14 DAY TRIAL // There are plenty of browsers currently available on iPhones, and Opera is one of the biggest names promising a rather unique experience for Apple users.
The latest update introduces one big change: Opera Touch becomes Opera Browser, with the name change also coming alongside a series of improvements for the visual experience.
“The most noticeable changes will be in the revamped UI aspects of the browser, like new colours being introduced. If you use Opera on your iOS device, you will also notice the purple logo on the home screen changing to red. Other visual changes will be happening in the background animations of the main UI as we introduce a cleaner and smoother design for a more refined look and feel,” the Opera team explained in a press release.
On the other hand, the feature lineup will remain the same, so if you’re an Opera user on iOS, nothing will change in this regard.
Opera for iPhone just getting better
If anything, Opera is getting even better, and Opera emphasizes that you can connect with the browser on any platform. The dev team has integrated a QR code-based system that makes it possible to pair iPhones and computers, with Flow links to then work as smoothly as they get.
“Rest assured though, that none of the changes will affect your favourite features and functionality. The browser is keeping its iconic and popular speed dial bubbles on the main screen, for example. These speed dials, inspired by our concept browser Opera Neon, show your most visited websites so you always have them easily accessible,” the parent company explains.
Opera says there are many reasons why iPhone owners install this browser, including not only the feature lineup, but also tools like protection against cryptocurrency mining, a Crypto Wallet, and the aforementioned Flow that makes it possible to share links between PCs and mobile devices in a matter of seconds, all using a simple pairing process.
