- Opera
Another ancient browser still getting regular
updates, Opera has gone through a lot of
changes over the years. While it once ran its
own web rendering engine (called Presto), it
transitioned to the Chromium engine years ago
and never looked back.
Opera’s biggest claim to fame is its free built-in
VPN. While not everyone needs such a thing,
it’s probably good to have on public networks
like coffee shops. There are no data limits but
performance can vary widely, so while it may
reduce your vulnerability to snoops on public Wi-Fi
Among Opera’s unique features
is a built-in messaging sidebar
