Opera surprises everyone by launching a new version of its Navigatortailor-made for chess players.
Fueled by the quest to constantly reinvent itself, Opera announced on Tuesday September 19 that it had joined forces with the internet server Chess.com, to revolutionize the way chess enthusiasts navigate online. This collaboration resulted in the creation of personalized versions of the browser, on the web and on Android, to provide an immersive gaming experience for users.
Opera, in chess mode
Now, chess enthusiasts can access a wealth of chess-related content, directly from their Opera browser. A Chess.com icon appears in the sidebar of this chess-themed version, which allows you to solve puzzles, play against amateurs from around the world, or simply follow the news while surfing the Web .
It’s pretty easy from the sidebar to switch between puzzles, live streams, and quick matches. The intuitive user interface makes it simple to personalize the table, correspond with opponents and consult educational content, without having to leave the current page. Viewers can even pin the sidebar panel for a seamless multitasking experience.
Opera mobile users can also benefit from a personalized version on their Android smartphone, with a home page full of articles, videos and informative content that will facilitate their immersion and progress. You might also like the themed wallpapers and easy access to Chess TV and the web.
The Opera browser, king of integrating entertaining experiences
This partnership that we did not see coming aims to provide “ a fast and secure browsing experience for all chess enthusiasts, wherever they are “, commented Director of Business Development at Opera, Jumana Patel. On the side of Chess.com, we are convinced that the initiative will make the game of chess even more accessible, practical and fun.
We can say that Opera has a proven track record of integrating technology platforms that users appreciate. The browser has already integrated popular apps such as TikTok, WhatsApp and Instagram into its tool, again via the sidebar for desktop browser regulars.
The publisher has also been avant-garde on the issue of artificial intelligence, by seamlessly integrating several services based on GPT, the OpenAI language model, while launching its own artificial intelligence, called “Aria”, natively embedded in the Opera One browser.

- Very effective Speed Dial and sidebar
- Excellent performance
- Productivity-oriented environment and features
Functional, intuitive, comfortable, with excellent performance and browsing speed, Opera has nothing to envy of the most used consumer Internet browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. Its productivity-oriented features make it a qualified service for everyday, professional and personal tasks. We also appreciate its desire to offer Internet users a stable and secure environment partly supported by its Chromium base as well as its options related to the protection of privacy (VPN, ad blocker, IPFS and WebRTC settings).
