About this app

Ditch the default and switch to a browser that works as hard as you do. Opera combines high-performance browsing with a built-in VPN, an advanced Ad Blocker, and a cutting-edge AI assistant. Experience a cleaner, faster, and more private web, no extensions required. ✓ Smart Browsing with AI ✓ Built-in Ad Blocker ✓ Free Built-in VPN ✓ Live scores & Sports alerts ✓ Smart Download manager ✓ Data savings mode ✓ Seamless Sync & Flow ✓ Fully Personalized Browser • 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.
