Privacy and security
Extra features to put you in control of your online safety.
Opera
has a free, built-in VPN (virtual private network), which is nice to have on tap, even if it’s arguable whether it’s truly a full VPN. It does allow you to change your apparent location and it does provide extra security when enabled with a click of an icon in the title bar area. It’s nice to have as an integrated freebie, even if the features aren’t on a par with commercial VPNs.
