Crypto Browser isn’t just a way to view traditional sites with a universal solution. It is specifically designed to interact with various decentralized applications, and provides deeper functionality than a traditional browser with a basic Web Wallet extension,” the company said in a statement.
The browser includes a new non-custodial wallet that lets you directly access cryptocurrency or enter dapps without installing any extensions.
Developers also provided a secure clipboard that guarantees that no apps can alter blockchain addresses or other confidential data.
The new browser features a Crypto Corner hub with the latest crypto-industry news, asset prices, educational content, an events calendar including upcoming airdrops, and other industry information.
On the Crypto Browser’s side panel, Twitter, Telegram and WhatsApp are integrated.
The app supports several blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Celo and Nervos. The developers announced an upcoming integration of Ethereum L2 networks.
As interest in a more decentralized network continues to grow, the company said, it is taking an active role in shaping how access to the internet of the next generation will look and be implemented.
In 2018, the firm unveiled a Web 3.0-ready browser with an Ethereum wallet built in for Android. Six months later, a version for iOS followed.
In 2020, Opera became the first major browser to add support for a decentralized domain thanks to a collaboration with Unstoppable Domains.
