February 27th, 2024

Check out our Android and iOS browsers now

Hey readers,

So you broke with the default and chose Opera as your go-to desktop browser. You love the trademark blend of speed, security, and customization that makes Opera the only portal to the web for you. But you don’t yet use Opera on your phone.

Well, why not? All of those same great features that you know and love – and plenty more besides – are available on Opera for Android and Opera for iOS. Plus, your Opera account allows you to enjoy a seamless and unified browsing experience when using services like My Flow.

Let’s dive in and unpack some of what our mobile browsers have to offer – and why Opera is the perfect choice for you – both on desktop and mobile.

You know and love Opera’s ad blocker because it saves you from having to click away unwanted advertisements while also protecting you from potentially malicious code. Well, did you know that it’s also seamlessly integrated into Opera’s flagship mobile platforms? And not just that, but a built-in cookie dialog blocker as well? So say goodbye to all those annoying ads and intrusive cookie dialog pop-ups – experience ad-free mobile browsing, all while saving on your precious mobile data.

Stay safe online with a free, built-in VPN

So you care about your privacy. Great, we do too! That’s why Opera offers a free, built-in VPN on all its platforms – including Opera Android and iOS. Our free VPN service doesn’t require a subscription, any additional extensions, and you don’t even need to log into an account – all you have to do is to flip a switch in the main menu to browse in peace, since we make sure that VPN traffic is encrypted and your IP address remains private. A no-log service, our VPN doesn’t collect any personal data or information related to your browsing history or originating network address. So, with your anonymity ensured, you can access fast and secure virtual locations around the world.

Opera for Android additionally features our VPN Pro, offering device-wide protection for up to six Android and desktop devices with just one subscription. With access to over 3,000 private servers in over 30 countries, the speedy VPN Pro allows you to stream videos, download files and browse privately while enjoying serious privacy and security.
