    One of the best browsers among many

    Date: Sep 10 2022

    Summary: I have enjoyed the benefits that this platform brings in every way, both in performance and security. Just as I have also been able to enjoy quiet browsing thanks to the fact that with this browser I have been able to avoid annoying ads that were shown to me when browsing web pages that are not as well known, all this without the need to install an extension in the browser as others do. make.

    I have definitely kept my passwords safe as their password manager doesn't allow passwords to be accessed very easily and it also alerts me when a site isn't secure when I go to enter a password so Opera gives me randomly generated passwords for be able to have a more secure account. I have avoided entering scams with phishing pages that have been sent to me since Opera is constantly monitoring the sites I visit so I do not have to worry about my security when I am already protected by this browser if I fear that my personal data will be exposed to any cyber attacker.

    Best of all, I can keep all my bookmarks from all devices in one place without needing to import it between devices as it syncs using an account and thus keeping everything more centralized around my privacy and security. Thanks to opera I can maintain safe and worry-free browsing through the Internet and I hope you can correct the negative aspects that I wrote since these aspects are very important to me.

    Positive: ° Its installation is light so it did not take long to finish the installation, its start was fast and its configuration was practically easy because there was not much to configure since everything was practically ready to navigate.

    ° It's cross-platform, I love being able to sync everything regarding history, passwords, bookmarks, etc. It is more practical than going through everything manually between different browsers.

    ° Features some even lighter mode for any platform. In Windows there is Opera GX which I can determine the consumption of the computer's resources. This helps a lot when I work with programs that need to consume a lot of resources, but I want to continue browsing and looking for some information in the browser without overloading my computer. Also, on Android there is Opera Mini, which is one of the lightest browsers that exist in that operating system and is complete. In addition, it works very well on Android 4.4 devices since it does not have certificate problems in Opera Mini, which happens with Chrome when the Android operating system is very old.

    ° It has an ad blocker that helps me enter download sites without having to go through countless websites with deceptive advertising that makes a back door in my computer and fill it with viruses without me noticing. These days you have to navigate carefully because data leakage is rampant and this can pose a personal security hazard.

    ° I like that it has a VPN without having to download an extension, software or something similar to be able to have private browsing. This is very useful when I want to access sites that are not available for my country or I want to have a more secure and incognito navigation when I am surfing the net.

    Negative: ° They should improve the rendering of pages that use 3D acceleration. I feel that I cannot use pages with this feature such as Google Earth, it is a clear example because when I browse that page with this browser it simply does not load, or it freezes and advances after several minutes, however it freezes again after a few seconds of use.

    ° I would like it to have a list of internal certificates like Firefox does, this in order to be able to install operates on older operating systems such as Windows 7 Enterprise. Since if I currently do it with that operating system, most of the websites will simply not load due to the problem of certificates. It is important for me because I have a laptop for work with special software that only supports Windows 7 and sometimes I would like to navigate with Opera and I simply cannot due to certificate problems, having to resort to Firefox for that case.

    ° Its interface on the desktop is very busy compared to other browsers that has a modern simplicity. This is very overwhelming and takes up screen real estate for navigation so I have to use full screen mode so I can get more viewing and not all those tools that I won't touch at navigation time. It should be more compact and simple like other browsers that are used more frequently today.

    ° Its app store falls short in relation to the time it has been on the market, unlike Chrome, Firefox or Edge they have a wide variety of applications in their browsers that allows them to have more customization, as well as have more control with regarding what to do with your browsers.

    ° The VPN is very limited, it is very secure, but it is also very detectable due to the limited addresses it offers, it is useless if you use it a lot in the same place if you want to go incognito and maintain privacy, they could improve by adding more IP addresses so be a paid version.

My general experience with this platform has been perfect since it was implemented within our work area. It is important to highlight that this browser is being used by all areas of our company as a replacement for other browsers that we have used. Its effectiveness when it comes to allowing you to return to various websites is incredible, also the general experience we have had is positive because we have obtained a community when using this software, it is quite comfortable to use it because it has all the options very well organized and the general configuration of the browser is quite simple. It also allows you to install extensions to expand the user experience, allows you to display a reading view for all web pages with just one click, and allows you to delete history and cookies in just a few seconds.

