In 2016, Opera, developed in Norway, became a subsidiary of an investment group led by a Chinese consortium.
The company released a gaming-oriented version of the browser, Opera GX, in 2019, and a blockchain-focused Opera Crypto Browser into public beta in January 2022. In April 2023, the company announced a major overhaul to the browser called Opera 100 and code-named "Opera One", adding a new user interface and several AI-related features.
Opera users also have access to Opera News, a news app based on an AI platform.
