Use our built-in AI Image Generator to turn your words into stunning visuals in seconds. Create custom wallpapers, unique social posts, or images for work, all without leaving your browser.

• Ad Blocker
Opera’s built-in Ad Blocker ensures pages load faster and your battery lasts longer. Experience the web with fewer interruptions, watch videos with fewer ads, and block intrusive pop-ups. You can also manage cookie and privacy dialogs directly in your Settings for a cleaner, smoother experience.

• Built-in Free VPN
Opera includes a Free VPN to keep your browsing private. The VPN encrypts your internet connection, helping you stay incognito and protecting your personal details. Choose from three virtual locations with no subscription or login needed.

• Powerful Downloader & Offline Pages
Stop worrying about patchy internet. Opera’s downloader lets you grab videos and music whenever they’re available. Downloads happen in the background and automatically resume if the connection drops. Traveling? Save any page to your Offline Pages to access it later without a signal. Use the "Save as PDF" feature to instantly convert pages for easy offline reading.

• Data Savings
Don’t let high data costs limit your browsing. Opera’s Data-saving mode uses smart compression to significantly reduce the weight of every page you visit. It’s the most efficient way to browse more while using less data, ensuring a reliable connection even on weak networks.

• Private Browser
Enhance your web privacy with a built-in Free VPN and Ad Blocker. Use private search and incognito tabs to browse the web without leaving a trace. When you close your tabs, your browsing tracks are cleared automatically.

• Flow & Seamless Sync
Pick up where you left off on any device. Share files, links, and notes across all your devices instantly with Flow. Your history and bookmarks stay synced across mobile and desktop—all you need is one Opera Account.

• Custom Newsfeed
Follow the topics you care about in a fully customizable newsfeed. Not interested in certain topics? Just deselect the noise to tailor your feed. You can also download articles to read later while offline to stay up to date anywhere.

• Personalized Browser
Make the browser your own. Customize your settings to fit your preferences: homepage, search engine, wallpaper, and more. Use Night Mode to dim the screen and protect your eyes during late-night browsing.

Ratings and reviews

I have used Opera for a long time now, and I truly believe that it's a fantastic browser to use as your main one. You might still need to use others occasionally, because it's not considered a standard browser so some stuff or websites may not work, but its fr really good, at least give it a try, instead of just using your device's default browser that slurps up your data and sells it to whoever, because it's not like you can just refuse chrome, or edge, terms of service.Nowyurgivenotheroption!

The Opera app icon will NOT stay on the home screen, even if it is locked in settings! Constant updates isn't helping this issue. This forces you to always have to go in the app drawer just to open the app! Although I'm a fan of Opera, I've also noticed that most websites insist on using Chrome or other more popular browsers in order to access them. But these other browsers don't allow as much blocking of their nonsense! They allow too much access to the phone! So frustrating!

The best browser I've ever used, I don't even use my YouTube app anymore, I watch everything through here because it's that great and has a very sleek and user friendly interface. My only complaint is the AdBlock isn't strong enough to block some particularly tenacious popups that make browsing more difficult and potentially dangerous, other than that it's an amazing browser.
