Opera for Android introduces a redesigned home page that prioritizes immersive browsing and quick access to tools. The update moves the interface away from crowded layouts to a simpler, more streamlined design. Users gain single-tap entry points to AI Mode and private sessions directly from the new layout.
Redesigned interface adds live football scores and customizable icons to the browser app.
The browser update aims to provide quicker navigation for Android users while maintaining existing features. Opera bundles several visual tweaks into this release, including customizable Speed Dial icons that come in round, square, or squircle shapes. A real-time weather widget now sits alongside these shortcuts for at-a-glance forecasts.
The update includes a built-in football tracker that displays live match information directly within the browser. The feature displays live scores, notifications, statistics, line-ups, and match events without requiring separate applications. The tracker allows users to view live scores and statistics without leaving their current browsing session.
Opera surveyed its user base before rolling out these changes. The company found that 38 percent of respondents plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 through a browser rather than dedicated apps or television broadcasts. The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
Opera released this update to consolidate features within a single application, reducing the need for additional downloads. These additions provide quick access to Speed Dial icons, weather widgets, and live sports data during regular use. The update will be available through official channels for Android users starting in June 2026.
