Opera became the world's first major browser to integrate cryptocurrency wallets linked to its desktop browser, Android app, and iOS browser. The wallet is capable of supporting Ethereum, Tron, and Bitcoin. After a successful rollout in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, the service is now available for Opera users in the US, the UK, Switzerland, Australia, Mexico, and New Zealand.

The purchasing function works for Ethereum and Bitcoin transactions. With around 200K active monthly users for its wallet, Opera is a gamechanger in the blockchain industry. Allowing users to top up their digital wallets through their browsers seamlessly is phenomenal.

About Opera

For over 25 years, the Opera browser has been the choice for many internet users as the pioneer of innovative browsing solutions like speed dialing. It was no surprise when the company became the first major browser to integrate a crypto domain extension. Over 350 million people currently use Opera across a wide selection of devices in diverse global locations.

Built-in features like an Adblocker, Free VPN, and Sync data mirror Opera's efforts to provide enjoyable and fast browsing. With the Crypto wallet's addition, users can now make secure cryptocurrency payments and make a confirmation on the browser.

Opera's Crypto Domain Names

By partnering with Unstoppable Domains, Opera makes it possible for its users to secure a .crypto domain. With such domains in place, users can skip typing lengthy IP numbers to easily reach their wallet addresses by creating simplified shorter addresses like geek.crypto.

Also, the browser works with the IPFS protocol, enabling seamless retrieval of your website from a network of decentralized computers instead of regular servers or cloud storage. This is a welcome development for any crypto geek and investor looking for a better online experience.  

Understanding Blockchain Domains

Blockchain domains are a fascinating development in the vibrant crypto industry. Users have control over their domains through private keys making this is an essential feature as no oversight body controls these domains.

These domains provide an excellent substitute for complex cryptocurrency addresses and replace them with names that people can easily identify. A blockchain domain name is simple, with users attaching their names before.crypto.

Differences Between Blockchain Domains and Regular Domains

You might be wondering what differences exist between regular domains and blockchain domains. There are two main distinguishing factors:-

1. Simple names replace crypto-currency addresses

As already highlighted, blockchain domains accommodate easily readable and memorable names. With regular websites, you need to copy-paste addresses multiple times to perform any transaction.

2. Facilitates creating censorship-resistant websites

Online censorship is a real threat to digital freedom and can significantly limit the type of content users in a censored area can access. If you are in a territory facing online censorship, blockchain domains can help you bypass censorship by governments and other bodies.

Advantages of Blockchain Domains

There are various benefits you can expect once you choose a crypto domain.

1.    Simple addresses
Conventional crypto wallets feature about 35 characters, making them hardly memorable. Crypto domain names are much simpler and easy to remember.

2.    Instant cryptocurrency transactions
Thanks to the connection with crypto wallets and browsers, users can make crypto transactions directly through the browser. They do not require Escrow agents to hold funds during transactions.

3.    Complete control over their privacy
Users are in charge of storing their domains. As long as their private keys are safeguarded, users can enjoy better security.

4.    Bypassing internet censorship
Sites can face censorship for many reasons. One factor that makes blockchain domains stand out is because they cannot be censored or blocked, unlike regular domains.

5.    Improved functionality
Crypto domain users enjoy more functionality than regular domain users. They have a huge potential when it comes to interaction and making adjustments.

By Passing Internet Censorship-Concerns

In many instances, censorship is unjustifiable, especially when done to protect evil political regimes. Yet, censorship can be beneficial in exceptional cases like controlling cyberbullying, cyber-homophobia, cyber-racism, and cyber harassment. There is a need to empower individuals to bypass unfair censorship while protecting society's vulnerable members from offensive content.
