Chromium, alternative Linux à Opera

Mis à jour le 18 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Chromium is a solid replacement for Opera if you prioritize raw speed and extension compatibility over built-in convenience. It handles the core browsing job well with a fast, multi-process architecture. However, it lacks Opera's integrated VPN and ad blocker, so you must install separate tools to match that experience. If you are comfortable managing extensions and third-party privacy tools, Chromium offers a cleaner, more standard web experience. It is best for users who want a lightweight, open-source browser and do not mind setting up their own privacy stack.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

Both support a wide range of web standards including HTML5 and WebAssembly.
Both allow extensive customization through the Chrome Web Store extension ecosystem.
Both offer hardware acceleration for faster page rendering and media playback.
Both provide regular security updates and a modern, tabbed interface.

Ce qui change

Chromium does not include a built-in VPN, requiring a separate client.
Chromium lacks a native ad blocker, necessitating an extension like uBlock Origin.
Opera has a more opinionated, customizable UI with integrated widgets; Chromium is more minimal.
Chromium is fully open-source, whereas Opera includes proprietary components.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Opera

Chromium can import bookmarks, history, and passwords directly from Opera during initial setup if Opera is installed on the same machine. If migrating from a Windows machine, you will likely need to export these items to HTML or CSV files from Opera first, then import them into Chromium. Direct file sharing of browser profiles is not supported, so manual export/import is the standard method.

Passer de Opera à Chromium, étape par étape

Export bookmarks and history from Opera to an HTML file.
Install Chromium via your package manager or Flathub.
Launch Chromium and use the import wizard to select Opera as the source, or manually import the HTML file.
Install uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store to replace Opera's ad blocker.
Set up a separate VPN client if you relied on Opera's built-in VPN.
