Opera is the 6th most popular browser in the world that is used by 2% of all internet users. Lots of people prefer Opera to Safari, Chrome, or Firefox for a variety of reasons. You may have downloaded it too and started to use it, perhaps to try it out for yourself because you’ve heard good things about it, or someone has recommended it to you. If you have installed it and no longer use it, or you’re having problems with it, you may want to uninstall it. However, just dragging the Opera app to the Trash won’t uninstall it completely, you’ll need to remove the other files it has placed on your Mac. Here’s how to do that.

How to remove Opera from your Mac

First, you’ll need to quit Opera if it’s running, and then quit any processes that may still be running.

1. Go to Applications > Utilities and double-click Activity Monitor to launch it.
2. Look for any processes with Opera in the name.
3. If you find any, click on them and them press the Quit Process button in the toolbar.
4. Once you’ve quit all the Opera process, quit Activity Monitor.

Now, go to your Applications folder and drag the Opera app to the Trash and empty it. Once you’ve done that, you need to remove the other files it has placed on your startup drive

1. In the Finder, click on the Go menu and choose “Go to Folder” then type the following into the text box: ~/Library/Caches
2. Look for this folder: com.operasoftware.Opera
3. When you find it, drag it to the Trash and empty it.

An easier way to uninstall Opera

If all that seems like a lot of work, there is a simpler way to uninstall Opera — use a dedicated uninstaller, like the one in CleanMyMac X. Here’s how it works:

1. Download and install CleanMyMac X (free version is available).
2. Launch it from your Applications folder.
3. Choose the Uninstaller utility.
4. Locate Opera in the list of apps and check the circle next to it.
5. Press Uninstall.

When you press Uninstall, the Opera application and all the files it has installed on your Mac will be removed and you won’t have to remove them manually.

How to reset Opera on Mac

There is an alternative to uninstalling Opera you should consider if your reason for removing it is that it’s causing problems on your Mac. You could try resetting it first. Resetting an app removes some if its settings and preferences files but leaves the app intact. The next time you launch it, it behaves as if you had just launched it for the first time after downloading it. That may solve performance issues. To reset an app in CleanMyMac X, do this:

1. Follow steps 1-4 above in the uninstall instructions.
2. Instead of pressing the Uninstall button, click on the dropdown menu to the right of the app’s name, where it currently says Uninstall.
3. Choose Reset.
4. You’ll see that the Uninstall button has changed to Reset. Press it.
5. Opera will now be reset.

If that doesn’t help improve performance, you can always go back and uninstall it.

Separately from uninstalling or resetting Opera, you can also remove any files that collect private data, such as cookies and cache files. You can do this in the browser itself, using its Preferences, in the Finder, or, easiest of all in CleanMyMac X. To do that, you should choose the Privacy tool in the Protection section of the CleanMyMac X sidebar.

Opera is much-used browse that is based on Google’s Chromium framework. The Opera states that their browser is less taxing on the processor compared to other options. If you’re one of those people but have now decided you don’t want to use it, it’s a good idea to uninstall it. You can do that manually — though you should remember to move every file it installs to the Trash. Or you can do it quickly using the super-easy uninstaller tool CleanMyMac X. If your reason for uninstalling it is that it slows your Mac down, you may want to try resetting it, which you can also do in CleanMyMac X.

Opera For Mac Review

The best that there is! It's that simple: rendering is perfect in most cases (in the instances where it's not, the page's coding is usually at fault...), the interface is now totally Mac-like, speed is on par (if not better) with the competition, and the user-interface is completely customizable.
What more can you expect from a Web browser...?
How do you say 'Thumbs up' in Norwegian...?

Installed this latest pre-alpha, and I'm still not satisfied with some minor annoyances in terms of GUI and browsing customization. Speed is there, though, as is better rendering on all Ajax and Javascript pages, where frames are better defined. No more text overlaps on some sites I visit on a daily basis, but still, some functionalities are absent or not easily customizable, like single-key shortcuts, for example. You can check the appropriate box in Preferences, and they still won't work.
I hope the next release will be more 'finished' (I know, it's a bad pun when talking about a Norwegian browser...)!

Downloaded and installed twice, the program crashes upon launch and continues in an endless cycle prompting me to send an error report. The only way to quit the program is to force quit.
Pre-alpha is correct. I will update my review when I am actually able to run the program.

Whrers landed Carakan ? I want speed, which is Opera now lacking, because is faster only in IE now...
not only unuseful for me gadgets like Turbo & Unite...

The best browser on Mac for years. This is very very stable to be an Alpha...

Besides performance being slower than the other browsers on a Mac, the UI is awful. Opera use to be a really good browser but it really blows on a Mac.

Hello betanews 9.6 beta is out for mac and linux get ur stuff togetter on mac and linx software allready or people might have to look somewhere else.

Overall, the best browser.

If you haven't tried Opera in the last few months, it'a awesome. New, cool, skin, full-text history search better than any other browser (not just domain & title, but the FULL TEXT of the web page). Try it.
Note the screenshot is from v7.50, not v9.5x...BN should update it.

you don't even own a mac improvelence so stop your spamming

Not even as good as Safari...and that is truly sad.

Awesome opera, but this particular beta only gets a 3 because even with a fresh install, it doesn't solve the issues I've had when replying to messages in hotmail.

Opera Mac Os

Basically the same as Windows version but Opera for Mac doesn't have Voice feature :(
