Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Let's define what I want to say right away. The only reason I writing here is to share my 3 years user experience. An extremely frustrating user experience. GX has become just awful: a couple of useful functions in a heap of absolutely unnecessary junk, as if the browser was builded according to the 10-year-old's desires (from those who choose components for PC depending on how they glow). Gamers are not the ones, who light everything with RGB, gamers are the ones, who are used to hotkeys, fast decision making, having the one clear way to do technical things, and to good UI/UX. And sometimes "good UI/UX" means asceticism and minimalism. Decent features: 1) A sidebar with "workspaces" that work as tab containers abstracted from each other, which allow you to organize real workspaces just with "save tabs from a previous session" setting enabled. (Aaand no, it's not. After 115 update, all tabs opened in separate workspaces move to first one on browser closing. Bravo, devs, I'm not even going to comment on this. Nor will I comment on my desire to continue using a browser with 1,700 tabs casualy shuffled); 2) An adblocker embedded on top of chromium (which sometimes doesn't work with proxies and DoH); 3) The address bar connected with the search bar. Hints when searching from it include tabs from the history, what can be quite convenient; 4) The "panic button", not in the form it presented in, but in the form of some important tab quick access button (why should I come up with myself how to work with the function? Used it to quickly check my mail); 5) GX Control, when it works for some unholy reasons. 6) Synchronization of bookmarks and browser settings between devices via an opera account (the same sync that is available with almost any chromium browser). Opportunity to view a list of tabs opened on another logged-in device (this is proudly called "tab synchronization", although it is no different from bookmarks); 7) Hotkeys settings for many things (except for the things for which there is no such setting, e.g. there are hotkeys for moving to a specific workspace, but there are no hotkeys for moving to the next/previous one; there are hotkeys for moving to the next/previous tab inside the workspace, but there are no hotkeys for moving the tab into another space directly or opening the "move tab" context window); 8) The standard browser UI was pleasant to see before update. Won't comment on new one. Just give you an example of working with "cool looking" settings - searching for specific settings by keywords doesn't return you the settings themselves, It returns whole groups, somewhere inside of which there is a setting you need. Great job, lmao.
  • Cool when you first use it. some nice features. Some decent customization. Nice themes and coloring but somehow LOST my themes.
  • 1) Chromium engine means compatibility with most Chrome extensions. 2) It still retains the old Opera interface without last year's annoying additions to Opera Stable, like the un-customizable and non-interactive screen border that forced me to switch. 3) Funny social media management.
  • + The workspaces are what caught my attention the most about this browser since it was most comfortable for me to be able to manage different tabs from different sites without closing them. This allowed me to have a better workflow regarding the real estate market research that I do since I can have a work space for the different brokers which I am investigating properties and on the other hand I can have a work space for networks and another for research and grow my company. + Contains an ad blocker that in the long run is very useful for those ads that constantly appear on certain sites and become annoying on many occasions. This has allowed me to browse safely by not having annoying ads that take up a large amount of space on the screen and that can confuse certain people to fall for certain electronic scams. So with this feature I don't have to worry about ads as it blocks pretty much all ads from any website that has them embedded. + In its sidebar it is easy to manage social networks, especially direct messages from any social media that can be used in the browser, including WhatsApp. So in times of having to manage personal or business social networks and use the browser for other activities, it is practical to be able to do it in Opera without having to use the mobile device that has been used so much for a long time. + It is possible to be able to modify the interface of this browser to your liking, besides that the themes are very visually pleasing, including the dark mode themes which are of various color combinations that accommodate different users. The sidebar can be modified as well as used to store the windows there, as well as the shortcuts of the pages, as well as direct access to the chats of all social networks.
  • Easy to use, easy to modify to your liking, you can control the RAM consumption so you're able to open as many windows as you want and it won't cause any issues or interruptions with your games.

