Opera for Android Gets New Home Screen With Google AI Mode Shortcut, Football Hub Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026

Opera has updated its Android browser with a redesigned home screen that offers quicker access to Google's AI Mode, private browsing, and new customisation options. The update also introduces a dedicated football hub ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026, featuring live scores, match statistics, team notifications, and an AI-powered news feed. Users can customise Speed Dial icons and view weather information directly on the start page. Opera said the changes are based partly on survey findings that highlight strong interest in following the tournament through browsers.
