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.

• 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

The browser is pretty amazing. The amount of personal customization is amazing. I do wish there was a way to group tabs. I've had other browsers that allow that so it took a while to get to used not being able to organize or group multiple tabs. I read books so I have several tabs open at a time and it's just a little inconvenient not being able to do that. Other than that, this app has become my number one browser to use.

***Update - Not crashing, but the annoying large bottom tool bar pops up when I use the swipe up gesture to navigate back, home, or to other open apps on my phone. Not helpful at all. Lately - it keeps crashing. It's slow and laggy. I keep getting a pop up box aaking if I want to close the app or wait. No other app on my phone is acting this way. I've had to use the Chrome browser instead.

Mostly good, but if you read a lot of .pdfs in your browser such as product information, data sheets, forms, etc. you CAN'T open a pdf in the browser. You have to download it, go find the file, then open it up in a .pdf viewer. I find myself using other browsers more often because a lack of this feature. The browser fills my phone with .pdfs I look at briefly before realizing they aren't what I want. It has turned my phone into a collection of junk files that occasionally need hours of culling.
