Opera

Built-in tools include an ad blocker that can also block cryptocurrency-mining scripts, plus a free VPN with no data cap and three general locations. Opera AI can use open-tab context, generate images, summarize PDFs, and translate or summarize YouTube videos. ChatGPT and Gemini are available from the sidebar, and Opera says its AI tools do not require sign-up. The sidebar also offers WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Messenger, and Telegram, while Music Player supports Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Deezer. Users can set browsing data—including history, cookies, passwords, and autofill data—to clear on exit. Opera browser costs nothing. VPN Pro is separate: plans cost $4 per month billed $48 yearly, $5 per month billed $30 every six months, or $8 per month billed monthly.
Quetta Browser
Quetta Browser is a free Chromium-based browser focused on watching, saving, and managing web video. It is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and as a desktop extension. For supported sources, it detects MP4, WebM, and HLS/M3U8 media and can offer available download qualities. Playback controls include picture-in-picture, background audio, speed changes, captions, and casting, although availability depends on the video, website, device, and operating system. Built-in ad and tracker blocking works for supported patterns, and Quetta describes blocking matching cross-site tracking requests and known fingerprinting scripts on supported pages. Other tools include reader mode, screenshots, PDF saving, and side-by-side translation. Android supports many Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons extensions, with compatibility varying. Windows is beta. Quetta does not bypass DRM or other access controls, so some media cannot be downloaded.
