Back in July, the Oslo-based web browser firm Opera released a beta version of their mobile browser for Android smartphones that included an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency wallet. Now, Opera is bringing that same cryptocurrency wallet functionality to their desktop wallet.

According to a press release, Opera says that the new desktop web browser – which competes with the likes of Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox, and Apple’s Safari – will be able to connect to the mobile app’s existing cryptocurrency wallet by scanning a QR code.

While the new desktop version will run on PCs, the functionality will still require the user also own and have access to an Android smartphone with the corresponding mobile app installed. Unfortunately for Apple users, no support for iPhone or Macs has been announced at this time.

Opera said the addition of the desktop product was a result of “strong interest” from users and “overwhelmingly positive response” from beta testers of the Android browser with built-in cryptocurrency functionality.

Executive Vice President of Browsers at Opera, Krystian Kolondra, explained the move:

"After making crypto payments smooth and easy on mobile, we wanted the find the perfect solution for PCs. We realized the best way is to utilize our new mobile crypto wallet technology and to give our PC users access to it.”

In addition to storing and sending Ethereum-based cryptocurrency tokens, the wallet also offers a dApp browser so users can play games like the popular CryptoKitties and upcoming Crypto Baseball by MLB.

Last month, the world’s largest Bitcoin miner manufacturer, Bitmain, acquired a controlling stake of Opera for the sum of $50 million.
