That Opera has made its way between browsers in silence, slowly becoming one among the best is there for all to see.
What makes it so special, among its many strengths, I'm:
- the incredible website compatibility – manages to open almost all the sites without the slightest problem. At bottom, use the Chromium internet page rendering engine: currently one of the best!
- the opening speed and responsiveness of web pages – it is very fast in all tests. After all, it's like having Google Crome that doesn't spy on you/you spy much less. And these resources can be saved and used for something useful: + speed e – consumption on laptops and mobile phones!
- the password synchronization, favorites and internet experience among all devices connected to the same account – without necessarily having to give them to Google
- the compatibility at the same time of all extensions made on purpose for OPERA and for CHROME – in fact the union of the two largest parks in “mini programs” dedicated to the web of the world, that of CHROME by extension and that of OPERA for freedom of publication! Yup, Google is an excellent censor when trying to go against its interests.
What are opera extensions?
They are small, wonderful, “programmini” that are grafted onto the browser (the program you use to surf the internet) in order to customize it to the fullest. “Programmini” because they are not in all respects real programs (which would therefore be affected by your operating system), but simple lines of code generally written in HTML, JavaScript o CSS. And why they are so important you will say? Because they allow us to surf safely, without advertising intrusive and / or malicious, of add new features, Such as download videos and audio from Youtube and other social media and from to take control OURSELVES of what content is on the Internet.
in conclusion, allow you to switch from simple viewers to protagonists of the web.
There are contraindications? I have to be careful when using extensions?
OF COURSE !! As always in life, every action always has consequences! Extensions are activated as soon as they "detect" the execution of a specific web page (the Youtube extension is activated on those pages, that of MEGA as well and so on), possibly exposing your contents and your navigations to the code of unknown programmers.
And it is therefore only fair that you know that there are programmers and programmers: there is who will use the data your browsing for improve its product, such as in the case of this site. It is monitored to understand how people navigate, how long they spend on my pages, and on which. To give me an idea what my site is for and which aspect to invest in or not. STOP. See HERE.
However, there are also those who could use this data for spy password, register email, bank details or more generally yours sensitive data. believe me, it's not just paranoia!
So pay close attention to the most greedy extensions for the inexperienced user (those to download videos from youtube, advertising blocks do it…). Use the most used or specific ones e if an extension doesn't work or doesn't work well anymore, UNINSTALL IT NOW!!! It affects yours “salute”.
Therefore? What are the best opera extensions and where to find them?
Excellent question! Let's start by saying that the answer is necessarily objective and that it all depends on your needs.
Being my interests rather 360 °… I list what I think they are the best Opera extensions, the ones I use daily basis. You just have to experiment with others!
