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 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.
