Opera: Private Web Browser

Our take

Opera keeps stuffing more into the browser shell, VPN, ad blocking, AI chat, image generation, and somehow the core browsing still holds up. Worth checking whether the free VPN has real limits before relying on it for anything serious, but as a daily driver this earns its install count.
