In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to Temoc Weber — Vice President of Business Development at Opera.
The Opera browser serves around 380 million users worldwide and has been running for more than 25 years. Recently, they made it possible for users to access decentralized websites directly from the browser on desktop, Android, or iOS.
We talk to Temoc about why Opera decided to start focusing on crypto, and how the browser now makes it easier to do things like buying CryptoKitties. We go over some of the features being integrated into the browser like chat and music, and how these work.
Temoc explains who is using Opera today and whether he thinks that will change in the future. We also cover the topic of privacy, how Opera ensures safety for its users, and how that will continue as the browser embraces decentralization.
We discuss Opera’s plans for marketing the platform to crypto natives, and how other browsers are likely to change to adapt to decentralized technology in the near future. We finish with Temoc's personal experiences with blockchain and his opinions on the space as a whole.
