Ad blocker

Opera’s ad blocker doesn’t just remove irritations and distractions online. If you’re on a limited data plan, ad blocker can save you a great amount of your mobile data. Slow page loading, even in the best private browser, is often the result of ads and the analytics code that accompanies them, so blocking them has a noticeable result. Most importantly, Opera’s ad blocker also stops the increasing number of malicious ads that can harm both your computer and your data security.

Tracker blocker

The tracker blocker in Opera does exactly that. Block known online trackers like analytic scripts, tracking pixels and other methods of data collection. Like Opera’s ad blocker, the tracker blocker helps pages load faster, saves your mobile data and further protects you from malicious code. Beyond that, tracking protection simply guards your privacy because your personal data should not be given away or used, especially without your consent.

Free VPN

When you use a VPN (virtual private network), you want it to be trustworthy - Opera’s VPN is no-log, which means it doesn’t log or store your browsing data. Your browsing is your business! Connecting to webpages through Opera’s VPN means that the data sent back and forth is encrypted and routed through a remote server. The encryption helps secure your data from prying eyes, while the remote server disguises your IP address and location for more privacy. No extensions are necessary for a safe browser.

Opera’s VPN Pro

Want to protect more than just your browsing traffic? Opera’s premium VPN service, VPN Pro, safeguards your entire system for serious privacy and security online. The no-log VPN Pro never logs or stores your browsing data, making it a safe and trustworthy choice. State-of-the-art encryption helps keep your devices secure - and with over 3,000 VPN servers worldwide, you can browse privately on up to six devices with one subscription.
