It was a very good browser but I had to stop using it because it crashed after some time and I couldn't open it anymore. Afterwards it prevented other apps from opening, like Instagram. The only solution to that is rebooting the phone, but how many more times should I do that? I also had Opera on my PC and one day it crashed for good and couldn't open it again, it said that somehow the file was corrupted. Shame on you. You are not the same as before.
Reviews for Opera: Private Web Browser
First of all, we would like to thank you for this truly amazing browser. However, as a long-time Opera user, I would like to inform you that the website translation feature has some problems. It does not support some languages and does not translate automatically. You have to click the "Translate" button every time. Opera's built-in translator still needs more improvements to become more professional and intelligent in translating websites written in various languages.
It's actually SOOO much better than Chrome and I mean it. I switched from Chrome after using it for more than 6 years or so and the difference between this and that is day and night. Opera runs so smooth, doesn't make my phone an iron box if I had more than 10 tabs open(directed to you google) and lastly the free ad blocker and vpn. I'm so happy I downloaded it and I encourage anyone reading it to do the same. I promise it's worth it
The newest blunder. I got tired and uninstalled it. Then came back like a toxic relationship. So after deciding to ransom the purple icon behind making your poorly programmed app the default, the damn thing doesn't even properly check if it already is, because if it is, it just gives an error every time I try to make it the default from the ransom payment setting to select the icon. Also, YouTube shorts don't work if opened in a background tab. They turn into a non interactive enlarged image.
used to be my daily browser, since the update to opera one and later stopped using it for anything other than occasional use, one reason, NO home button, not a button that will open a new window but a button that will take the window you are in back to a specific page, its been a fundamental part of web browsing from day one, what moron decided that it was not needed!!!!
just uninstalled the app because it is absolute garbage when it comes to downloading anything. Half the time download links don't respond and if they do the opera browser can't download more than one thing at a time without apparently losing its mind. It will stop a small download during the process and just show a question mark on the ETA and then take several minutes to start back and it does this constantly for no reason. Tried different browsers on the same device and never saw this problem.
Now, before I start, I'd like to say I'd actually give it a 4.5 star rating if I had the option, 5 star is a bit generous. Opera is unique. It didn't give me pop-ups at all, and I found the features like the VPN, ad-blocker, and AI very useful. However, I would like more customization options on the mobile version. I'd also like them to try to reduce lag when using the VPN and ad-blocker. As far as mobile browsers go, I'd like to say this is the best, especially if you're the right person for it
The new update has made the mobile view of the browser wonky. The settings for the size of texts no longer works properly like it did before. Now everything is extremely large and zoomed in or entirely too small and hard to read. I opened the browser today, and I swear the people in the next state could read the web page I was on. Going into the settings to try and adjust the size just made everything so small I could barely see the text and images. Why fix what isn't broken?
Much better than Firefox or DuckDuckGo. Smoother and more efficient than Chrome. I was using Chrome for years, then I switched to Opera. It's smooth and fast browsing, with no unnecessary pop up pages or separate link pages that burden Chrome browsing. I tested it side by side with Chrome, using the exact same search and browsing pages on each and found that Opera sorted through the sites and pages much more efficiently. Better bookmark features, easier browser history cleaning, and free VPN.
I don't know if I'm using this browser correctly. I've read through all and every setting and I still get ads on the web pages, in between paragraphs as well as pop up ads that open in new tabs. Everyone is raving about the built in ad blocker but it's the worst browser I've used in recent years. At least FF let's me download blocker extensions to the browser but Opera doesn't. Really disappointed.
