New Opera Browser Integrates Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram Into Sidebar [Video]

Opera has released a new browser codenamed 'Reborn' that integrates popular social messengers.

Over the last few years, web versions of social messengers have increasingly become popular. However, switching between tabs when responding to a message has been cumbersome and inefficient, until now. With the new browser, Opera allows the messengers to reside within your browser without the need to install any extensions or apps.

“Social messengers completely changed our lives by allowing us to work, discover new things and communicate at the same time,” says Krystian Kolondra, Head of Opera browser. “This shift has come with smartphones, but desktops and laptops, while theoretically more powerful multitasking tools, have been left behind. We believe this needs to change.”




Now, Opera allows users to chat with their friends while browsing. The new messenger experience includes:
● A quick access to web versions of popular messengers - Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Telegram - directly from the browser’s sidebar
● Simultaneous browsing and chatting with a side tab for messengers
● An option to pin the messenger tab for even easier multitasking
● Easy photo sharing by dragging any online picture to the messenger’s icon
● Shortcuts allowing users to instantly switch between messengers
● A menu button that enables you to log out from messengers directly in the browser

Reborn is incrementally redesigning the entirety of Opera’s user experience. In this release, in addition to the new messenger experience, it brings a fresh look, new icons, colors, wallpapers and a touch of animation.


The new interface includes:
● Brand new look and feel with a high-quality graphical design that is more consistent across platforms
● Simplified, lighter and more elegant tabs
● Fresh and refined icons
● The new, more subtle and refined sidebar with a touch of animation
● Refreshed Speed Dial
● Introducing a dark theme for the browser
● A set of new backgrounds that perfectly complement Opera’s new look and feel
● Private mode animations
