Leave a Review Opera
The only browser I found that supports desktop mode!
I have a lot of work that flows better for me if I do it through a desktop website instead of an app, safari claims to offer this feature but it doesn’t work 3/4 of the time for me. After some google work, I found Opera has a good desktop mode.
The only suggestion I would make is that file sharing has more options (for example, more menu options so I have the option to save a PDF to OneDrive or My files.) as there are not any file saving options, except to print the document.Show lessknoppy3
5/5 No issues so far!
I’ve been using this browser for what, a year and a half or so and have been surprised by what I found!
I previously used Opera GX and disliked It because of it being not streamlined and having kind of useless features. I switched to Opera after remembering a friend of mine used it and I loved it! Now I’m continuing to discover more and more small widgets that come with the browser, and the ad block has been so useful! I love this browser and definitely recommend it, definitely a replacement for Google!
I recommend it for any age, because of its easy understanding and streamlined design!Show lessDinosaur1102
Instant Search = app always opens with new tab
After I wrote the review below, I learned that there is a preference to turn this feature off, but it’s called Instant Search, which doesn’t sound anything like what it actually does. I found out via developer feedback to one of the other reviews from users who were just as confused as I was…
original review:
Every single time I open the app, it creates a new tab open to the home screen with the cursor in the address field, even though I browse the same 3-5 websites all the time and have tabs open for them already. To dismiss the new tab, I have to tap Cancel, tap the Tabs icon, swipe to delete the unwanted new tab, and select the one I was already on the last time I used the app.Show lessImarcwwwww
personal news?
i love that theres a news option right when you open the app don’t know if they personalize the news to your google searches etc or if its like google chrome where you can tell it what things you like per example i'm into Kpop so ill type in kpop then a certain group/member or if i'm into music ill type in the artist/band and it will give me news for that type of content instead of general celebrity/music news for people i don’t care about. i’ve been using this app for a week because its been promoted to me lately through pewdiepie and a few other youtubers but idk if i like it like i like chrome.
ill try and update my review again after a month because i wanna give this a full review.Show lessBiirdx
decent
pretty good browser . the sites load faster on slower networks while using mobile. more privacy features would be appreciated and if they could add a "play audio in background" feature, that would be useful. may update review later. overall its probably the fastest mobile browser, its just lacking in settings(in general), and when doing a search "type in address" thebmost common URL i type in shows up all the way at the bottom of search reccomendatuons which is annoying because 99% of the time im just trying to go to the URL(which takes up only one space) instead I see tons of google's search reccomendations when all i want is to go to the URL im begining to type, theres no autocomplete either in this case until youve typed the URL a million times. the opera browser should reccomend and autocomplete the url quicker so i dont have to keep typingr the url i previously visited, over and over and over again.
its a fast browser though, probably because it does a good job at blocking unnessasary ads or something, so overall a decent browser which needs some more featrues on mobile.Show lessfl0rk420
Extremely ergonomic
First and foremost, this is now the only non-adware browser I can find on iOS with a sensible tab view, so that alone makes it the only option for me. Also takes solid steps toward user privacy.
Besides that, this is pretty much the most ergonomic mobile browser right now. There’s a small learning curve, but once you get used to things you’ll pretty much never need to move your thumb above the bottom third of your screen and you’ll just feel more comfortable than you would with any other browser. It’s basically the only workable one for power users now that every other option has adopted the new tab layout.
Definitely missing some features that really should be there (bookmarks without needing to sync being the most notable), but I don’t generally notice, given how I tend to browse on mobile.Show lessChadCasual
It’s okay, I’ve used better browsers.
This seems to be heavily based off Google Chrome iOS browser, so not much to differentiate the Opera iOS browser from it other than the fast-action button at the bottom and some niche crypto wallet-stuff. The one-handed, fast-action button is rather innovative and easy to use, which I like.
I notice webpages tend to load slowly or sometimes not at all such as a Wikihow article I was trying to reload in the Opera iOS mobile browser. I don’t notice these loading issues with Safari iOS or Firefox iOS.
My biggest peeve is that there is no “reader view” like the ones in Mozilla Firefox iOS mobile and Apple Safari iOS to enlarge the micro-sized fonts that are used by websites and displayed nearly-unreadable in this browser.
Also, when you open the app, it automatically opens a new tab instead of opening on the last opened tab. I prefer starting off reading from the last tab I had open. I find it annoying to close a new tab page that I didn’t call for. Even Firefox iOS made a setting to toggle this feature on or off after user feedback. I notice Opera doesn’t seem interested in user feedback as much as Mozilla.Show lessGSpecter7
Opera
I want to say THANK YOU to OPERA!! If u aren’t exactly satisfied with your browsing experience than I urge you to just go to the App Store and download Opera . It’s private so you don’t have to answer a thousand questions when your other half decides to spy on you! It’s fast, it feels like it was made just for you or just for me!!! It’s also not stressful! I feel great when I start and the experience eases my soul instead of making my anxiety worse!! I just love Opera and no one is urging me to say any of this! This is from my heart and I will never go back to chrome or any other browser. I’m loving OPERA and if you want to browse the web without being spied upon or getting outraged at all the advertising and slow speeds, and so on, do what I did and go to OPERA!!! U will love it and trust me I am not easy but OPERA GOT ME !!! Thank you OPERAShow lessKlynn-711
Swift and Elegant
First my browser needs are uncomplicated so will leave others to comment on deeper features. I have recently come to Opera after using Bing forever. I loved Bing with it’s beautiful uncluttered interface. Then Microsoft just suddenly ruined it completely. What a mess. From the start Opera was wonderful. I quickly came to admire the minimalist elegant look in black mode. The home page is easy to customize with whatever you do and don’t want on it. Bookmarks appear as icons on the Home Screen. And as so many say the first thing you notice is that it is FAST. Really pleased with it. Thanks Opera.Show lessamos moss
Solid browser but Popup blocker needs work
Very solid browser. Aesthetically the browser looks great, it’s fast, responsive, very little complaints save 1. The popup blocker needs work on iOS as I’m still getting pop up’s and new tabs opened randomly from webpages with pop ups. In its current state 5e pop up blocker isn’t as good as the various as blockers I’m currently in running on iOS with safari. Until they improve the popup I’m gonna stick with safari and my 3rd party blockers but once it hits the level that safari is at with 3rd party apps I’ll be switching to opera as my main iOS browser and I’ll change this to 5 stars.Show lessGretsnig
