Online Opera Browser Testing

Browserling offers free online cross-browser testing in the Opera browser. We have installed all Opera versions on our cloud servers and you can access any Opera version on any operating system at any time. Opera is available on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11. To access Opera from Browserling, you don't have to install any additional software as Browserling is powered by HTML5 and JavaScript. Opera runs on real computers and it's not a fake browser simulator or emulator.

We have installed all Opera versions from Opera 10 to Opera 120 (currently the latest version). New Opera versions get released every couple of months and when they do, we install them on our cross-browser testing platform. The next Opera release (Opera 121) is expected in February 2025.

What's the difference between Opera and Opera GX?

Opera GX is a special version of Opera designed for gamers. It includes features like RAM and CPU limiters, gaming-themed designs, and integrations with gaming platforms. Unfortunately, we don't currently support Opera GX in our online browser testing service, but we're working on adding it soon!

Is my data safe when using the online Opera browser?

How often do new Opera versions get released?

Compared to Chrome and Firefox, Opera has a slower release cycle. On average, a new Opera version gets released every 6-8 weeks. Chrome gets released every 4-6 weeks and Firefox has the strictest release schedule of 4 weeks.

Does Opera have its own browser engine?

Opera used to develop its own proprietary browser engine called Presto, but it switched to Chromium in 2013 with the release of Opera 15. Opera 15 is based on Chromium 28 and the subsequent Opera versions are based on newer Chromium versions. For example, Opera 16 is based on Chromium 29, Opera 17 is based on Chromium 30, etc.

When did Opera switch to Chromium?

Opera switched to the Chromium browser engine on July 2, 2013, when Opera 15 was released.

Why did Opera switch to Chromium?

Opera switched to Chromium in 2013 to make development faster and more efficient. Chromium is open-source, so it allows Opera to focus on adding unique features like built-in VPN, ad blockers, and battery-saving modes instead of maintaining its own engine.

Do any other browsers use Chromium?

Yes, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge use Chromium. Additionally, the Brave browser and Yandex browser also use Chromium. We don't have Brave and Yandex browsers on our browser cloud yet but we're looking into adding them as well.

Does Opera support extensions like Chrome?

Yes! Since Opera is based on Chromium, it supports many of the same extensions that Chrome does. You can install them from the Opera Add-ons store or even from the Chrome Web Store using the "Install Chrome Extensions" add-on.

Can I run old plugins in Opera?

Opera no longer supports old NPAPI plugins (like Java and Silverlight). Only modern extensions and Web APIs work. If you need to test old plugins, you might have to use an older Opera version, which you can access through our service.

Is Opera safer than Chrome and Firefox?

Opera has strong security features like a built-in VPN, tracker blocker, and ad blocker. While no browser is completely immune to threats, Opera provides extra privacy tools that help keep your browsing safe.

Does Opera support dark mode?

Yes! Opera has a built-in dark mode. You can enable it by going to Settings - Appearance - Theme and selecting "Dark". This changes the entire UI to a darker theme, making browsing easier on the eyes, especially at night.

Does Opera have a built-in VPN?

Yes! Opera includes a free built-in VPN. You can turn it on in Settings - Privacy & Security - VPN. This helps protect your privacy by masking your IP address, but it's not as powerful as a full standalone VPN service.

Does Opera support WebRTC?

Yes, Opera supports WebRTC, which allows real-time communication like video calls and screen sharing directly in the browser without extra plugins. If you have issues, make sure WebRTC is enabled in opera://settings under Privacy & security.

Can I use Opera without an account?

Yes, you don't need an Opera account to use the browser. However, if you want to sync bookmarks, history, and passwords across devices, you'll need to sign in with an Opera account.

Why does Opera keep logging me out of websites?

This could be due to Opera's privacy settings. If "Clear cookies on exit" is enabled, it will log you out of everything when you close the browser. Check Settings - Privacy & Security - Cookies and Site Data to adjust this setting.

Does Opera have a built-in ad blocker?

Yes! Opera has a free built-in ad blocker that you can enable in Settings - Privacy & Security. It speeds up browsing and blocks most ads, including YouTube ads.

How do I access Opera developer tools?

There are two ways to access Opera developer tools. The first is by clicking the "O" menu under the Opera logo and by going to the developer tools section. The second is by hitting Control+Shift+I.

Can I disable JavaScript in Opera?

Yes, but most modern websites won't work without it. If you still need to disable JavaScript, go to Settings - Privacy & Security - Site Settings - JavaScript and switch it off.

Which Opera versions were skipped and why?

Opera skipped versions 13 and 14. Opera 13 was never released because they were busy working on Opera 14 for mobile devices. Later, when switching to Chromium, they also skipped Opera 14 for desktop and released Opera 15 instead.

Who bought Opera and when?

Opera was bought by a Chinese consortium led by Kunlun Tech in 2016 for around $600 million. Since then, Opera has focused on privacy features, built-in VPNs, and AI-powered browsing tools.

What is an Opera emulator?

An Opera emulator is a program that mimics the Opera browser's behavior without running the actual browser. It tries to replicate how Opera renders web pages, but it's not 100% accurate because it's not using Opera's real rendering engine (currently Chromium). Emulators are useful for quick testing but they'll miss certain Opera-specific quirks.

What is an Opera simulator?

An Opera simulator recreates the Opera browser's interface and basic behavior but doesn't fully replicate its underlying web engine. It's helpful for visual testing, but for true performance and compatibility checks, running the actual Opera browser is essential.

We have a code issue in Opera, can you help us?

Yes, of course! We have been helping people with their cross-browser testing issues for over 10 years and we have every Opera version installed. We have also been blogging about browsers and know all the changes from one Opera version to another Opera version. You can email us at hello@browserling.com and we'll help you with your Opera code issue.

What is the Live Opera API?

Live API is a technology that we created that lets you put a browser in your browser via JavaScript. You can embed Opera in any other browser (for example, Opera in Internet Explorer, or Opera in Chrome) and access an online version that's running in a sandbox.
