May 2 2017: Opera, the independent browser   with DNA from Norway, has launched  a new Opera desktop browser   variant called Reborn -- the first major browser to integrate social messenger services, allowing users to chat side-by-side as they browse.
While web versions of social messengers have increasingly become popula,  switching between tabs when responding to a message has remained  cumbersome.  With the new browser, Opera allows the messengers to reside within your browser without the need to install any extensions or apps.
The new messenger experience includes: A quick access to web versions of popular messengers - Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp  directly from the browser’s sidebar; simultaneous browsing and chatting with a side tab for messengers; easy photo sharing by dragging any online picture to the messenger’s icon and a menu button that enables you to log out from messengers directly in the browser
Says Krystian Kolondra, Head of Opera browser: “Social messengers completely changed our lives by allowing us to work, discover new things and communicate at the same time. This shift has come with smartphones, but desktops and laptops, while theoretically more powerful multitasking tools, have been left behind. We believe this needs to change.”

At the beginning of 2017, the company released Opera Neon, a concept browser that captured the essence of how browsing might look like in the future. One of its novelties was the ability to seamlessly hop between discovering new content and chatting with friends, or even sharing online discoveries while browsing. Now, this part of Neon has been brought to the “Reborn” Opera browser.
