Cons

“Some websites don’t render properly on Opera compared to other browsers, leading to compatibility issues.”

atul m.

senior software engineer

“The only con I can think of at the moment is you can't use the exact same browser extensions that you used on Chrome.”

Meegan W.

Educator

“It would be better if the VPN that came with it had a UK setting as at the moment makes it appear as if your internet connection is coming from outside the UK which can be a problem when trying to do things like use online banking.”

Andy P.

Director

Cons

“On Chrome, you can add cute themes or tons of useful little extensions, but Safari's store is pretty empty.”

Entela X.

Sales associate

“I also don’t like as safari can only be used on iOS devices.”

Sarah E.

Microbiologist

“Aside that , it is not available on android devices.”
