Opera’s new browser lets you chat on WhatsApp when you work

If you get FOMO from being away from Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, Opera’s new update will please you very much.

Opera now introduced a new browser that integrates messaging apps to its sidebar. Codenamed Reborn, the browser lets you chat with friends over Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Telegram on a side window when you work on the main browser. Other apps such as Viber and WeChat are not yet complicated in the support, although the company tells CNET it is employed to make them available soon.

Opera is way Slow Google Chrome and Apple’s Safari in terms of userbase, but has worked on bringing nifty features to its browser. Last year, the company introduced an integrated ad-blocking fea ture and built-in currency converter that grants online shoppers to see converted rates simply by highlighting the tag of a product or service.

You can chat, Part photos and sign out of a messaging app on the browser.

In the new browser, you can pin supported messaging apps to the sidebar as shortcuts. That means no more having to toggle between tabs or windows, even if WhatsApp is always just an Alt+Tab away (or in my case, Alt+Tab, Tab, Tab). You can also share photos online as well as sign out of the messaging apps conventional from the browser.

“Using WhatsApp on Opera is precisely the same as using the web service,” said Krystian Kolondra, Opera’s Executive Vice President of Desktop on potential privacy anxieties. “Like other browsers and websites, Opera does not have access to any question shared or transmitted via this service.”
