Opera has unveiled a new browser based on Web3 and the decentralised internet. The Crypto Browser is currently available in beta for PC, Mac, and Android, with an iOS version on the way. Opera emphasises that its new product is a Web3-specific browser. This includes a built-in non-custodial crypto wallet that allows users to access cryptocurrency and use decentralised apps without the need for an extension. Web3 refers to the third stage of web development. Web3 is named after Web2 and Web1, and it will be more secure than previous versions.

The built-in non-custodial wallet is a significant feature that will enable blockchains such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, Celo, and Nervos right away. It has also announced collaborations with Polygon and other companies. You can buy cryptocurrencies with fiat money, store them in your wallet, send and receive them, and view your wallet balance. It also has a secure clipboard that prevents other programmes from copying or pasting your information.

Web3 is based on cryptocurrency and a decentralised internet. Decentralised applications, also known as DApps, are natively supported by browsers that support Web3. Web3 is also in favour of decentralised money (Defi). Many ordinary web browsers are still unfamiliar with these concepts, which Opera is attempting to address. According to Opera, its new Crypto Browser is part of a larger effort to make blockchain technologies more understandable.

Opera's Web3 browser also includes a Crypto Corner news and data aggregator, which will include important information on crypto headlines, crypto asset values, and gas taxes, as well as crypto events, airdrops, and even podcasts.

The popularity of Web3 is growing, but none of the current online browsing experiences are designed to provide a seamless and secure user experience in the decentralised web. Users will benefit from Opera's Crypto Browser Project, which promises a simpler, faster, and more private Web3 experience. It clarifies a user experience that can be perplexing for non-technical users. Opera believes that for the decentralised web to reach its full potential, Web3 must be simple to use. Opera's new browser is currently in beta, and interested users can download it here.
