Another browser service, Crypto Corner, allows access to the latest cryptocurrency news, asset prices, commission amounts, market situation, and upcoming events.

Opera is one of the oldest web browsers, operating since 1995. In July 2018, the company launched the first browser with an integrated Ethereum wallet and basic support for Web3 technologies.
