Install Opera web browser in Linux Ubuntu. Opera 68 is released with built-in Instagram sidebar.
Enabling the Instagram feature in the Opera browser
To start using Instagram in Opera, just click the Instagram icon in the sidebar on the left and log into your Instagram account. Then you’re all set: you can use the social network the way you’re used to, and finally put down your phone.
You can access your main Instagram feed, along with Instastories, the explore function, and DMs – which, needless to say, have grown in popularity in recent weeks.
Using this new feature one can use Instagram on the desktop while they browse. They can:
- Direct messaging – Opera lets you message friends and followers on Instagram in the sidebar panel.
- Browse your feed and Watch stories – Watch Instastories and browse your feed from your sidebar. Explore and search Instagram conveniently.
- View all of Instagram – Instagram in your sidebar makes it easier to browse, follow, message, view, like, watch, and comment.
- Get started easily – Simply click the Instagram icon in your sidebar and sign into your account to use Instagram directly in your Opera browser.
Note that Opera already has several built-in messengers in the sidebar, like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram and VKontakte.
Work and browse in one window with Workspaces
Also, if you like efficiency, you’ll really like the Workspaces feature, which lets you handle separate tab groups, whether they are work-related or personal, from the same browser window. Using the sidebar on the left, you can group tabs in up to five separate workspaces. The browser also lets you customize their icons and names.
