August 6, 2021 4.0 Opera is fluid, fast, but overall, it's a highly customizable browser, you can make it entirely personalized and access all our data on any other device with opera, it has left me with good taste because you can see the care and passion that the developer team and the community have to make it a browser with personality. My final comment is that I profoundly recommend opera to the user who wants to have a fully own space and has the latent need to have a unique browser. Pros Opera is amazing because not only its a browser, managing this software is a whole experience, integrating particular functions such as a VPN, a coin converter, and others, the revolutionary sidebar is a feature that every browser should envy, permitting us to access our social media, bookmarks, and many other functions. Cons Notwithstanding being a browser-based on chromium, Opera can be somewhat overpowering or overcharging for the user that just wants to search on the web without the need to customize so many appearances, Opera isn't for everyone, and this can be confirmed by recognizing that this browser has more than one version, opening, even more, the gap between casual handling and customization experience that opera offers us.

Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Browser with some issues" April 8, 2022 5.0 Opera is my favorite Web Browser, but I can't deny right now I am giving some steps toward the New Internet Explorer as it does have many of Opera features, and it is a little faster and better integrated with websites. Pros Good looking interface. Free VPN (with some conditions) Pop-Up videos (a super useful feature to have) Units converter ( things such as currencies or metric units can be converted by hovering over the amount, and this is super useful ) Cons You can not export your personal data to any other browser. Things like passwords shall remain in Opera, and I guess this is how they push people to remain in the software somehow. The VPN does not allow you to choose a country right now as it used to be but a region, and it makes it kind of useless. Alternatives considered [Vivaldi Browser](https://www.capterra.com/p/229063/Vivaldi-Browser/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Reason for choosing Opera The many Pros I previously suggested. Anyway, I am very disappointed with the no capability to export my passwords. Switched from [Vivaldi Browser](https://www.capterra.com/p/229063/Vivaldi-Browser/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Vivaldi is a super powerful web browser, but the Pros I wrote in "Pros" are not present in Vivaldi browser. Opera does have a clean and light user interface as well. In regard to Google Chrome... This browser is a fraud, slow, super weighted, easier to be poisoned by viruses, and it does not have a good interface at all. Honestly, Chrome is not a competence for several browsers but in marketing. Review Source Alexandru Cristian I. QA Engineer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I tried Opera to see how it ranks amongst its competitors" August 4, 2022 3.0 My overall experience with Opera was a good one for the short period of time I have used it. A reliable and stable browser with multiple functionalities embedded. Pros I liked the most the fact that you can chat directly from the browser (on the left side menu), the fact that it has a VPN and ad-blocker included inside the browser. Cons I do not have any cons, but I just noticed that it doesn't have that spark to make me switch from Chrome / Firefox or Edge. Switched from [Firefox](https://www.capterra.com/p/228987/Firefox/) I made the switch because Mozilla FIrefox seemed a more modern browser and more stable than Opera. Review Source Yassine O. CEO Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best All in one browser for both business and personal use " November 2, 2022 5.0 overall opera still the best browser i used in years, this is my 7 year since i switched from chrome to opera. Pros I have been using Opera for over 7 years, and I like it the most for its low RAM consumption and battery saving features that work on my laptop. Also,  his features are unique; first of all, you get a built-in ad blocker and a built-in VPN, and you get a sidebar where you can add your social media accounts and see your feeds on the side without opening tabs. Also,  the dark mode looks great. easy to search on and easy to manage extensions since it's based on Chrome, you can install Google Chrome extensions. Cons Recently, I had some frequent crashes and several unsupported websites; I hope they can fix these in the future. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Manly for the high RAM consumption of Chrome and because Opera had more functionality, consumed less RAM, and worked better on laptops.

I currently utilize Opera as my personal business browser because of its security features. Pros The opera browser is based on the same framework as another well-known browser, so it's pretty easy to get used to, but you can customize a lot of other aspects of it, and it includes an optional VPN. Cons Some Chrome plugins don't work with it, but I never encountered any insurmountable issues. Reason for choosing Opera Ease of use, familiarity, ability to utilize Chrome plugins, extra features like integration with crypto wallets and VPN. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) I use Chrome when working for clients, and I desperately needed a way to ensure that my personal internet usage was separate from my work history.

