Opera como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Internet Explorer

Actualizado el 18 de octubre de 2026

Nuestra opinión

Opera GX can replace Internet Explorer for users who need a modern browser with good performance controls and integrated messaging. It supports HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, and can import bookmarks and passwords from IE. However, it lacks the specific IE‑only rendering quirks and ActiveX support that some legacy sites rely on. For most everyday browsing and productivity tasks, Opera GX is a solid choice, especially for gamers or users who appreciate its customization and VPN features.

Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Internet Explorer

Opera GX can open standard web pages and HTML files. It does not natively open or edit the proprietary .htm or .htaccess files that were sometimes used with IE. For exporting bookmarks, Opera GX can export to HTML, which can then be imported into other browsers. If you need to work with IE‑specific legacy files, you may need to use a virtual machine or a dedicated legacy browser.

Pasar de Microsoft Internet Explorer a Opera, paso a paso

Export bookmarks from IE to an HTML file via the Import/Export wizard.
Open Opera GX, go to Settings > Browser > Import Bookmarks and Passwords, and select the exported HTML file.
Install the Opera GX extension for password import if needed.
Enable the built‑in VPN or configure your preferred proxy settings.
Test legacy sites in Opera GX’s “Compatibility” mode if available, or use a virtual machine for critical applications.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does Opera GX support legacy sites that require IE-specific behavior?

Opera GX does not emulate IE’s rendering engine or ActiveX controls. For sites that strictly require those features, a virtual machine running an older Windows version with IE or a dedicated legacy browser is recommended.

Can I use Opera GX on Linux to sync my data with my Windows IE bookmarks?

Yes, you can import bookmarks from an exported HTML file. Passwords can be imported via the built‑in password manager, but you may need to export them from IE first using a third‑party tool.

Is Opera GX free?

Opera GX is free to download and use on Linux. It includes a free, independently audited VPN, but some premium features (like certain GX Mods) may require a subscription.
