Opera browser team has just announced it had launched its “Crypto Browser Project”, with beta versions of the new Opera crypto browser immediately available for PC, Mac & mobile phones, “delivering a new Web experience with Web3 at its core.”
It said on its Website: We originally launched the first web browser with an integrated cryptocurrency wallet and basic Web3 support back in 2018, but today’s beta release of the Crypto Browser Project marks the beginning of a new journey. With today’s step, we are providing our users and the industry with a dedicated Web3 browser, backed by a strong product team and with the aim of accelerating the evolution of the next generation of the Web.
Why The Need For Opera Crypto Browser?
Opera said in its blog post that browsers will continue to play a crucial role in the decentralized Internet. Very few of the Web browsing experiences offered today have been built with the intention of putting Web3 centerstage, & making blockchain technologies understandable & easy to use.
With the Crypto Browser Project, this was set to change, claimed Opera. It said it was also inviting the blockchain community to join this mission.
If we are to take Web3 beyond great ideas, we need to craft products that embrace both crypto enthusiasts who understand the space and those who are only starting and want to explore it. Our belief is that the world of blockchain needs a fully dedicated browsing experience.

The Opera Crypto Browser Project is about more than just surfing traditional Websites through a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s specifically designed to work with a variety of decentralized apps, or dApps, as well as provide deeper functionality than a traditional browser that has a basic Web wallet add-on. This is possible thanks to a wide array of built-in, Web3 focused features, as well as the inherent speed that Chromium already offers the suite of Opera browsers.
