About Opera
Opera is a web technology company best known for its family of mobile and desktop browsers. Founded in the 1990s in Norway, the company has built a portfolio that balances mainstream browsing with specialized experiences—gaming, data‑efficient mobile browsing, curated news and privacy‑focused features. On this site Opera is represented by five apps: Opera, Opera Mini, Opera GX, Opera News, and Local News: Headlines & Alerts.
Opera has been influential in mobile web access and browser feature development. Opera Mini popularized server‑side data compression for low‑bandwidth connections, helping bring web access to phones with limited networks. The company later adopted the Chromium engine for broader web compatibility while continuing to add distinguishing features such as integrated VPN, ad blocking, and configurable workspaces. Opera GX targets gamers with CPU/RAM limiters and gaming‑oriented theming, while Opera News and Local News deliver curated and localised content streams.
Today Opera positions itself as a multi‑app developer focused on making the web accessible and usable across different user needs: casual browsing, constrained data environments, gaming contexts and local news consumption. Support and contact are available through the developer site and the address provided on app pages, reflecting an emphasis on user feedback and continual updates across its suite.
