Opera’s new browser gives you direct access to WhatsApp, Messenger, and Telegram
Found on The Verge on Wednesday, 10 May 2017
Opera may be the underdog of the browser world, but it continues to fight hard, adding interesting new features to try and win over users. The latest addition is a messaging sidebar built directly into the browser interface.
As well as the messaging sidebar, Opera Reborn debuts a redesigned UI, offering animated icons, colorful themes, and a dedicated dark mode.
It looks like it is fighting to die. These features are cruft and only help to bloat up the once lean and fast browser. Selling out to a chinese consortium sure did not benefit Opera; at least there is Vivaldi left.
