Opera — A safe browser for secure web surfing
Opera for computers treats your safety on the web very seriously. Focus on surfing, while our secure browser takes care of your privacy and protects you from suspicious sites that try to steal your password or install viruses or other malware.
Browse with more safety and privacy! 
Easily accessible icons in the combined address and search bar give you important details about the page you are viewing: for example, if your connection is secure or when the page is accessing your location.
Opera's fraud and malware protection will immediately give you a big warning if you try to open a suspicious page that is blacklisted.
To keep you safe, Opera will pre-emptively block insecure active content, like scripts or plug-ins, on secure pages you're viewing.
With private browsing in Opera, you can have all the history, cache and cookies removed from the computer as soon as you close all the private windows - it's especially useful if you browse on a shared computer.
Opera automatically upgrades to the newest version, making sure you don't miss the latest stability and security improvements.
Want to tailor your secure browsing even further? Check the extensions in the Privacy and security category in our add-ons catalog.
What are security certificates? How can you prevent sites from tracking your activity? How does private browsing work? For more information about browsing security in Opera, please visit our Help pages.
