Opera’s got the right idea about private browsing
Opera might not be the most popular browser out there, but the company has come up with a unique feature that other browsers don’t have.

Not to mention that it can help unlock some services that might be restricted in your area. The best part about is that Opera’s VPN is free and unlimited. Of course, you can add free and unlimited VPN browsing to your Chrome browsing experience – here’s how to do it.
