Opera Touch: fast new modern web browser for Android

Built for one-thumb use

Opera Touch is a mobile browser engineered so you can operate it comfortably with a single thumb. The interface puts the most-used controls within easy reach, letting you interact without switching hands. That simplicity makes it a natural fit for people who move quickly through their day.

Fast interaction with a single control

A central quick-action control sits within thumb range and gives instant access to key browser functions. Hold and drag this control toward the option you want to open — no wrestling to find tiny icons across the top of the screen.

• Bookmarks and saved pages are reachable in a single motion.
• Open tabs and recently used pages appear instantly from the control.
• Quick search launches a ready-to-type search field and raises the keyboard for immediate input.

You can also activate voice search or scan a QR code straight from the same area.

Instant search — no extra steps

Unlike many mobile browsers that require you to create a new tab and tap the address bar before typing, Opera Touch jumps straight to the search field. Open the app and start typing right away, or slide the quick-access control to the search option and the browser will prepare a new tab with the cursor active and the keyboard visible.

Smooth continuation between phone and desktop

Flow, Opera Touch’s sync feature, makes it easy to continue browsing sessions across devices. Using a barcode scanner in the mobile app, you can quickly pair the browser with the desktop by scanning the QR code shown on your computer. Once linked, web pages, notes, and links can move between phone and desktop without signing in or entering passwords.

Built-in QR and barcode scanner

The built-in scanner isn’t limited to pairing with a desktop browser. It will read QR codes on products or printed material and take you directly to the associated link. No accounts or credentials are required to use this scanner for sharing or accessing pages quickly.

Who benefits most

Opera Touch is ideal for commuters, multitaskers, and anyone who prefers fast, low-friction browsing on a mobile device. By focusing on one-handed operation and streamlined navigation, it reduces friction and saves small but frequent moments of time throughout your day.

Bottom line

If you want a mobile browser that emphasizes speed and single-thumb convenience — plus easy syncing with your desktop and integrated QR functionality — Opera Touch is designed to keep up with a busy lifestyle.
