Browser VPN functionality should now be restored for all users. Thank you for your patience as we worked on this issue!

We are aware of an outage of our browser VPN for some users this morning. We are currently investigating the problem and will update as soon as possible.

And in any case, Opera users will always be able to block ads natively - no extensions or additional downloads needed. In fact, we recently unveiled our new and improved ad blocker, with faster speeds, an overhauled engine, and uBlock lists compatibility: blogs.opera.com/news/2026/05/o…

We've been getting some questions regarding the status of Manifest V2 extensions on Opera, uBlock Origin in particular. So we'd like to remind everyone that Opera's position hasn't changed, and support continues for as long as we can. Learn more: blogs.opera.com/news/2025/09/m…

@ismailDavran @opera Hello, thank you for your question! This is not true; Opera does not sell user data. As a Norwegian company, we adhere to the GDPR, the strongest data protection framework in the world. You can find out more information about our privacy practices here: opera.com/secure-private…

@opera It is said that the data of Opera browser users will be sold. Is this true? If it is true, the number of Opera users will decrease significantly. I hope Opera does not make such a mistake. Privacy is very important for users.
