Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Opera is a great browser to be able to enter any website without any type of restriction, the first thing I liked is that this platform counts as an ad blocker and pop-up blocker system, this works relatively important to be able to have a fairly good navigation comfortable, I love being able to browse any website without worrying about missing some kind of ad or some kind of popup, thanks to this feature implemented. I also like that this browser is one of the browsers that consumes the least resources on computers, since I can use it on any type of computer and on any type of mobile device without worrying about the consumption it has, in addition, I can use other applications in the background flat without presenting problems on my computer, since the consumption is relatively low. Another positive aspect is that this browser has complete compatibility with all the extensions that is available in the Google Chrome store and in other stores of other browsers, which allows you to install any type of extension without presenting problems.
  • Opera is an incredible browser that has been in charge of helping us to enter any website and have a very pleasant Internet browsing, one of the main features that I liked about this platform is that it has a VPN function, this function is completely subjective. , and it allows me to surf anonymously on the internet, this negative function in several times when I want to surf anonymously, the VPN works great and does not slow down the browsing speed, but with the help of it I can enter any website without presenting problems in the speed of opening any site, In addition, using this function is completely free, you do not have to pay anything since it is implemented within the browser when it is downloaded for the first time. Another of the features that I like about your browser that has a built-in blocking system for all kinds of annoying ads, in addition, it is capable of blocking any type of pop-up window that tries to open while browsing the web, this function helps a lot to keep the community while browsing the Internet, since seeing ads is really annoying and this feature is capable of automatically blocking each ad. The third thing I liked about this browser is the speed with which I can delete all browsing data since I started using it, the information deletion allows me to modify what I want to delete, also, well I select "delete all" The Browser is not slow at all during this process, and the removal process takes a few seconds; Therefore, all history and cookies can be deleted without waiting for a long time.
  • Opera is a browser that has focused on providing us with maximum security when browsing the Internet, since one of the first things that caught my attention in a positive way about this platform is that it has implemented a service to block everything type of ads and pop-up windows, this ad-blocking service is implemented within the platform, so every time a user browses the Internet, they will not have to worry about ads or annoying pop-up windows, everything will be blocked thanks to this extension that comes installed within the browser. Another thing I like about this browser is the great fluidity that it has to work on any device, the fluidity that this browser has shown is incredible, I can open more than 10 tabs simultaneously and the browser it will continue to behave with the same fluency, this is very important for me since this way I can open several applications on my computer while using that browser. In addition, I have loved the excellent VPN service that this browser has integrated, this VPN allows you to browse with total security, and it is also capable of protecting me against any theft of my IP address. I love the VPN service very much mainly because it makes my browsing anonymous, also the smoothness and speed with which you open the websites are not affected by this VPN.
  • Opera browser offers a very different experience than any other browser, the browser is very powerful mainly because it helps you to enter any website safely and at the same time it provides you a smooth flow on your computer. One of the first things I liked about this browser is that it has a built-in ad blocker, this ad blocker is able to block all kinds of annoying popups and ads, I have never used a browser that was capable of blocking ads before. in an automated way. In addition, another of the things that I liked about this platform is that it has an integrated VPN, this VPN is quite effective, and it allows you to browse privately at any time, using this VPN is quite simple, any user when they start using the platform, you will be able to access it quickly. I loved the fact that I can install any extension available on the google store in this browser as it has out-of-the-box compatibility with all the google store holds, plus I loved the excellent compatibility it has with my mobile device, providing a totally smooth experience while searching any website.
  • ° Its installation is light so it did not take long to finish the installation, its start was fast and its configuration was practically easy because there was not much to configure since everything was practically ready to navigate. ° It's cross-platform, I love being able to sync everything regarding history, passwords, bookmarks, etc. It is more practical than going through everything manually between different browsers. ° Features some even lighter mode for any platform. In Windows there is Opera GX which I can determine the consumption of the computer's resources. This helps a lot when I work with programs that need to consume a lot of resources, but I want to continue browsing and looking for some information in the browser without overloading my computer. Also, on Android there is Opera Mini, which is one of the lightest browsers that exist in that operating system and is complete. In addition, it works very well on Android 4.4 devices since it does not have certificate problems in Opera Mini, which happens with Chrome when the Android operating system is very old. ° It has an ad blocker that helps me enter download sites without having to go through countless websites with deceptive advertising that makes a back door in my computer and fill it with viruses without me noticing. These days you have to navigate carefully because data leakage is rampant and this can pose a personal security hazard. ° I like that it has a VPN without having to download an extension, software or something similar to be able to have private browsing. This is very useful when I want to access sites that are not available for my country or I want to have a more secure and incognito navigation when I am surfing the net.

