I've found Opera to be a bit more demanding on my computer than other web browsers, but the built in VPN is worth it. It turns on and off with one click, and can be configured to automatically turn off when using certain sites (ex. google) to provide local content.

With my Dell Vostro, Opera 53's VPN is really stable and reliable.It turns on and off at My will instantly.I checked accessing many websites with their own trackers, locators and found my IP address really concealed.Since I add an additional security of Not informing sites of my location, the Opera VPN runs like a good engine.Even when sites nag for allowing my PC to give out location data, I stubbornly refuse.For navigation purposes, i avoid using the Google and other Maps on my PC.And as an extra security on my Avast AV, I usually wipe clean my every trace with total cleaners to remove every cookies, autofill info, save passwords offers, dictionary suggested autocomplete helps and such.This method of intensive cleaning and using VPN, slows the browser load time when it has hundreds of Speed Dial Links.A slower loading speed is pretty good against revealed VIP.Above all these, I HOPE that I am still hidden!

I liked Opera until the other day, when I was prompted to download the latest version (53.00) for my Mac. Now I get a box asking me to enter my information in a keychain every time I open it. The trouble is, it refuses to accept the password that I created way back when I first got it, and without the keychain, I have to keep logging into my regular sites because the "remember me" function on their logins no longer works. I'll be looking for another browser soon, this is getting very annoying.
