Opera Browser is renowned in the Android community for providing users with all the tools that they require to surf the web at fast speeds and find the information or content that they are looking for in record time.

Now, things are going to get even better. The reason why we are saying that is because a brand-new update has been made available for download and it introduces Chromium 81.

Opera Browser 58.0.2862.52854 Beta Update

If you enjoy using Opera Browser, then you should be pleased to find out that the developers have decided to upgrade the software to Chromium 81. This is great news because it means that Opera Browser’s overall performances will be faster and more stable. You will no longer have to worry about random software crashes.

We also want to mention that the update is changing Opera Browser’s version number to 58.0.2862.52854 beta and that it is available to download via OTA (over the air) channels.

Therefore, the update is going to pop up in the notifications panel of all fans who are using Android-powered devices. The only requirement is to keep the device connected to a stable Wi-Fi network.

The APK Alternative

Opera Browser fans who don’t want to wait for the update to pop up in their notifications panel should be pleased to know that there is an alternative way to download the update. The developers of the mobile browser have also released the update in the form of APK.

APK stands for “Android Package Kit” and it is a special type of update format that enables users to sideload apps, games and updates.

With that said, Opera Browser fans can manually download and install the update to access Chromium 81 ahead of everyone else. In addition, the “Unknown Sources” option needs to be enabled for the device to be compatible with APK releases.
