinds of searches on the internet, despite the limitations that have been present in the extensions store, I consider that it has been a really useful browser to be able to perform all kinds of searches, access networks social networks, access to online software and also to manage work zones. Opera takes up very little space on our computers, and this is one of the things that has encouraged us to continue using it the most. Its UI is fantastic, very attractive, easy to use and all its sections have immediate accessibility.

    Positive

    I never thought it would have a significantly good impact when using the Opera browser. This browser is fantastic for online browsing, as it has a very comfortable UI, and this makes the user feel a satisfactory experience while browsing through various websites. One of the things that I liked the most about Opera is that it is a browser that does not consume as much memory from the computer, weighs very little and takes up very little space on the hard disk, in addition, when it is running, its consumption is not so much in The RAM card, despite having several tabs running in the browser, continues to have a magnificent fluidity which helps to have a fluid navigation at all times. Another thing that I liked about Opera is that it is a service that has an integrated VPN, this VPN helps to reduce the risks in web browsing, and it is impossible for an intruder to enter our IP address and steal our personal information, this VPN works great, it does not have slow navigation.

    Negative

    The effectiveness that Opera has had in web browsing is impressive, however, it is important to highlight a negative characteristic that this browser has had and that significantly affected my performance in web browsing. The negative point that has occurred in Opera is:

    - The browser promises to extend the user experience thanks to the extensions available in the store, however, there are many limitations in the extensions that can be found in this store, compared to other browsers that offer a more extensive library of extensions.
