Opera implements Messenger and WhatsApp into the browser
Earlier this year, we told you about Opera Neon - an alternative browser that wants "to change the way you use the internet". Now the regular Opera implements one of its best features - pinning messengers in the desktop browser. Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram get their tab in the sidebar and can be used side by side with the main tabs.

Additionally, you can quickly share images to these services by dragging and dropping images on the messenger’s icon.
