There are many Internet browsers that we can use in these times. And we are not only talking about Chrome, Firefox or Edge , but there are many other interesting alternatives in this regard that we can use, such as Opera.
In this case we refer to one of the proposals of this type that has been between us for a good number of years and that has not stopped growing and evolving. Well, we tell you all this because just a few days ago its developers, Opera Software , released a new version. This, in particular, referred to the most recent version of the firm’s desktop web browser, Opera 68. Well, to say that it is now available for all supported operating systems.
Opera is a web browser with some striking features
As it is easy to imagine, this new version of the software integrates some interesting novelties, in addition to a good number of improvements. But one of the ones that perhaps has most caught the attention of users is the new native support for Instagram on the desktop. This will allow us to make use of our social network account directly from here, without the need to use additional applications.
It is true that the social network focused on photos and videos offers us a powerful Instagram UWP application for Windows 10. At the same time, we can also use the platform from any web browser. For this, it is enough that we access the official website of the social network; not to mention mobile apps. But now we are presented with a new as well as comfortable possibility in this regard.
Therefore, next we are going to show you the way to achieve this that we are talking about, using Instagram directly from Opera . For this we have to make sure that we have the most recent version of the program, Opera 68 or later. Generally these updates will come automatically. Well, once we have the latest version of the software , we can run it in a conventional way.
Access and use your Instagram account easily from here
As with other online platforms in the past, Opera is currently introducing support for Instagram in the browser’s sidebar. Saying that Opera Software launched that sidebar long ago as a way to quickly access browser functions and some web services. Here are some well-known ones such as Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp .
It is easy to imagine that this bar greatly facilitates access to certain platforms, in a much more direct way. This is achieved thanks to the fact that Opera loads the mobile web version of the service in the sidebar so that users can use it from the browser .
So now we will find the new Instagram icon that we can see in the mentioned sidebar, where we have to click. Then we will find ourselves before the interface of the platform, similar to the one we are used to. It is evident that in it we will have to enter the corresponding personal credentials of the Instagram account. Then we will get a login prompt to use the service in Opera.
It is worth mentioning that from here we will have the possibility to review our publications , those of the contacts, read messages, view, comment, or use direct messages , etc.
