I am very glad that Opera has rid the world of its own web page rendering engine with its own hand, and now it is finally possible to use it. The company has moved to the Google Blink engine on the desktop and in the Android version, and the Safari engine is used on iOS (like all browsers).
The recently released new version of the browser from the Norwegian manufacturer, who has given the world tabs in browsers and much more, is worth it to switch to it for a while or forever. And these are the reasons.
Away from Google
The more you depend on Google for your life, the more painful you will be to bear the failures of this company in the future. They will be there for a long period of time, and you need to be ready for this. And it's no secret that the only reason for the active promotion of their browser at Google is the desire to know everything, everything, everything about your movement on the web. Of course, you can choose Firefox, but lately it is lagging behind everyone else, slowing down in the speed of its work. By the way, you will get almost all chrome features in Opera without Google slavery.
Opera is worth trusting
The Opera employs very intelligent specialists who have repeatedly set the fashion for the development of browsers. Opera today uses Chromium, which solves the page rendering issue. Opera for Android also uses Google's engine, but has a completely different UI. Now the Opera team may not think about the atomic functions of the browser, but devote themselves to developing the convenience and speed of their solution.
Off-road mode
Previously, this mode was called Turbo Mode, which provided data compression on the company's server. This mode was useful not only on slow connections, but also for accessing prohibited sites. Also, the new Off-road mode is good because it encrypts data that goes from sites to your browser and provides the necessary security when traveling and working on open wi-fi access points.
Extensions
Opera can now work with extensions written for Chrome! Also, the browser has its own gallery of extensions, which is very similar in ideology to the Apple App Store - everything that goes there is moderated and carefully checked by the company's employees. So you can be sure of their safety and cleanliness. It is fair to say that not all plugins work due to APIs not implemented by the Opera team, but this will be fixed in the future. They promise …
Synchronizing everything
This feature is about to appear in Blink-Opera. It will allow you to sync bookmarks, history, settings, etc. Opera is available on almost all popular platforms (Windows, OSX, BlackBerry, Android, iOS, Windows, Symbian, and even J2ME), so your data is always up to date.
