Opera: Private Web Browser

Private browsing for everyday web use

Opera: Private Web Browser is a mobile web browser for people who want to visit websites, manage tabs and bookmarks, and add privacy controls without relying on separate apps. It is suited to everyday browsing as well as users who want more control over advertising, tracking, and data use. The app is developed by Opera and listed in the Communication category.

Privacy and page controls

Opera brings several browsing tools into one app. Its built-in VPN is intended to add privacy while browsing, while the tracker blocker limits some third-party tracking activity. An integrated ad blocker can reduce advertisements and pop-ups on supported pages, making busy websites easier to read. These controls can be useful for people who prefer to adjust their browsing protection from the browser rather than add separate extensions.
