Opera needs to be integrated with an advanced Tor that uses advanced technologies to detect zero-day threats on websites using behavioral analysis and other. The Tor should use machine learning to do this and others below.
The Tor should make sure that connections and all the data flowing in and out of all websites (both HTTPS and HTTP websites) are secure and end-to-end encrypted. If this condition is not met, a pop-up notification should appear, warning the user that his or her information could be leaked to another website. Then the user will have to choose if he or she will want to proceed with the risk. If the user chooses to proceed with the risk, Tor will disable other advanced features preventing the user from visiting the website and will only check if the data flowing in and out of the website is end-to-end encrypted. If this condition is not met, the Tor will give the user a second warning that the data is not secure.
If the Tor is activated, Opera should automatically switch from its default DNS to Comodo DNS, Next DNS, or Quad 9 DNS, if available, to add an extra layer of protection, because these DNS servers are known for anti-malware capabilities. Also, the Tor should also disable unnecessary permissions requested by the website, like a map website requesting for files permission.
Adding this features will really make users to appreciate Opera Browser and their development for taking their time and effort to craft such a superior browser in terms of malware detection and protection from websites.