    Positive: The Opera browser is very well structured and helps make browsing the Internet much easier for all users, browsing mobile devices using this browser is quite comfortable and allows me to access various websites without any limits. One of the things I liked best about this browser were the following:

    - Opera has an advertising blocking system, this is one of the most important functions since, as you know, today there are many pages that show if the user's authorization, this browser allows me to block all that annoying advertising, this feature also allows me to block all kinds of popups that come up when entering a specific site. This is one of the most important features for me as it allows you to have a pretty smooth browsing experience without any interruption from ads or pop-ups.

    - This platform has a side section where you can immediately enter the social networks of your choice. This sidebar is accessible from the mobile phone and from the computer, so in any way you can access your social networks and need to write the page within the browser. This sidebar is quite accessible for users and saves a lot of time, I can access social networks like Twitter or Facebook with just one click.

    - This social network allows me to integrate different types of Messenger platforms, in this way to be able to receive all the messages and immediate notifications of the messages at any time. A Messenger integration with the browser allows you to browse and access various websites while receiving messages from your clients or people you know.

    Negative: Since I started using this browser, I have noticed that it is superior in functionality to many other browsers, far outperforming the competition due to its low power consumption and due to the speed with which it is able to open various web pages. During my experience I have not had any type of negative factor and I have not noticed any type of negative feature about this browser, I have had a fairly complete experience which has helped me to carry out all the searches that I want. The browser generally works positively, it does not have any type of fault or bug that directly affects the operation or performance of the user within the computer; its performance has always been positive.

    Really good experience inside private browsing with this browser.

    Date: May 28 2022

    Summary: Browsing and searching various websites has been improved with the help of this browser, it's amazing to be able to browse in complete safety, knowing exactly that they won't be able to track me in any way as private browsing on this browser is amazing. My experience has been quite good, both for me and for all the employees who work in my company, there are around 600 employees using this browser during their workday, they use it to access various web pages, access social networks or view some video on the internet. Its general operation is quite fluid, I have noticed that its consumption within our computers is not high compared to other browsers that consume much more computer capacity. The browser never becomes slow when opening multiple tabs simultaneously, it always works with total agility no matter how many tabs are open. I define my experience as perfect, however, I hope you can add a theme store so I can buy a theme and add it to my browser to make it look more attractive.

    Positive: Opera is considered by me and my employees to be a very comfortable browser to use and with a fairly minimal weight. One of the things that I loved the most about this browser is that its general operation is without advertising, when entering any website I do not have any type of additional advertising for using this browser, I was also delighted that this browser has a excellent synchronization between the version for desktop and the version for mobile devices, on several occasions I have had to transfer the tabs that I have open from my mobile device to my computer and this process has been completely fast with the help of this explorer. In order to perform the tab synchronization function, I need to create an Opera account, it is a fairly simple process and it brings me an excellent benefit for my general operation. Another of the things that I loved about this explorer is that it has a much clearer and cleaner interface, this interface does not have so many configurations nor does it have so many sections, so navigating within it is a fairly simple process, you find all the sections without presenting any confusion. This interface has really made me feel comfortable, I can access the configuration section with just one click, I can also access the history and delete it without having to carry out a complex process, without a doubt the interface that this browser has is one of the best currently. Finally, I must mention that I loved the weight of this browser, when installing it on my computer, the process did not take more than two minutes, the download was in just a few seconds and the installation process was really fast. , the same thing happened from the version for mobile devices, I installed this browser inside my iOS device and the downloads were totally fast, it is a browser that does not have so much weight and that allows searches in private browsing that reduces the risks of tracking.

    Negative: To be honest I have not had any problems during my general operation with this platform, since I started using it everything has been positive within it, I have felt instantly and I have been able to perform various searches without any delay. Browser history section works flawlessly, Extensions settings and Firewall settings work like a charm. As I mentioned before, I have not presented any flaws regarding the general functions of this browser, however, I think that there is one thing that they should implement to make the browser much more complete. During my experience I have not been able to modify the interface of this judge, the interface is quite simple and clean, however I would like to add new colors and a much more attractive design for me, I cannot currently do this, this carrier does not have a store where you can install themes for the browser, this is the only thing that is needed to make this browser much more complete and that my comfort is benefited in a certain way.
