Opera for Android 59 Takes a Leap Forward in Online Payments

[upnorth]

Quote : " As shopping moves more and more online, the need for simple, standardized solutions grows. One example of emerging standards is the W3C Payment Request API. The aim of this API is to provide a simple way for sites to get quick access to customer data such as addresses, contact information and payment details, relieving the user from entering the same data over and over again for every e-commerce site. While there is not yet widespread adoption of the Payment Request API, we are doing our part to lay the foundation for it by introducing full support with this version.

Recently we introduced the ability to open certain sites in their dedicated apps. We have further refined the implementation in this version to make it easier to choose whether to stay in the browser or automatically open the external app.

Speaking of site behavior, you may not know that we have quite a powerful system for fine-tuning site permissions and behavior, quickly accessible via the security icon directly in the omnibar. There you can adjust site-specific permissions such as location, notification, camera, microphone, and crypto wallet access, as well as ad blocking exceptions.To get an overview of your current settings, and go deeper into tweaking both general and site-specific behaviors, site settings can be accessed through either the settings menu or the padlock/info shortcut illustrated above.