In addition, the left sidebar is a lifesaver as it helps to modify and add various extensions to quick access, like Messenger, WhatsApp, and top-notch players like Spotify, apple, Soundcloud and etc. Furthermore, the interface is very appealing as it gives a big thumbnail of site logos compared to Google's browser. Overall, this is a well-done browser! Pros The best thing I am enjoying in this Opera is the "'workspace''. This feature helps to segregate my sites as per my wish. Each site can be easily put under different workspaces which are denoted in small icons. Another best thing about using Opera is stopping unnecessary Ad-popups. Appearing ads is quite annoying as you cannot surf the web without peace of mind. Cons It is obvious that when using the Opera browser there is an expected speed lag. However, this is understandable, since the browser needs to bypass various restrictions for each website, in order to give the expected output. If you have a good internet speed this becomes negligible, since you will not feel a significant lag. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Many Strings are attached when surfing the web. Review Source Faheem H.

August 6, 2021 4.0 My overall experience with opera is pretty great, I get everything in opera that I want, built in vpn and an ad blocker, which makes my workflow very smooth. It consumes less ram as compared to chrome and is faster than chrome in many ways. Pros The best thing I like about this software is the built in ad blocker and vpn. You don’t have to install an external vpn or an ad blocker. There are alot of extensions that you can use in opera. Cons Umm I don’t think I didn’t like anything in this browser that I’d like to add. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Chrome consumes all your ram and is not safe at all. Review Source MW Meegan W. Educator Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing Browser" April 15, 2025 5.0 My experiences as a user of Opera has been fantastic. I no longer have to worry about my computer running slowly when I have a bunch of tabs opened at the same time. Pros Let me start off by saying I wish I had known about Opera a long time ago. I had always been a Chrome user until I tried out this new browser. It runs much smoother on my pc while also taking less resources away from my components. If you are a gaming, Opera is a must. You have the ability to set limits on how much resources the browser uses. I also like that you can have all your social media apps loaded on one page to stay connected. Cons The only con I can think of at the moment is you can't use the exact same browser extensions that you used on Chrome. Review Source JJ Jackie J.

Also provides tons of resources to learn the software! Cons No cons - I love the organization of this software. Helps keep everything together and I have no cons! Review Source TE Taya E.

I like that it has a built in VPN and ad-blocker. Cons One thing that I dislike about Opera is that it does not have the same universal features as when I log into my google account on other browsers; meaning it doesn't have my saved bookmarks and other things like that.

Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Opera is good" July 13, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Opera is with AI which help me to make preferences, I can make my own browser and my own design which I can choose from a range stunning wallpapers or I can upload my own images and I can explore the web using just one hand. I use Opera for mobile along with my Opera computer browser for sharing files. Pros The most I like about Opera is the experience with AI, called Aria. With this AI the experience is adapted to your browsing preferences and habits. Cons The least I like about Opera is the section “My flow” that is not for all devices and should be it.

So I need quick access to different pages and a better refreshing rate which opera provides me. The software has been great for me and helped me a lot for my bussiness research. I will recommend it for people looking for a great and fast search engine. Pros The best thing about opera is that it is one of the fastest browsing search engines available in the market. The reloading speed of opera is also great. There is a multiple tab opening tool in the software which makes you visit different pages in a single go. It is one of the best software for quick Internet surfing and gathering informations. Cons There is something which I noticed while using opera is that that sometimes it is not able to open some big heavy pages, it lags and becomes unresponsive for a while and opera also needs to improve its downloading speed as downloading speed of the software is average if compared to other search engine. Otherwise it is a great search engine option. Review Source CG Christopher G. Student Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A useful navigator" July 31, 2021 5.0 Pros It is a fairly easy to use and install browser, it certainly does not ask anything to other browsers like Mozilla or Chrome, it has the same tools and uses, no more and no less. It is really only not known for the low advertising it has, but it is really a great software, it also allows you to customize it with the font and colors you want. Cons The only disadvantage of this software is the use of the RAM memory of the computer where it is installed, it occupies a lot of resources for just being a browser, I think it is something that should be improved, because some computers really get stuck or overheat if this software is in use.

Safe browsing without ads and blocked sites. Opera provides me with everything I need as a professional browser, so I use it on all my devices, whether phone or computer. It is the best. Pros This browser is easy and smooth and makes browsing enjoyable and entertaining with complete safety thanks to its exceptional features Cons Maybe the response speed for relatively weak devices Review Source Rita Carla Francesca M. Author Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great browser" October 28, 2022 5.0 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. Opera is quite fast, and I especially like the way bookmarks are managed. But of course the best function is the integrated ad blocker! Pros What I like most of Opera is the ad blocker integration. You don't have to install any plug-in to have those annoying ads removed. Cons It's maybe a bit slower than Chrome, but you can barely notice it. Review Source SE Sarah E.

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.
