Opera and Spotify have partnered to make it easier for users to listen to their favorite music, podcasts, and more while browsing the web.

It has long been possible to listen to music from within Opera's browser. If you go down its sidebar, you'll see a player icon where you can choose from Apple Music, Spotify and Deezer and then log into any of them with your account details.

Opera One's latest partnership with Spotify makes the music streaming platform its default player for the browser.

Here’s a fun little deal that snuck its way into the lesser-known Opera web browser: right now, you can snag three months of Spotify Premium for free thanks to a collaboration between Spotify and Opera.
