Opera has a big initiative on Web3. In short, this is a Crypto Browser Project, which is now publicly available in beta for Windows, Mac and Android. In this way, the user will be able to count on a new web experience with Web3.
Initially, Opera launched the first web browser with an integrated cryptocurrency wallet and basic Web3 support in 2018. However, the launch of Project Crypto Browser marks the beginning of a new journey.
As of now, the company is providing its users as well as the industry with a dedicated Web3 browser, which has a strong product team. In addition, it aims to accelerate the evolution of the next generation of the Web.

Web3 and the new internet experience
In short, there is no doubt that decentralization has been an increasingly prominent aspect of the internet experience for years. As interest in a more decentralized web continues to grow, Opera has chosen to take an active role in shaping what the next generation of the web will look like and how it will be accessed.
Browsers will continue to play a crucial role in the decentralized internet, and the released beta reflects this. Few of the web browsing experiences offered today were built with the intention of putting Web3 center stage and making blockchain technologies understandable and easy to use.
With the Crypto Browser Project, the company wants to change that and states that:
“If we want to take Web3 beyond big ideas, we need to create products that embrace both cryptocurrency enthusiasts who understand the space and those who are just starting out and want to explore it. Our belief is that the blockchain world needs an experience. dedicated navigation".
More than just browsing traditional websites
In short, the Opera Cryptocurrency Browser Project is more than just browsing traditional websites, via a one-size-fits-all solution. It is designed to work with a variety of decentralized applications, as well as providing deeper functionality than a traditional browser that has a basic web wallet add-on.
All of this is thanks to a wide range of built-in, Web3-focused features, as well as the inherent speed that Chromium already brings to the Opera suite of browsers. For starters, Crypto Corner gives you access to the latest blockchain news, and upcoming airdrops.
In addition, it provides news on a calendar of industry events, NFTs, crypto communities, educational content, podcasts and videos, as well as cryptocurrency prices, fees, and market insight – all in one place.
Native non-custodial crypto wallet
In addition, the browser includes a new non-custodial native crypto wallet, which allows you to access your cryptocurrency or log into dApps directly from the browser without installing any extensions.
In short, this provides additional security as both the browser and the wallet, which will soon be released as open source, were developed by the same trusted teams in Sweden and Poland.
With Crypto Browser you also get a secure clipboard that allows you to copy and paste safely. By securely monitoring, the clipboard ensures that no other apps have modified your wallet address, or other sensitive data.
You'll also enjoy Opera's free, no-logs browser VPN, native ad blocker and tracker blocker, but with the added access to Web3 websites and dApps - right from your browser's address bar!