Cons

  • What about the "junk" part? • Mods are just browser themes named with a word "like in games". However, don't provide any functionality, unlike mods in games. • Sounds and music in the browser. No comments. When someone wants to listen to music, they go and turn on normal music there, where people usually listen to music, and certainly not the music embedded in the browser. Sounds for actions, according to UX teachings, are needed when the user reads the action with them. Here we are talking about a browser where the user has no distractions and his only task is to watch what he clicks. • Profiles. Their functionality is limited to 4 settings checkboxes, which don't really change anything. Are needed for... Used for... Okay, I can't even think of a use for them. In total, here we have: an incognito mode disguised as a profile setting, a mode with browser sounds turned off (which are turned off with one toggle switch in the settings), a mode with browser tabs sound turned off (a browser sound channel mute button disguised as a profile setting, lol) and a performance mode (yeah, performance mode for weak devices in the browser that take disk space with... music. I don't realy know, is the stupidity of this idea really so unobvious that it needs to be explained? There is, at least, opera mini, which combines the performance of performance mode (really that simple!) and the lack of the need to download a full-sized browser.) • The "Dark theme for all pages" function works in a way that would be better if it didn't work in any way. Have you ever heard of "Color the black in grey, and the grey in grey, and in 'de magic ray you will get a mentally unhealthy user, who will never be the same"? No, cause i just made it up. At least here is the visible effort. • 1000 and 1 express panel (new tab screen) settings. Awesome. Let me just remind you that "browsers" are used for "browsing" web pages hosted on the global network, and not for looking at express panel (suspect that devs just forgot about this). All I need from a "new tab" is the opportunity to navigate from it to the page I need. I can do this through the address bar, through the search engine in the address bar, and through bookmarks. Why, in the name of nine hells, duplicate it all on this garbage panel? To spend 2 years improving it instead of fixing bugs, adding real functionality, and working with browser performance? (Yes.) Or to report to investors with a beautiful picture? (...) • Rude ARGB color settings overwriting, aka GX Lights. Why, if all the brands represented have their own flexible settings? Btw, it breaks the Logitech G HUB in some cursed way and neither Opera nor Logitech have fixed this for over a year now, lol. • Mediaplayer with support for major services only. In a world where every major music service has own application with an amazing amount of convenient functions for musics listening (where, let me remind you, do people go when they want to listen to music (not to the browser music)), which can also collapse into a system tray and which also has a separate audio output channel, independent of all other sources? Well... Think again. • Pinboards. So, we have browser themes (which we call mods), we have browser colors (which we call themes), oh the wrong topic... So, we have static bookmarks (which we call bookmarks and which sync), we have dynamic bookmarks (which we call tab synchronization and which sync). Oh, great idea, let's add another static bookmarks (which we'll call Pinboards and which will sync)! Umm, maybe not? Or maybe this is a cool extension of the bookmarks functionality? If so, I'm sorry to inform you, but the bookmarks are in another place. Or maybe it's an attempt to imitate Figma? If so, I'm sorry to inform you, but it's abortive attempt. Crypto Wallet. Who would ever trust a cryptowallet embedded in a browser? Well, guys, information security exists. • RGX, which makes even the most blurred videos... also grainy. • GX Control, when it doesn't work. (What? I couldn't even figure out any pattern.) • Browser games. No really, browser games (that no one has ever run.) While we live in 2025, opera devs live in 2008 or in 2108 (or they are just trying to convince investors who have never seen real games of their involvement in the gamedev, but shh. I have seen couple of good ones there - just let them go somewhere else. As an indie i just brrrr from this. I would agree that someone might like it, but that someone is not me or other 99% of humanity. Regardless of that, GX games are still somewhere nearby for some godless reasons.) • "Panic button", one scene, no rights reserved - It is made for those who watch, hihihi, special videos, hihi, so that if mom comes in, thay could save their honor! - Well done, but can I go already? - And with the latest release, the long-awaited feature of replacing the browser history with a fake one after 14 days of inactivity has arrived! Because, you know, haha, yes, well, you know, ahahah, yes, you all know, XD, we're such a naughty boys, hihi! After all, we all are degenerates and can't press ctrl+shift+n. Well, It's stupid, but now you can understand what you have to deal with when it comes to this browser. It's just vulgar, putting these jokes in the master-release. You have discord chats for that. • There are a couple more smalls: restrictions on the choice of search engines, a small number of specialized extensions, cutting out some useful functions, rarely released fixes, AI working not for you, but for itself. And we also don't have tab islands :)
  • Loses passwords and data. Slow opening times. Can't drag windows easily at all.
  • 1) Keeps deleting my browsing history and logging me out of accounts approximately once per month. I've already experienced this thrice. If it's supposed to be a safety measure, I don't need such measures, and there's nothing in the settings that seems to control this. Considering I mainly rely on the browser to remember stuff for me, this is intolerable. 2) Buggy Speed Dial customization. At first, I was puzzled why my tabs kept disappearing until restarting the program after I used the thumbnails. Turns out you had to disable thumbnail tile animations to prevent such malfunctions. 3) Even less useful support compared to Opera Stable. 4) Bloated with gaming functions that I don't need. I know it's supposed to be a gaming browser, but if the other version is unusable, hey, can't help it. 5) Console changes only stay while you stay on the tab with the console dialog opened, which takes up space. 6) Apparently even greater memory consumption than Chrome, somehow.
