Opera als Linux-Alternative zu Safari

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Opera GX is a viable replacement for Safari on Linux, though it targets a different audience. It handles standard browsing tasks like HTML5 rendering and JavaScript execution well. The main trade-off is losing Apple ecosystem sync; you cannot sync directly with iCloud. However, if you value privacy controls, extension support, and performance management on low-end hardware, Opera delivers. It is less about tight desktop integration and more about resource control and customization. For users who do not rely on Apple services, it is a solid, feature-rich choice.

Ihre Safari-Dateien öffnen

You can import bookmarks and passwords from other browsers, but direct file compatibility with Safari-specific internal data structures is not supported. If you have exported Safari bookmarks to an HTML file, Opera can import that file. There is no native tool to read Safari's internal database files directly.
