Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Opera and what they use it for.
  • Can anyone tell what is this?
    This is not opera.com it's "api2 dot com" so it's a malware site posing as an opera one by including opera in its name. I had a popup like this. It opened every time I opened the browser. Turned out it was coming from a video downloader extension. Source: 10 months ago
  • Is there a way to download the official browser through a torrent or a mirror link?
    The opera.com domain is banned where I live but I still want to download the browser without a VPN (because those are also banned). Is there a torrent link or an alternative/mirror link where I can download the latest Opera One release? Thanks! Source: 10 months ago
  • Opera Adblocker pinging opera.com?
    Apparently it "urgently needed to be removed off the network" (bullshit, you could've blocked opera.com, dumbass) I don't see why its so bad to have one kid with an unmanaged browser, like seeing "your browser is managed by your organisation" sucks enough. They disabled basically everything good about Chrome, for a time, they locked down the performance tab so we couldn't even use battery saver. Source: 11 months ago
  • Opera Adblocker pinging opera.com?
    One day, I got called to my Deputy Principal's (Dep. For short) office because my laptop was doing wacky shit to the network. He informs me that my laptop had sent 64k pings to opera.com. It was about the 2nd term, we receive new laptops every couple of years. He first told me about my searches for a VPN, which I guess is on me. But when he brings up the 64k pings, he tells me whatever the app is doing it has to... Source: 11 months ago
  • How big is the chance of getting malware while downloading roms?
    I use uBlock Origin on Chrome but it is available for Opera GX as well. You install it by finding uBlock Origin in addons section of opera.com and then clicking the "Add to Opera" button. Source: 12 months ago
  • YouTube India is getting out of control with ads.
    Use Brave or Opera browsers, they have inbuild ad blockers. Source: 12 months ago
  • Opera GX not connecting to most Opera.com sites
    At first the browser worked fine, but after a few days it wouldn't work with it's own sites, such as addons.opera.com or just plain old opera.com. Source: 12 months ago
  • Opera GX is at the top of the search results when you search for FireFox
    Happened to me as well, And the funny thing is that in my country opera.com is actually banned. We need to use VPN in order to access it. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Opera website offline? and 0xc0000022 error
    I tried to reinstall, but the website seems to be down. All attempts to get to opera.com yield a "403 Forbidden" error. Using the installer.exe file in the program folder did not work. Source: over 1 year ago
  • kinda confused right now.
    What's more is that if you visit opera.com you will find a lot of documents - I repeat: this is a publicly traded company - that will make you perfectly clear who Opera is. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Unable to download - 403 Forbidden (MacOS, Chrome)
    Most pages with 'opera.com' are coming back with 403 Forbidden. The download page curiously isn't - but actually trying to download causes the same 403 Forbidden hard stop. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is Opera GX using more memory than Edge?
    Opera GX is overloaded with features, which take more RAM. Use the regular Opera for more lightweight experience. Or Otter Browser for even less RAM. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Been wondering about this for a while... anyone got any answers?
    So for 100th time. opera.com or opera.com/gx nothing else. Source: over 2 years ago
  • I've been using Chrome for 10+ yrs. Never had security problems that wasn't directly linked to my mistakes. Tested OperaGX for about a Month. Coincidentally that month i had some strange security problems. Anyone else had it? Details on post.
    Yeah, so. LEt's go one b y one. Yeah Opera INstaller from the opera.com. Official site. Didn't use the VPN. Source: over 2 years ago

  • How do I install the latest update on PC?
    Just noticed that there`s a new update for Opera GX on PC, but when I click the Install update button in the sub-menu that`s in the top left corner of the screen I just get redirected to https://www.opera.com/ru/gx , which is basically just a section of opera.com dedicated specifically to Opera GX. Source: over 2 years ago

6 Best Browser Alternatives to Google Chrome
Because it is built on Chromium, Opera supports Chrome extensions, so the transition away from Google should be a smooth one. I particularly love Opera’s battery saver feature, which promises to improve battery life by up to 35%. When it comes to the user experience, Opera is a pretty straightforward browser with a clean user interface featuring a handy sidebar and some nifty mouse gestures.

Opera also features a built-in “Stash” for saving pages to read later. There’s no need to sign up for a Pocket or Evernote account to save a page for later reading. Similarly, Opera features a speed-dial menu that puts all your most frequently visited pages in one place. Google Chrome also does this, but only on a blank new tab. Finally, Opera has a built-in unlimited VPN service, making it a more secure browser...

4 Browsers That Might Break Your Chrome Addiction
What You'll Miss: Honestly, not much. Opera is built on Blink, as Vivaldi and Chrome are, so you can expect similar performance. In fact, if anything the biggest knock against Opera may be that beyond its privacy and security bona fides, it doesn't offer enough differentiation from Chrome to be worth the jump.
