Browsing the internet should not be a chore, with many browsers minimalizing their layout, perhaps the one thing they neglect to change is the way people use browsers. Most of the time, we are using our phone with one hand, so Opera has released Opera Touch mobile browser.
This new mobile browser which Opera has claimed is instantly ready to find things on the web, has different ways to search for things. You could either type your search into the browser or use your voice to search and there is even the option to use the QR code scanner to search for a site. The main feature, as mentioned, is the one-handed use, there is a Fast Action button that is always on the screen. Tapping on it will bring you back to your Home screen, but if you tap and drag up, you will get options like switching between tabs, closing tabs, refreshing the page or send it to your Flow. Flow is also a new feature that is on the desktop version of Opera, this feature allows you to sync your phone and your browser. You can also send notes, videos and pages between your phone and computer.
Opera has mentioned that Flow is fully end-to-end encrypted and features their cryptojacking protection. Lastly, there is also an inbuilt ad blocker which is disabled. When enabled, it will block ads and make pages load faster. As of now, the app is only available on Android and there is no information on an iOS release.
