This new feature allows you to type in strings of emoji on the address bar and get redirected to a webpage, as well as register your own <strong>unique emoji combo<\/strong> as your personal domain on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>Yat<\/strong> is an all-in-one emoji username that acts as your universal online identity, website URL, payment address, and the like. It promotes both <strong>user-friendliness<\/strong> in typing in website links and <strong>self-expression<\/strong>, so this partnership with Opera opens up more ways for Yat users and creators to reach out to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way Yats work is that you can <strong>buy them like domain names<\/strong> and create a string of up to five commonly-used emojis to act as your <strong>personal URL<\/strong>, among other things. This makes it so that creators and celebrities like Lil\u2019 Wayne can promote their websites while still retaining creativity on the links\u2019 appearance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, you need to type in \u201c<strong>y.at\/<\/strong>\u201d before the emojis to make them work but Opera foregoes that entirely. Now, you can <strong>immediately insert<\/strong> the emoji combinations on Opera\u2019s URL bar and it will open up the corresponding Yat page. Emojis embedded on web pages link to the Yat page automatically, too. There\u2019s even a little <strong>pop-up<\/strong> on the URL bar you can use to easily select emoji characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opera rolled out this feature on all of its browsers on Windows, <a href=\"https:\/\/opera.en.softonic.com\/mac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mac<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/opera.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/opera-mini.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iOS<\/a>\u2014including its <strong>Crypto Browser Project<\/strong>. This makes it the very first browser to support emoji-based web addresses. Not only does this add to the various cool features Opera has, but it\u2019s also another good reason as to <a href=\"https:\/\/opera.en.softonic.com\/articles\/why-you-should-upgrade-your-browser-to-opera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">why you should consider switching to Opera<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opera, one of the most popular web browsers, has now integrated the emoji-based web addresses of Yat into its system.
