It’s good for browsing, watching, and even playing. I first discovered this browser in a video sponsor. I doubted it but then I tried and it was the best app ever!

Users repeatedly report that Opera's core ad-blocking feature fails to function as advertised, with ads and redirects breaking through even when the blocker is enabled. This is compounded by crashes, freezes, and glitches that make the browser unreliable overall. Since ad blocking and VPN are Opera's primary selling points over competing browsers, failures in these features directly undermine the main reason users chose the app.

It's okay, but what I hate most is that whenever I open the app, it always has random websites, that I've never even opened, open as a tab. It happens way too often to be a coincidence because I never use the normal tabs either way. This ne…

It would be great if would stop glitching out. Sometimes when I try to enter a website, it says “website not found” even though it clearly exists and I’ve been to it before. But overall it’s better than if not all browsers available because…

Users download Opera specifically because it advertises an ad blocker, but find that ads continue to appear even after enabling the feature. The frustration is compounded by the fact that many users were drawn to the app through its own ads promoting the ad-blocking capability, making the failure feel like a bait-and-switch. This is the dominant complaint in the cluster, driving many 1-star reviews from users who feel misled.

The ad block does not work I mainly got this because of the ads I kept getting. When I try does not work I’ve tried doing the old fashioned turning it on and off but still it just won’t work

I can’t even get the ad blocker and it keeps on doing this weird thing where it just kicks me off the app One star

Users are drawn to Opera primarily because of its built-in free VPN and ad blocker, which they see as a major differentiator from other browsers. However, a significant subset reports that the VPN frequently fails to connect or disconnects after leaving the app, and the ad blocker sometimes lets ads through — undermining the core value proposition. These reliability issues frustrate users who specifically chose Opera to avoid paying for standalone VPN or ad-blocking services.

The VPN hasn't been working for a while now. I used the browser mainly because of the VPN but that seems to have gone to disuse now
