Opera's browser is back and doing what it does best, which is offering a beautiful and well-designed interface that's different from Google and Apple's browsers. This week, Opera released its browser for iOS to give iPhone users an alternative to the device's default Safari browser.
The application was originally released for the Android operating system in April, and as mentioned during its launch, it changes many things we were used to, specifically this time, for large-screen devices that do not have a home button.
Opera Touch for iOS will appeal to users of the iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and the upcoming iPhone XR, as it is specifically designed and optimized for one-handed use. The browser allows you to open and close tabs, search, and browse from the menu bar at the bottom of the app. The only feature that needs improvement at the moment is the way bookmarks are managed.
The application also supports Opera Flow technology, with which the user can transfer notes, images and links from their mobile to the computer via a secure connection.
Also like the desktop version, the browser comes with an installed ad blocking service, capable of blocking not only annoying (and sometimes dangerous) ads but also cryptojacking scripts.
Finally, Opera's solution is worth a try if you own one of Apple's new devices, which does not have a home button, and are looking for an alternative to the conventional Safari browser.
