What is Opera?
Opera is a versatile web browser that emphasizes innovative technologies while maintaining simplicity, speed, and security. It offers a highly customizable start page called Speed Dial, where users can set their top sites and bookmarks and receive news content recommendations. The browser's sidebar provides access to "workspaces" for easily switching between groups of tabs and popular services like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Telegram Opera boasts a wide range of built-in features, including an ad-blocker, sync, unit converter, battery saver, and a free VPN. It also supports extensions from the Opera Add-ons and Chrome Web Store, allowing for further customization. The Android version retains many of these features and adds a data saver, download manager, text adjustments, a night mode, and a Crypto Wallet For users with limited device capabilities, Opera Mini is a slimmed-down version that compresses web pages by up to 90 on Opera's servers before sending them to the user's phone, reducing data usage, loading time, and processing demands
