From CNET: The Opera desktop browser was reborn with social media capabilities earlier this year, but that apparently wasn't enough.
Today's update adds VR support to the multifaceted browser, letting you stream 360 degree videos to your HTC Vive or Oculus headset, as well as any OpenVR devices. It'll also let you edit screenshots, add emojis and take selfies with your laptop camera.
The feature-packed update comes as Opera plays catch up to Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and the new features are part of the company's plan to rethink and modernize the browser as part of its Reborn project.
While tracking site Statcounter says Opera's market share is just 3.89 percent globally in October, Opera is reporting rosy numbers. It claims to have seen double-digit growth in 2017, with active monthly users increasing by 25 percent year-on-year. The company says use of its desktop browser has grown by 65 percent in the US, 64 percent in France and by 50 percent in the UK.
