Opera Browser 126.0.5750.37 Final

Download Opera Browser and get instant access to privacy tools that other browsers require paid extensions to match.

The built-in VPN encrypts your connection and masks your IP address - no subscription required.

Combined with the native ad blocker and tracker protection, Opera delivers a cleaner, faster browsing experience out of the box.

Built-In Privacy and Security Features

Opera's free VPN sets it apart from mainstream alternatives like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

While other browsers require third-party VPN extensions or subscriptions, Opera provides unlimited VPN bandwidth at zero cost.

The VPN activates with a single click and works across all browser tabs.

The integrated ad blocker eliminates intrusive advertisements and tracking scripts before they load, resulting in faster page rendering and reduced data consumption.

Users who prefer even stronger privacy protection might consider pairing Opera with dedicated VPN software like Proton VPN for system-wide encryption.

Aria AI Assistant - Your Browsing Companion

Opera includes Aria, an AI-powered assistant that integrates directly into your browsing workflow.

Ask questions, generate content, summarize web pages, or get coding help without switching tabs or opening external tools. Aria combines multiple AI models to deliver accurate, contextual responses.

For users who want dedicated AI tools alongside their browser, ChatGPT Atlas provides a desktop client experience, while mobile users can download DeepSeek or Grok for AI assistance on Android devices.

Flow - Seamless Device Synchronization

Opera Flow creates an instant connection between your desktop browser and mobile devices.

Share files, links, notes, and media between devices without email or cloud storage accounts. Simply scan a QR code to establish the connection and start transferring content instantly.

This feature makes Opera particularly useful for users who frequently move between desktop and mobile workflows. Capture content on your phone during commute and access it immediately on your desktop when you arrive at work.

Workspaces and Tab Management

Power users appreciate Opera's Workspaces feature, which organizes tabs into separate groups for different projects or contexts. K

eep work tabs isolated from personal browsing, maintain research sessions without cluttering your main window, and switch between contexts instantly.

The sidebar provides quick access to messaging services including Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Discord without opening new tabs. Stay connected while browsing without the distraction of separate application windows.

Gaming Features with Opera GX

Gamers should consider Opera GX, Opera's gaming-focused browser variant. Opera GX includes CPU, RAM, and network bandwidth limiters that prevent the browser from consuming system resources needed for gaming.

The GX Corner provides gaming news, release calendars, and deal alerts.

Both Opera Browser and Opera GX share the same core technology, but GX adds gaming-specific customization options including custom themes, sound effects, and RGB lighting integration.

Media Playback and Download Capabilities

Opera handles modern video formats natively, supporting MP4, WebM, and streaming protocols without additional codecs. For users who need broader format support, VLC Media Player plays virtually any audio or video file.

Users who want to save online videos for offline viewing can use yt-dlp to download content from YouTube and hundreds of other platforms. For a graphical interface, YTDLP-Interface provides an easy-to-use download manager.

How Opera Compares to Other Browsers

Opera offers the most built-in features of any major browser. Unlike Google Chrome which requires extensions for VPN and ad blocking, Opera includes these tools natively. Compared to Brave Browser which focuses primarily on privacy, Opera adds AI integration and device synchronization features.

Privacy-focused users might prefer Tor Browser for anonymous browsing or Vivaldi Browser for extensive customization options. Firefox users seeking similar customization can try Floorp Browser, which adds advanced UI modifications to the Firefox foundation.

For AI-centric browsing, Arc Browser and Comet Browser offer deep AI integration with productivity features, though Opera's Aria provides comparable AI assistance within a more traditional browser interface.
