Opera One Adds Discord, Slack, and Bluesky to Browser Sidebar

[MacRumors]

Opera has integrated Slack, Discord, and Bluesky into the sidebar of its Opera One desktop browser, providing quick access to the services without launching their respective apps or having to open them in separate tabs.

The services join existing integrations for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram. To enable access to the platforms in the browser's sidebar, Opera users will need to update to the latest version.

After that, click the three dots menu at the bottom of the sidebar to open the Sidebar Setup Menu. Discord, Slack, and Bluesky can be found under the Messengers category.

Opera One uses a modular design designed to adapt to the user's needs. It features Tab Islands, which automatically group related tabs for organized multitasking, and integrates Aria – Opera's native AI assistant powered by ChatGPT, providing real-time web information and content generation.

Opera One also includes a built-in ad blocker, free VPN, and customizable dynamic themes with immersive animations and soundscapes. The latest Opera One update adds two new themes: Interstellar and Metamorphic. You can download the latest version from the Opera website.

Why does everybody always want to turn a browser into some god-like app?

Nice ad

On my company laptop (Windows) I've switched from Chrome to Opera and was quite happy. Because the mobile app on my iphone was not so good and there is a lot of ********* about Opera being from China, I switched to Vivaldi. I must admit I still miss Opera sometimes.

But not for Opera Air? This lack of feature parity is sickening!

How many Opera browsers are there?

Opera has bundled stuff in as long as I can remember. I used to use Opera in the mid to late 2000’s and it had stuff like a built in torrent client

What is blue sky

It started as a small independent team of open source architects, engineers, and designers developing an open and decentralized standard for social media. It was funded by Twitter and the goal was for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard. After Musk, they obviously parted ways. Now, many users are migrating there after the changes in Twitter/X and to avoid supporting Musk.

On a clear day, go outside and look up. That's what a blue sky is.

To be fair, browsers these days are for many people almost the only app they use on computers. There’s a reason chromebooks exist.

Decentralized Twitter basically, no *******s and it lets you control your own feed. 32 m users

Bluesky

Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.

What is blue sky

Bluesky is a social media app not controlled by Musk or Zuckerberg, which makes it the only one worth being on, as far as I'm concerned.

With the BlueSky integration this should make tens of people incredibly happy.

What's the difference between Opera Browser, Opera GX, Opera Air, and this Opera One?

 

[svish]

Looks convenient but don't think this is needed. Also I use Safari as my primary browser. Will give this one a try.