  • - It is a bit complicated to add plugins within this browser, also not all plugins are available for opera, so if you need to switch to this browser you will have to consider the availability of different plugins if you need one in particular and if It is not available to see if there is a similar one that meets the needs and that is safe since this Opera plugin store is not very old. On the other hand, if it does not require special plugins then this browser would be a good option to have a good performance without consuming so many resources. - Just as you can configure the resources that my computer consumes, it was also important to know how many resources I needed to be able to run the pages I was visiting, because if I lowered the resources of Opera too much, the pages tended to load more slowly or simply did not finish loading all of them. The elements. So it is a bit tedious to be constantly configuring the opera resources. It should have personalized performance profiles for different types of work, so it can be more adapted to the activities you are doing at any given time, so you don't waste time configuring how much ram and processor the opera is going to consume at all times. In addition to operating itself, it requires a minimum of consumption because if not, not only the tabs but the entire browser will simply freeze. - I like that it has a VPN included, but it is not the fastest to navigate, it is possible that not all the pages you want to access load since the IP addresses of Opera are practically banned for certain sites. In addition, it may not be safe to use this VPN since it is integrated into the browser, having security problems, so you have to take precautions regarding this feature that is included. - Not all sites are compatible with this browser, including Opera has problems with certain certificates as they are not up to date and this causes a "site not secure" message to appear which is not the case. Another thing that bothers me is that it is slow to open complicated pages, if they are simple websites there may not be any problems, but the rest takes too long to load the page definitively.
  • No cons, I have been using this browser for quite a while and I haven't encountered a single bad thing in it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 1. Safari has one of the smoothest animations and user experience among any web browser. 2. The data gets synchronised seamlessly between all the devices. 3. With the new macOS Sonoma Safari now lets you create different profiles inside the app for different purposes. 4. It consumes lesser system memory and stays fluid to use even with many tabs opened. 5. Passwords can be stored securely on keychain because of the Apple integration.
  • 1. Safari is one of the best if not the best web browser especially for the Apple ecosystem because of its seamless user interface across all devices. 2. It has a lot of security feature like, it blocks unnecessary trackesr and cookies automatically and warns about malicious websites. 3. The memory optimization is phenomenal in Apple devices. 4. Previously safary does not used to have a lot of customization features but lately they are pushing some great customization features that improves the user experience.
  • Safari is a browser that has been very essential both for my personal use and for my work use within the real estate company, I liked that this browser has great fluidity when it is opened for the first time on a computer, it is incredible like this browser opens immediately without any delay, also if you have left tabs open the last time you have used that browser, all tabs will be loaded again when you start the browser again, I also liked that this browser has a good download speed for any type of file, that helps a lot since the speed is never limited when you are downloading several files or when you are downloading a single file, you can enjoy all the speed of your Internet to download any file. I also like how fast I am in the browser when it comes to deleting browsing history and deleting browser cookies, it's impressive how I can delete all this information instantly, unlike other browsers, Google Chrome that takes a long time time to delete browsing history, currently in Safari, browsing history can be deleted instantly, you don't have to wait even a second for that information to be deleted. I also liked that the browser has a function to be able to modify the size of the text font of the entire browser and the information that you view on the various web pages, this function is very important since it allows me to modify the text font and that makes me have a much more organized reading, also, it allows you to modify the full size of each web page, which helps me to be able to visualize each page in a much more complete way.
  • Safari is one of the most powerful browsers today, I really love how this browser works within my mobile phone, currently using a device with iOS operating system, and the browser behaves perfectly. One of the first things I like about this browser is that it gives me the ability to directly send a web page to any of my contacts within any social plan, this browser is capable of detecting my contacts on WhatsApp and Telegram, so In this way you can send a web page or the link of it directly without doing such a complex process. Another thing that I love about you browsers that it has excellent integration with the iCloud system, in this way each of the favorite people that I have stored, will be sent to my iCloud account, and when I use a new mobile device and that if it is iCloud account, all those screen favorites will be fully accessible. I really love the international aspect of this browser, mainly because it helps me to easily enter the number of tasks that I have open, in addition, it allows me to move in each of the tabs with just a simple slide of my fingers, it's fantastic.
