Opera launches Reborn 3: The First Desktop Browser ready for Web 3, the Internet of the Future

New Delhi, April 9, 2019: A typical person spends more than six hours each day online. However, the more time we spend online, the more our lives become exposed to the potential threats associated with the Web. With Opera 60 (codenamed Reborn 3), Opera seeks to improve the quality of people’s digital lives through increased privacy and security features, as well as a new design of the browser’s interface. Opera becomes the first major computer browser to include a native Crypto Wallet and Web 3 explorer. The new feature lets people make transactions and interact with the blockchain-based Internet of the future, also known as Web 3. By also providing a free browser VPN, Opera wants to make sure users stay safe and in control of their browsing. “The Web has transformed our lives. We are now continuously online. But, the more time we spend online, the more we need tools that help us control the security and privacy of our digital lives,” said Krystian Kolondra, EVP at Opera, Head of Browsers. “With this major upgrade, we are taking the first step into Web 3, the new Web, where users are in control. We believe every browser in 2019 should be Web 3-ready.” Web 3 is the Web of the future Web 3 is the blockchain-based Internet of the future. Starting today, users can type in the address of a Web 3 application into the address bar of the Opera computer browser and they will be able to explore Web 3. “Blockchain technologies bring the power and control back to the people,” said Krystian Kolondra. “They can securely sign transactions and identify themselves to websites, without unnecessarily oversharing their data.”
