Honestly, it depends on what matters most to you. If you like having a bunch of tools built in — like a free VPN, sidebar messengers, and a slick interface — Opera is pretty convenient and user-friendly. But if you care more about privacy and speed, Brave does a great job blocking ads and trackers right out of the box. I’ve tried both, and each has its perks. It really comes down to whether you want more built-in features (Opera) or a more private, lightweight experience (Brave).
