Opera is a web browser that was created by the Norwegian company Opera Software. The application is free from version 8.50, having previously been Shareware or Adware, and only for payment before version 5.0. It is recognized for its speed, security, standards support (especially CSS), small size, internationality, and constant innovation.
Opera is compatible with macOS, Windows, GNU / Linux, Android, and iOS on mobile phones and tablets and in normal versions but also “light” for those looking for a browser that does not consume too much data. It is one of the most used and one of the usual alternatives to Google Chrome.
