Onboarding and start page
Opera Browser opens with a welcome flow, default-browser prompt, personalization choices, search bar, shortcuts, wallpaper options, and news feed cards. Users can choose whether to allow personalized recommendations and advertising measurement during setup.
This onboarding makes the browser feel customizable from the first launch. People who prefer a quieter browser should review each setup choice before accepting personalization options.

Browsing, tabs, and private mode
The browser shows regular tabs, private mode, a tab carousel, start page cards, menu actions, new tab controls, settings, snapshot tools, selection tools, and close-all-tabs options. It also includes visible news categories and shortcuts to popular services.
These controls support daily browsing, quick searches, and tab cleanup. Private mode is useful for local browsing privacy, but it does not replace network-level privacy or careful account handling.

Permissions and default browser behavior
Android settings list camera, location, microphone, nearby devices, notifications, browser app status, appear-on-top, picture-in-picture, install-unknown-apps, storage, mobile data, and default browser selection. These settings influence web features, downloads, media capture, and link handling.
Users should grant sensitive permissions only for trusted websites. Default-browser and install-unknown-apps settings deserve caution because they affect how links and downloaded files behave across the device.
