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 want to love Opera. But it does so many weird things. For instance, only about half the time when I click on something in another app to open a link, does it actually render the page. The tab management is hard to explain. It sort of aggressively opens new tabs all the time. And it's almost impossible to get app links to open in the app itself. It's trivial in Chrome and Firefox. So I kind of gave up after a few months and I've gone back to Firefox. Which is a shame.

Thank you for your feedback, Geoff Sweet! It’s possible to disable automatic tab grouping in Settings, Browser, Tab islands. We have some additional tips for you: Swipe on the bottom button bar to switch between normal and private mode, and you can mute media tabs by tapping the speaker icon. Let us know if you have any other feedback!

Very nice but I don't like the feature where for instance, I search up something and click on the image heading, it switches over to image but if I click back, it goes back to an empty page or the browser page instead of going to the "all" or rather first search page. It's really frustrating, sometimes I don't even know when I leave the browser, please change this feature back to how it used to be. I really hope you understand my complaint and even hope more that something should be done. TY.

By far, Opera has the most comprehensive feature set. It streamlines internet access at every turn. Only its downloader separates it from browser perfection. Hopefully future updates will (1) add support for external downloaders, and (2) put an end to pre-downloading (downloading to a temp file before a user confirms the download or selects the destination folder) which wastes data and write cycles. On such a great piece of software, pre-downloading stands out like bird droppings on a Ferrari.
