Opera is a multi-platform web browser developed by its namesake company Opera.[11][12][13] The current edition of the browser is based on Chromium. Opera is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS (Safari WebKit engine).[14][15] Opera offers two mobile versions, called Opera Mobile[16] and Opera Mini.[17][18]

Opera was released on Monday, April 10, 1995, making it one of the oldest desktop web browsers to exist. It was commercial software for its first ten years and had its own proprietary layout engine, Presto. In 2013, it switched from the Presto engine to Chromium.

In 2019, Opera introduced Opera GX, a browser marketed towards gamers, claiming to have better performance with a built-in ad and tracker blocker and also having a CPU and RAM usage limiter.[19]

In 2025, Opera released Opera Air, a more lightweight version of the browser designed with a focus on mindfulness and user well-being. It integrates standard browsing functionalities with tools aimed at reducing digital stress and enhancing productivity.
