Opera 88 includes a built-in button that displays advertisements for online stores

Browser Opera has a new button in the sidebar that shows users offers and coupons from online stores. The browser function does not yet work in the Benelux, but it does in Germany.

Opera calls the interface Shopping Corner which, according to the company, contains “the best deals, popular coupons and stores, price comparison, shopping trends and news.” The company does not state whether it makes money from offering the positions in the browser, but that is obvious, because the webshops can earn money from the purchases of users of the browser. Screenshots include logos of companies such as AliExpress, Zalando and eBay.

The company says the feature makes it easier for its users to shop online by collecting information and making it available with a button in the sidebar on the left side of the browser. That button has the icon of a bag. According to the browser builder, the feature does not affect how the browser works in other areas.

It is unknown if Opera’s feature will be released in other countries at a later date. Shopping Center is now in the browser in Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and Poland. It’s unclear why Opera decided to release the feature in those four countries in particular. The shop function is in version 88 of the browser.
