Opera, like many of the new browsers, does no longer support Flash natively. So you might be wondering why to bother using it.
Well, in the absence of native support, thanks to its extensive extension library, you would find extensions that plug the Flash gap perfectly.

But that’s not all. Opera has many valuable features like an ad-blocker, integrated social media buttons for WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, smartphone integration, and many more.
The browser even comes with a free, unlimited, built-in VPN service that will protect your privacy from your ISP.
