Opera Launches its Desktop Browser (Only to Testers for Now)

Reverting to its promise from last month (August), Opera is eventually launching a desktop version of its specialized and distinct browser with a built-in digital currency wallet but only to a chosen class of beta testers.

The browser enables you to manage your funds on the Ethereum (ETH) Blockchain and browse decentralised apps (dApps) on its network. The firm wants Opera Labs, a Cryptocurrency-equipped browser to clearly differentiate it from its chief offering. 

Secure Way to Store Crypto 

While normal users will have to sit back and wait for the formal release, those users with early access can go ahead and pair their desktop wallet with that on the Opera mobile browser for Android. This implies that any moment you need to sign a transaction or a message on ETH, your smartphone gadget will remind you to verify with your own fingerprint. 

Opera reveals that the involved wallet private keys are kept on the "hardware of your smartphone and are in no circumstance transmitted." This is an honestly secure method of keeping Crypto, though there exist improved methods to store your funds more secure than a mobile phone. 

Approved Testers Should Stand Prepared 

Labs apparently supports ETH-based Cryptos and applications. Opera's spokesperson told Coinidol that the firm is absolutely interested in enlarging its Cryptocurrency-features to several other Blockchain technology networks but stopped short of disclosing any additional details. 

Opera told Coinidol that confirmed testers can hope to get invitations to the Labs desktop version any minute from now, but for the rest; you will have to hold your breath for some time.
