Topic: Will it be safe to store assets on opera mini browser wallet? (Read 199 times)

Note,  I wrote this reply based on the title of this thread,  without going through the entire post before I could detect the wings in taking such measures to store your crypto assets,  because with the Opera cryptocurrency wallet, you don't own your keys,  and without your keys, any coin store on that wallet is not yours but beings to the exchange who serves as custodial to those coins,  so there is a lot to be done to achieve the financial freedom where you own your keys and your coins.

Avoid any form of centralisation It may seem to be the easy way but there are a lot of impending issues that come along with them.

Ever since i join this crypto space truth to be told i never come across OPERA MINI say them get wallet na my first time be this oh... to me e better say i use weytin other people dey use to dey for the safe side. na IMTOKEN WALLET i start with before TRUST WALLET come show face i come follow dey use am, even as we get many wallet for internet so.

My country people. I greet una for this wonderful day.  I say make I drop this one here make we discuss am weda e day safe or not. This morning as I dey do my phone routine, I enter my browser too. I dey surprised to see say Opera Mini browser get wallet. E surprise me unto say I don dey use opera mini for a very long time I no notice am say that wallet dey there. Up till now I still dey wonder weda e dey safe for me to use or not, but in essence, I learnt something and what I learnt was that it is good to always Check for the features of anything around you or whatever you use because you just can't tell some major features and functions of it not until you do a further research on it or possibly a routine check to finding out some more features about it.

This is also applicable to human as well.  Going extra miles to discover your potentials  would keep you updated with your skills and energy as the case maybe. Nobody is dull or incapable. All Humans in one way or the other have some hidden potentials in them to discover and develop themselves. Just like I discovered Opera Mini app browser wallet today as I decided to do a routine check on the app browser, we can do same on ourselves to discover more hidden potentials in us.

Furthermore, I continued with finding more about the wallet and I noticed that the wallet features is quite different from other wallets I have used. Although you can generate wallet seed phrase and back it up. There is also test net futures on the wallet.

I believe most of us here are vast knowledgeable on wallets and it's safety that is why I brought it here because I was thinking of using the wallet but I remembered that my assets safety matters alot to me hence I decided to engage us in discussion here to know if it will be safe for using this wallet as I have not really seen opera mini do advert or anything of such to promote  the presence of their wallet on their app. Funny things happens these days so one needs be careful how they go about their assets when it comes to Safe keeping and choosing of wallets to store their assets.

I am open to learning and I stand to be corrected if there are any observations made. The floor is open for our discussions and view about the subject matter.

I think some wallet has been referred by someone above so if you want those wallet you can go directly from their official website to download it or you can as well check on playstore. Usually since I don't store my fund in one wallet, like sig address is from trustwallet which is not trust or reliable to store asset for long so what I does is to receive and the I send out to another wallet which I think is more reliable for me to store my funds.

Be very mindful as hackers are everywhere seeking for whom to scam and made away their funds.

So far from all the replies I have read here, it is obvious that most of these browser wallets are not safe and advisable to use for storing of assets. Possibly, as a user or holder of the wallet you have no idea or clue on the wallet security features which makes it difficult to use and come to talk of it, it is a third party affiliated or built-in browser wallet after I went further to do more findings which is not safe and Opera Mini would not be held responsible for any massive or individual hacks if the case emanates or occurs.

SmartGold01 possibly, what you have said is correct. I was looking at it that information might be stolen through the browser as well to accessing your wallet and from there the hackers or scammers could take all assets and do away with it through that medium. When it comes to rates on review sites, I do not really give in to most of those cooked up rate stories as most are fabricated paid ratings just to give the masses fake impression about such products. How we know them is the space at which they get the ratings within a short time which such product should be under observation for a while before ratings.

Nevertheless, doing away with such is possibly the best option for personal safety and well-being because of your funds are stolen, there is no way it can mm be returned by the hacker or scammer. So therefore one needs to be extremely cautious and careful on how they engage with browser wallets of that to nature.

Reason because I think it can be hacked because everything is possible for 9ja.

In the past, I have come across the Opera Mini wallet, which I only used to receive some payments from airdrop tasks. I don't think there is anything special about that wallet; to be on the safe side, I suggest you to use the mostly recommend Mobile wallets such as the Blue wallet, but for Windows, you can use the Electrum wallet. I don't think anyone is recommending the Opera Mini wallet.

You can access the Opera Crypto Wallet by downloading Opera’s Crypto Browser. You can download it here.

To set up the wallet, click the wallet icon on the left sidebar. You can set up a new wallet or restore your existing wallet with your recovery phrase.
