Opera
Chrome and Firefox rival
Opera with a capital letter typically refers to the web browser developed by a Norwegian company, known for features like built-in VPN and ad blocking: I switched to Opera for the speed.
It may also appear as part of proper names for opera houses and companies: the Vienna State Opera. (Lowercase opera is the musical art form.)
