• Smart Browsing with AI & Creativity
Upgrade your browsing with integrated AI. Chat with our native assistant to get instant answers, summarize long articles, or brainstorm ideas. Feeling creative? 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!

VPN no longer works. It spends forever "connecting," and if you try to go into the settings to change the location, there's just a loading symbol that never actually loads the setting page. I tried updating the app, disconnecting and reconnecting to my network, force closing, uninstalling and reinstalling the app — absolutely no luck. Apparently others have had the same issue. What a shame — I used to really like this browser.

Arguably the best Android browser. Just wanted to suggest a few changes. In the new version, when the logo in Speed Dial is not shown, the address bar is a smidge too close to the upper border. If you tap it, it moves a little downwards. Nothing special of course, but you might want to make the transition seemless. Also a thing I've been waiting for is a bottom address bar than sits on top of the bottom toolbar i.e. a two-row toolbar configuration, like in Firefox.