  • Safari is a very functional browser for all Apple devices, the way in which it was working helps you to carry out all kinds of searches in terms of insurance, it is important to highlight that the search within this browser is very fluid, it is Being able to search for anything on any search engine is a matter of milliseconds, plus the overall operation of this browser is smooth, which keeps the user experience intact. Next, I will mention the positive things that this browser has. 1.- One of the main positive things about this browser is how comfortable it is to use, in addition, it is important to highlight the noise it has, you can start up to more than 10 tabs simultaneously and the browser will continue to behave smoothly In addition, if you decide to access the configuration section of this browser on your desktop, the process will always be fluid, you can access the configuration, delete history and many other things in a fluid way. I really loved the fluidity that this browser always shows, no matter what you need to do within it, everything will be done immediately within your Safari browser. 2.- The second thing that I liked about this browser is that it allows me to access the desktop view from my mobile phone. I have this application installed on my mobile phone, to be able to search, and sometimes I need to view a page in ordered mode, I can select this option within the browser and the window will load immediately in computer mode. What is a positive point because previously I had been using other browsers that had not used the display in computer mode very well, since on some occasions they were not able to load this computer mode correctly and they continued to show the mobile mode. 3.- The third thing that I have loved about this browser is regarding the download speed, I have noticed that other browsers limit the download speed a lot, however, this does not happen within Safari, since this browser is capable of using the vast majority of the Internet's capacity, achieving all the files and documents that were in a matter of seconds depending on the speed of your Internet. Also, the browser will still behave smoothly no matter if you are downloading up to 10+ files simultaneously, the download speed will be affected as it will download multiple files at the same time, but the upload within the browser will remain intact. 4.- The fourth thing that I have loved about this browser is regarding the favorite tabs section. When you save favorite tabs within this browser, that tab will automatically be synced with your iCloud account, so every time you sign in to iCloud on a new device, you'll have access to those previously saved favorite tabs. This is very important since I had previously lost access to my mobile phone and had to buy another one, by linking my iCloud account I have recovered all the favorite tabs that I had registered in the previous device. I consider that this factor is very positive and helps you to recover favorite tabs that are very important to you. 5.- The fifth thing that I have loved about this browser is regarding the excellent integration it has with any application within the mobile device, you can literally transfer any website to any application within the mobile phone, you can share a website with a person through WhatsApp with the press of a simple button, since it has an immediate connection with all the applications that are installed on the mobile device. This feature is very important to me and allows me to share a group of tabs with a specific person in just a few steps.

Cons

  • 1. The variety of extension and plugins available for safari is not as high in numbers as for other web browsers like chrome. 2. It does not have a lot of features used by developers while development and debugging.
  • The only con is that it is not available for other platforms, so sometimes if I am working on a device which is not Apple I can have access to Safari and I have to log in and enter all the passwords to open anything which becomes tedious because in safari entering the password is as easy as entering the fingerprint (touch id).
  • The main negative feature of Safari is that currently it is not possible to access the download history in a simple way, it does not have any type of button to access the download history, the only way to access that history is by downloading a new file, A progress button for that download will immediately open, and there you will be able to see all the download history you have in your Safari browser. I think this is quite negative, since I don't think it's fair to download a file compulsorily to be able to access it. download history of each browser. The second negative thing about Safari is regarding its version for computers, when I have used the Safari application on my mobile device, and I have wanted to use the function of viewing a web page or computer mode, I have not had any success, when I activate this function, the page is reloaded immediately, however, it is not displayed with the desktop view, it is displayed with the mobile phone view but with a wider view of the web, I consider this to be a very negative since in Sometimes I have to access web pages through the version for computers in a mandatory way, and this function does not allow me.
  • One of the first things that I criticize about this browser is how limited the customization system is, since currently there is no possibility of installing any type of theme in the version for computers and in the version for mobile devices, selection and te They can install a theme that is capable of modifying the general color of the browser, however, it is currently possible. The browser interface on my mobile device looks attractive, however, I find that its colors are very neutral and this causes users to feel bored, it would be great to be able to modify that general interface. In addition, another of the negative things about this platform is that there is no way to access the download section manually, the only way to access the downloads you have done in a browser is by downloading a new file, this way if you It will reflect the option to download pending and completed tasks, but if you are not downloading any files and want to check the download history, it is not possible.
  • Safari is a very worthwhile browser mainly because it helps you to perform searches much faster than other browsers, however, there are some negative things that are important to mention about this browser. Next, I will mention the most outstanding negative things. 1.- The first negative thing about this browser is regarding the history session within the mobile device. I have accessed this section on several occasions, and although you can delete the history, leave me Tania, you do not have to wait the additional time for the history to be deleted, I consider that there are still some things to be integrated into this history to make it much more complete. Currently, you can quickly delete all data, but you cannot display the exact time you accessed a website, so if you are looking for a specific history record from a specific time, you will have several problems, as the application It is not able to show you the date or the detailed time of each entry to a website. 2.- The second negative thing that this browser has is that it is not customizable at all, you literally cannot modify the general browser interface, you cannot do it from the version for computers and neither from the version for mobile devices. It is very important to highlight that the interface is not at all uncomfortable, since it is a simple interface to handle, and that it adapts to all users, but there will always be users who want to modify the general interface of the browser, and it seems unfair to me that you can't change it. I believe that a store capable of offering custom themes to install within this browser should be created. 3.- What third negative thing within that browser is that it is not possible to transfer the tabs that you have open within your mobile device. It is important to note that if you can transfer your favorite tabs from your mobile phone, it is a version for computers, thanks to the iCloud system, but it cannot transfer tabs that you have open on your mobile phone to your computer. It is very necessary that simply this function and that it has a synchronization and a half with the iCloud system, in this way when registering the account of both devices, the corresponding tab transfer can be carried out.
