Opera

Security and privacy features

Encryption

Opera supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) version 3, and TLS. Opera offers automatic 256-bit encryption, the highest available security of any Web browser.

Delete private data

Opera can be configured to clear the history and cache when exiting, to protect your privacy. Any kind of private data can easily be erased.

Cookie control

Opera gives you detailed control of what cookies to accept and reject, such as allowing for different set-ups for different servers.

Security bar

Opera displays security information inside the address bar. By clicking on the yellow security bar you get access to more information about the validity of the certificate.

Stay safe with Fraud Protection

Not all Web pages are what they say they are. In Opera 9.5, Fraud Protection is enabled by default, automatically detecting and warning you about fraudulent Web sites. Fraud Protection is powered with phishing information from Netcraft and PhishTank, and Malware protection from Haute Secure. Malware is malicious software hidden throughout the Web.

Extended Validation Certificates

Opera now supports EV Certificates. Issued under stricter criteria, they provide added assurance for EV enabled web sites, that they are who they claim to be.
