Yes, Opera browser is safe to use.
Chromium-based browser's that are updated regularly are secure from vulnerabilities.
Opera offers an optional Free tier VPN, and a Pro plan. [Details]
A VPN software isn't necessary for most users.

If you read the links I posted you could answer that question by yourself. Anyway, I personally wouldn't use it, but it might depend on the use case. What are you trying to achieve with the VPN? Do you want additional privacy/security? Or are you trying to bypass geo-restrictions?

Fully agree with @Ink on this, but their " free " VPN ain't a full fledged one and I personal did a small quick test a few months ago.

If you want privacy, then you should definitely look for something else. It might work for unblocking restrictions, but I found the "VPN" to be quite slow.

Isn't Opera browser itself a data collection tool?

I didn't want to scare you off, but I don't think that using Opera is worth it. I'd just use Edge, Firefox or Brave and use the Windscribe Proxy.Okay I'm going to uninstall Opera...
VPN's do almost nothing for your security and privacy, if the site youre on use HTTPS then your connection is already encrypted, and modern tracking methods dont require your IP address to track you.

I wouldn't trust their browser in first place, look for another VPN provider or even better setup your own Wireguard server on a VPS.

I use EDGE (default browser), Firefox (Primary browser), Chrome & Vivaldi...
How can I setup VPS ?

A VPS is a virtual private server you can buy from many hosting companies such as DigitalOcean or Racknerd, you need to have some Linux knowledge in order to secure it (fail2ban, ufw, etc) and setup the Wireguard service.
