Opera 64 is here – Quick wrap



Opera 64 which has been released comes with a large set of privacy-enhancing features, including an ad blocker & the new tracker blocker. It also claims to be the 1st (& only) browser to offer a free, unlimited no-log VPN.

Here’s a brief explanation on how to use Opera’s privacy features to get the most from your browsing while keeping your data safe:

The tracker blocker can be switch on in the EasySetup menu & in the browser’s settings. Along with Opera’s built-in ad blocker, the tracker blocker will speed up your browsing while also increasing your level of privacy. Once switched on, these two features can be disabled for individual Websites, for example, when a publisher requires that you do so in order to to access their Content.

The tracker blocker relies on the EasyPrivacy Tracking Protection List. Once you switch it on, it works similarly to Opera’s native ad blocker: there’s a list of known tracker scripts, & these disallowed from to protect user privacy.