Cons

  • The first negative aspect about this browser is the few customization options that you have within it, currently there are very few themes that can be installed within this browser, which somewhat limits the way in which you can customize the general design of the browser. user who is using it. The second thing that I did not like is that I have noticed that this browser is not capable of downloading the files with a correct speed, currently I have a good Internet connection within my company and within my home, and this browser is not capable to use the full speed of my Internet to download files much faster, this browser limits the download speed used for each new file download.
  • One of the main problems or negative things that this browser has is that currently it does not have many ways for the user to modify the general interface, various basic themes can be installed within your browser, but it needs any kind of store and you cannot purchase unique themes to install within your browser and improve the general design, I consider it very necessary to implement a store where I can buy new themes to install in my browser. The second negative thing about this browser and which I consider to be the most important is that it currently does not have a good security system to protect me against threats, I have downloaded several files on several occasions and I have had problems since they contained threats within them, For this reason, I consider that it is very necessary for this browser to greatly improve its security system. It would be excellent to be able to download all types of files from any website without running the risk of any threat entering my computer. The last negative thing about this browser is that it currently does not have an automation system when it comes to updating, since this browser sends an alert every time a new version of the browser has been released, but it does not install this updated version automatically. , which causes the user to stop browsing the Internet and update the browser manually, it would be great if this browser updated automatically while I use it every day, that would help a lot to avoid having to waste time updating it.
  • The main negative point about browsers regarding the customization of its interface, the interface is quite small, therefore, some users would undo changing that interface and achieve a much more optimal design, however, this platform offers very Limited to install themes within it, when we are going to install a theme, there are currently very few to install within the browser, therefore, I believe that there should be many more themes that help to customize the interface of the browser. Username. In addition, currently there is no progress bar in the download section, so if you are downloading several files simultaneously, it is very difficult to know the success rate of the file being downloaded, you must watch it carefully to To know how much percentage it takes, it would be excellent to implement a progress bar in the downloads. Also, another negative factor is that currently it is not possible to transfer tabs between devices, even though I am connected to the same Wi-Fi Network within my mobile device and my computer, I cannot transfer tabs between these devices.
  • Opera is a very complete browser when it comes to settings and work tools, but there are also some negative things about this browser, the first negative thing is that the more you install extensions inside it, the user experience will be a bit affected. , since the extensions are quite heavy within this browser and cause it to consume more on the computer. In addition, another of the negative things about this platform is that it lacks a lot of automated updates, every time you need to update this browser, you will have to do it manually, they check for updates but manually, there is no way to activate automated updates. Another of the negative things about this platform and I think it is the most influential negative thing is that it is not possible to modify the general theme of this platform, despite the fact that it has a quite optimal and attractive design for the vast majority of users, the design general cannot be modified, It would be great to be able to modify the layout of each window or the general layout of the interface, but currently it is not possible, it is a platform very limited to the customization of the interface.
  • ° They should improve the rendering of pages that use 3D acceleration. I feel that I cannot use pages with this feature such as Google Earth, it is a clear example because when I browse that page with this browser it simply does not load, or it freezes and advances after several minutes, however it freezes again after a few seconds of use. ° I would like it to have a list of internal certificates like Firefox does, this in order to be able to install operates on older operating systems such as Windows 7 Enterprise. Since if I currently do it with that operating system, most of the websites will simply not load due to the problem of certificates. It is important for me because I have a laptop for work with special software that only supports Windows 7 and sometimes I would like to navigate with Opera and I simply cannot due to certificate problems, having to resort to Firefox for that case. ° Its interface on the desktop is very busy compared to other browsers that has a modern simplicity. This is very overwhelming and takes up screen real estate for navigation so I have to use full screen mode so I can get more viewing and not all those tools that I won't touch at navigation time. It should be more compact and simple like other browsers that are used more frequently today. ° Its app store falls short in relation to the time it has been on the market, unlike Chrome, Firefox or Edge they have a wide variety of applications in their browsers that allows them to have more customization, as well as have more control with regarding what to do with your browsers. ° The VPN is very limited, it is very secure, but it is also very detectable due to the limited addresses it offers, it is useless if you use it a lot in the same place if you want to go incognito and maintain privacy, they could improve by adding more IP addresses so be a paid version.

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.
