## Reviews

### "Great browser" — 5.0/5

> **Clay** | *4 September 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the user interface and snappy fast operating speed while using different functions of the opera browser.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing about opera that i dont like. Its an amazing, efficient web browser. I suggest it to anyone.

### "Opera broser review. On late 2025." — 4.0/5

> **Fred** | *15 November 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This browser always surprises me. They have their gaming profile or start page, and it's amazing, in a way I commonly see it as the "sniper rifle version" of browsers, fast and secure, good accuracy, and the customization layer is one of it's strongest suits.
> 
> **Cons**: That certain options during the initial setup are a bit invasive, if you don't check them carefully, on next startup, on te next session, the browser runs automatically, it opens by itself, other than that it's a great browser.
> 
> Browsing through the web is a great and easy task using Opera, especially on websites that I have never been to before.

### "customizable interface makes multitasking seamless" — 3.0/5

> **atul** | *10 April 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Opera offers a fast, lightweight browsing experience with a built-in VPN and ad blocker for enhanced privacy. Its customizable interface and sidebar tools make multitasking seamless.
> 
> **Cons**: Some websites don’t render properly on Opera compared to other browsers, leading to compatibility issues. Additionally, occasional crashes or slowdowns can occur with heavy tab usage.

### "amazing Opera Browser" — 4.0/5

> **Nazım** | *19 January 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It blocks all ads. I've made it my default browser. I'm using an iPhone 16 Pro. Even so, I prefer Opera over Safari.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be slow sometimes, but I don't mind because it closes the ads, and that's very satisfying for me. Thank you.
> 
> I think Opera hasn't yet received the recognition it deserves. I believe it deserves more, and to achieve that, it needs to reach a wider audience. It deserves it.

### "Best Browser Ever\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Parker** | *24 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I will just start by saying this.  If you are using any other web browser, you are not using the full potential of your computer.  I was recommended Opera by a friend of mine.  I was completely blown away by all the features available to the user.  One of my favorite features is the built-in VPN.  This lets you keep all your data safe from your IP provider.  Another important feature is the integrated ad-blocker.  You no longer have to worry about random popups. If you use different social media apps, Opera has a built-in messenger that integrates apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, Telegram, and Discord.  You no longer have to have multiple browsers opened.   If you are a gamer, Opera is a must.  Unlike other web browsers, Opera lets you customize the amount of RAM being used while online.  You can set limits so your computer components are being used more for the game you are playing.  I never noticed how much RAM my browser was using until I customized the settings with Opera.
> 
> **Cons**: The only con I have come across is the lack of browser extensions like the ones Google Chrome offers.  The built-in VPN is great but lacks features that the main VPN providers offer.
> 
> My overall experience has been extremely good.  I feel like I am browsing the internet again for the very first time.  No idea why I stuck with Google Chrome for so long.  Opera is the best browser that's ever been created.  New PCs should include this browser out of the box.
