Protect Your Privacy: Opera Browser Rolls Out Free VPN for iOS Devices
|Opera, the popular browser, has recently announced the rollout of its new built-in VPN service for iPhone users, making it available on all major platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS. Although the feature was available to some iOS users for early access, Opera has now started rolling out the free VPN service to all iPhone users and expects to make it fully available in the coming weeks.
Jørgen Arnesen, EVP of Mobile at Opera, explained, “Opera has always been known for its unique feature set. We are proud to bring our free built-in VPN to all major platforms and to be the first browser company to do so. Our commitment to providing users with a secure browsing experience has led us to develop this feature over the years. We are excited to bring this vital tool to iOS users to ensure their online safety and privacy.”
According to a press release, Opera’s built-in VPN service prioritizes user privacy, and the company claims that it doesn’t require subscriptions, logging into an account, or additional extensions. Once a user toggles a switch in the main menu, the Opera Browser VPN encrypts the traffic, and the IP address is private.
Furthermore, the company assures that its VPN does not collect any personal data or information related to users’ browsing history or originating network address, ensuring complete anonymity. The app also features a built-in ad blocker and Apple Intelligent Tracking Prevention, which blocks third-party tracking cookies and cookie dialogue.
In addition, Opera Browser for iOS also includes a Bookmarks feature and a new Live Scores function on the browser’s homepage, allowing users to see the scoreboard of the day’s matches.
By offering the new built-in VPN service, Opera Browser for iOS now provides users with complete protection as they browse the internet. The latest version of the Opera Browser for iOS can be downloaded from the App Store.
