The search engine for the most demanding (gamers)

I would define it as the browser that we should all try sometime, because it adjusts to your needs in your daily life, it adjusts to the applications you use the most and you have a response when searching infinitely faster than in other browsers, it saves battery, you have integrated ad blocker and the best thing is that you have the gamer version just as free, happy searching!

PROS

What I liked most about this browser, is that it is so customized, you can adjust everything to your liking, at first I thought it was going to be a little complicated, but the truth is that it is not, in the settings you can perfectly set what kind of features you want for your browser and which ones you want to hide. Personally I changed to this browser, because in a few days I was using programs that consumed a lot of my computer, and this surprisingly consumes very little, in order to have more efficiency when working. I use Opera GX which is the same, but gives you a gamer touch for those people who are in that world, the interface is quite attractive. Another very important security advantage is that it comes with an Ad Blocker, along with hidden trackers, for those malicious pages that you find on the web, this is something very positive and an extra point. On the left side, you can manage several things at the same time, such as viewing your messaging messages, checking which tabs consume the most of your computer, cleaning your cache and history, etc.

CONS

It may be that, there are quite a few features that you can get saturated in a certain way, since at the beginning everything is enabled by default, such as sound when typing, opening a new tab, sound of notifications, etc. But this can be simply removed or lowered in the settings, or simply muted in the settings. But in general, the problems I find with this search engine are very minimal, as it is tailored to try to consume much of your computer compared to other search engines.

It works for our company

Speed and flexibility gains are my experience of Opera. The VPN makes it shine for me adding the Adnauseam extension further helped with reducing exposure on the internet.

PROS

The VPN differentiates Opera from other major players

CONS

The number of instances of Opera takes up valuable disc and system spaces

Reason for choosing Opera

Epic is just too private with no history retained. Otherwise it's the VPN

Reasons for switching to Opera

The VPN is the driver

New Opera Browser

I feel like I left and when I returned someone came in and replaced furniture and moved it all around. The nice thing about the previous version of Opera was muscle memory. I knew where all of the tools were and how to use them. Now EVERYTHING is different. The tabs at the top are smaller, with difficult controls, the speed dial is on the side instead of the top right, and so on, and frankly I really do not want to go through the trauma of learning how to make this one mine. You people messed up!

PROS

It is still fast. I haven't got past that yet.

CONS

If you have never used Opera you won't know how badly they have messed it up. Feel okay with that knowledge.

One of the easiest browsers to navigate

PROS

Opera can be differentiated from the other browsers out there by its interface. I can find everything you need fast, and it has a lot of settings and tools, also very easy to reach. I love that on the homepage, you can customize and see important/most used websites for you and the last pages you saw in the previous session.

CONS

There are quite a few web extensions that cannot be used on Opera, and there aren't many extensions substitutes just for Opera to help in this regard.

Longtime loyal Opera user

I have been very satisfied with the Opera I have been using for many years. It ensures fast and safe surfing on the Internet.

PROS

My favourite feature is Speed Dial, it speeds up the work extremely - I don't have to remember the web pages URLs. Integrated by default VPN, AdBlocker are very useful. Account Synchronisation is also perfect, but SideBar with messaging apps and fast setting are the best of best features.

CONS

There are few of them, but very rarely a web pages is displayed badly. Chat apps sometimes get stuck and need to refresh.

Reasons for switching to Opera

Opera is more user friendly, faster and contains integrated VPN and AdBlocker.
