Fastest browser today **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Krishna P. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Opera?** Opera is the fastest browser available today. It was one of the first open-source browsers with excellent support for computers and mobile phones. The UI and UX are perfect for regular users as there are quick access buttons for the websites you visit the most. You can bookmark websites using the sidebar, view your history, and access messaging platforms like WhatsApp, FB Messenger, IG, Telegram, etc. You can multitask seamlessly on Opera while messaging someone. Opera comes with built-in workspaces similar to having multiple windows of Opera open. You can have multiple workspaces with different tabs in each to multitask and organize your open tabs better. With built-in features like VPN and AdBlock, Opera comes ready to use from the get-go, as you don't have to download the extensions manually. To download more extensions, you can browse the Opera Add-ons page. However, since Opera is based on Chromium, any extension that's compatible with Chrome is also compatible with Opera by default. So, you can also install extensions from the Chrome Webstore, which is convenient as many extensions come exclusive to it. Opera is superior to Chrome and any other browser because it has the benefits of Chromium while also being lightweight. Opera's RAM and CPU usage are barely noticeable, and it has built-in settings to limit data usage. With Opera, you ultimately control your browser's functioning, which is handy if you're on limited data. **What do you dislike about Opera?** Opera lacks the integration advantages that come with Chrome. It also doesn't integrate with Internet Download Manager automatically, so downloads are considerably slower. **What problems is Opera solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Opera in multiple mediums daily. I primarily use Opera for work and business-related internet browsing on my laptop. On my phone, Opera Mini is smooth and flawless compared to Chrome. I can easily sync my internet data across my devices using my account and multitask seamlessly. The sidebar with quick access to messaging applications makes it convenient to communicate with peers while I'm working. I can put my phone away and not miss any messages with WhatsApp one click away on the browser. Even while working on older computers, Opera is the most suitable browser as it's backward compatible with previous versions of the OS. You can download an older version of Opera that matches the device and browse the web more seamlessly than Chrome or Firefox. When we perform tech support and OS installations, we install Opera on the computer for better user experience and intuitiveness. ### 17.

Upgrade to Opera for improved browsing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lakshmi P. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Opera?** Opera is open source and free to use for all devices. It works as an excellent browser for regular use as the newly released Opera GX comes with controls to limit RAM and bandwidth so that the browser is well-optimized for your computer. In general, Opera is pretty fast compared to other browsers available today. It comes with an in-built VPN and Adblock to prevent websites from tracking you, stealing your personal information, and loading ads that slow down your browsing. It has all the necessary settings, such as blocking pop-ups and incognito mode, readily available so that you can start using it from the get-go without any hassle. It allows seamless and quick importing of history, bookmarks, passwords, and other information from any browser to help you retain all your previous data if you're new to Opera or Opera GX. Opera GX is an upgrade from the standard Opera browser with new features such as the GC Control, where you can find which tabs are using the most CPU resources and RAM under the Hot Tab Killer section. You can also use the Network Limiter and RAM Limiter sections to limit the data and memory Opera GX can use, which is incredibly efficient and beneficial for computers with less than 16GB of RAM. If you're on limited internet data, this can also help you preserve a lot of data while downloading or watching media that can drain your data quickly. The GX Cleaner shows a detailed list of the space occupied by browser data such as cache, history, downloads, cookies, etc. so that you can keep track of the hard disk space it occupies and clean them seamlessly without a third-party application. Opera GX comes integrated with Twitch, Facebook Messenger, and a Music Player where you can connect any streaming service to use them on the sidebar while browsing. One of the best features of Opera GX is My Flow, which allows you to connect your desktop to your phone seamlessly for file transfer and sending messages. You can also take snapshots of your browser easily through Opera without the help of any external screenshot software. **What do you dislike about Opera?** I don't dislike anything about Opera GX. The standard Opera browser had some issues with how much RAM it was consuming, but Opera GX combats all of its problems perfectly and makes the overall browsing experience excellent. The GX Control that comes built-in is a perfect addition to make the browser operable on any device. **Recommendations to others considering Opera:** If you're looking for a more stabilized browser with better customizations and controls over resources, Opera GX is the best browser available. It's free and open-source, much like the standard Opera browser. You can also use Opera on many devices such as mobile phones of both Android and iOS operating systems. I recommend Opera GX from the positive experiences I've had with it. **What problems is Opera solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Opera GX as my primary browser as it's perfect in every way. It's an excellent browser for work and related tasks due to its high security and ease of use. I can use it reliably to manage personal and business finances without any worry of data theft or confidential information falling into the wrong hands. The in-built VPN is excellent, with various servers to choose from to maintain online privacy, anonymity, and prevent any malicious websites from tracking your information. Opera GX has an ideal incognito mode that retains all of your extensions, making them usable even when you're browsing privately. The smoothness of Opera GX makes it a perfect browser for using and working on web applications. I use web clients and applications for many different software such as Zoom, Google Workspace, and manage documentation and spreadsheets seamlessly. It comes with an excellent PDF reader with robust readability features, making it a fantastic browser overall for more than just general browsing. Opera GX has broad extension support, similar to Opera. Although Opera GX is also based on Chromium, the browser has a much cleaner UI with improved redesigns to make it compatible with any machine for improved stability and enhanced browsing. ### 40.
