Lately, headlines have been flooded with news of to more apps than ever, but is looking to one-up other apps with its own take on dark mode. While Opera Mobile has offered a dark mode for some time now, this latest update improves the situation with a series of colorful themes that can be used in conjunction with both light and dark modes, adding a bit of flair to the boring old Internet.

This even includes sending money to friends, all without having to have an extra app for such a task. That adds in a level of privacy and security that other browsers simply don't.
