      Hello,

      A little feedback.

      VPN section:
      The "VPN" is not a VPN, it's a web proxy. Only for web surfing.
      IP's are often blacklisted (you can't do anything about it, although "nothing is impossible"...)
      The action is manual, we must move each time in the VPN settings to add a link in whitelist (why not a small button "disable for this site"?).

      Add-ons section:
      Too few plugins (you can't do anything about it too)
      Some plugins from the chrome store are not suitable for Opera.

      Picture-in-picture add-in:
      Perfect for Youtube. When you go to a less popular site the video is degraded, you notice jolts.

      Adblocker section:
      The adblocker has come into conflict with some websites. Does a team actively work on solving problems encountered by users?

      Somes good news,
      In time project, innovative, "fresh" style, ergonomic. Promising.

      Regards.

        Absolute rubbish !
        The Opera browser with its free VPN and all its many user-friendly features and
        impeccably designed screen formats, is the best browser on the market, including Google Chrome.
        I do not need a reply - there is not one.

        BTW - I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine to supplement Opera VPN,
        no more Google for me.

          Duckduckgo does indeed work fine with VPN mode. And it's logical the VPN allows certain traffic kinds like what's used for browsing.

            @ginger1984 As you know, a majority of people do not use this search engine.

            I use Google for a number of personal reasons.

            Concerning the proxy ("VPN"), that's the disadvantage.
