No incentive was offered Browsing through the web is a great and easy task using Opera, especially on websites that I have never been to before. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Opera 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. (I know it's Chrome-based) --- ### customizable interface makes multitasking seamless - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: atul m. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered My overall experience has been extremely good. I feel like I am browsing the internet again for the very first time. No idea why I stuck with Google Chrome for so long. Opera is the best browser that's ever been created. New PCs should include this browser out of the box. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I will just start by saying this. If you are using any other web browser, you are not using the full potential of your computer. I was recommended Opera by a friend of mine. I was completely blown away by all the features available to the user. One of my favorite features is the built-in VPN. This lets you keep all your data safe from your IP provider. Another important feature is the integrated ad-blocker. You no longer have to worry about random popups. If you use different social media apps, Opera has a built-in messenger that integrates apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, Telegram, and Discord. You no longer have to have multiple browsers opened. If you are a gamer, Opera is a must. Unlike other web browsers, Opera lets you customize the amount of RAM being used while online. You can set limits so your computer components are being used more for the game you are playing. I never noticed how much RAM my browser was using until I customized the settings with Opera. #### Cons The only con I have come across is the lack of browser extensions like the ones Google Chrome offers. The built-in VPN is great but lacks features that the main VPN providers offer. #### Reasons for switching to Opera I was recommended Opera by a friend at work. It offers so much more. --- ### Opera is nice - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sarah E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Not sold on the Ai they integrate #### Cons Complex settings can overwhelm new users, and the privacy policy allows data sharing for targeted ads.

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 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! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Opera GX - Switch from Chrome! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kieran R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I've only been using the Ópera browser for a short time, but I've heard good things about it and I started using it and I really liked it, firstly because it's a simple and lightweight browser, which is very good. I'm also able to easily use multiple tabs and access my bookmarks quickly helping me save time. I use it a lot because I research a lot, I will continue to use it and I highly recommend the Ópera browser. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I like most about the Ópera browser is that it is a light program that takes up little space on the computer, it is also very simple and easy to use and even so it is very efficient, I have two websites and I often have to open several tabs and I love the organization from the Ópera tabs. #### Cons What I like least about the Ópera browser is the problem that when someone uses my computer it is difficult to log in without having to exit the browser myself and erase my data. I believe this problem should be resolved. --- ### Opera, the lightest internet browser - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Inaam K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have been using Opera since Windows XP days, and like it for its stability, fast loading and not consuming much hardware resources like Ram, etc. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Opera is one on the most early web browser in the market, that has kep its shine by constant improvements, integrations and updates. It is very light weight and installs very easily. It user graphics interface is very pleasant and offers a variety of themes to select from according to your likings. You can change your default search engine which is integrated in the address bar. Opera tends to focus a lot on keeping your browsing sessions secure. You can choose to surf the web using its incognito mode to avoid cookies and clean your usage traces. It also has an in built VPN, that not only mask your IP by changing it, but also ebales you to evade censorships. Along with that, it also has a data compression tool, which minimize your data usage, a pretty handy feature when using costly cellular data. In the end, it works smoothly on all devices and platforms. #### Cons While using Opera Web Browser on Android, I have noticed that if you load a page and then switch to another app without closing Opera while multitasking and then switch back to it, it do not retain the preloaded data and reloads the page (probably to minimize Ram consumption) , which is quite irritating if you do so while filling a form or writing an email or something, as you have to start all over again. --- ### Opera Browser Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Oladipo A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

This makes the product very appealing to an average user particularly in a country where data is relatively expensive. The secure browsing experience it provides also makes it user friendly. Its light feature makes it appealing as well as it uses less space. #### Cons The restricted number of extensions that can be used on the software is a major issue that should be addressed. Also, based on experience, it has been discovered that some sites don't load/load well on opera.

I'm using Opera for so many years. I need to use multiple browsers to check the way my websites appears to different visitors. Also, I like to keep different browsers logged in to different accounts across social media or other services, so that I don't have to switch from one account to another within the same browser.

It has quick commands to trigger, everything in the right place, increasing the ease of navigation, it's a considerable browser, like other competitors, I recommend it because I've never had a problem.
