Opera Neon: The Future of Browsing
Opera Limited, a prominent name in the web browsing and AI landscape, has officially introduced
Opera Neon — a revolutionary browser that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to enhance the user's browsing experience. Set to not just allow access to the internet but also to facilitate complex tasks through sophisticated AI capabilities, Opera Neon aims to redefine the way users interact online.
What Makes Opera Neon Unique?
Unlike traditional browsers, Opera Neon transcends basic functionalities, integrating
agentic AI that operates directly within the browsing environment. This means users can leverage AI support not only for conducting searches but also for executing intricate tasks such as coding or data comparison directly within their browsing sessions.
Krystian Kolondra, the Executive Vice President of Browsers at Opera, stated, "We built Opera Neon for ourselves – and for everyone who uses AI extensively in their day-to-day life. Today, we welcome the first users who will help shape the future of agentic browsing with us."
Features of Opera Neon
1. Tasks: The New Way to Manage Browsing Activities
The traditional method of juggling multiple tabs, documents, and chats can be cumbersome. Opera Neon introduces
Tasks, a feature designed to consolidate various activities into a single context. Each Task serves as a self-contained workspace, allowing the integrated AI to provide pertinent assistance across several sources simultaneously. Users can think of it as each task creating its own mini-browser, where the AI comprehends the current activity and can offer tailored support.
2. Reusable Cards for Simplified AI Interaction
Opera Neon introduces
Cards, which are reusable prompts that facilitate more efficient task management. For example, if a user wishes to compare products across tabs, they can select relevant Cards to enhance their prompts without needing to start from scratch every time. This feature not only streamlines the process of acquiring information but also enables users to combine commands that translate into actionable tasks.
3. Agentic Browsing with Neon Do
One standout feature of Opera Neon is
Neon Do, which allows the browser to perform actions within the user's active session. While many AI assistants require external cloud services to operate, Neon Do functions entirely within the framework of the browser itself. This innovative feature allows the AI to check multiple sites, compare data, and gather necessary information in real time—all while ensuring user security by avoiding the need for cloud-based authentication.
Users can control Neon’s activities, allowing for a collaborative browsing experience that delivers precise assistance as needed. It’s as if you have a personal assistant directly integrated into your computer.
Building on Opera's Legacy
Opera has a historical reputation for innovation, being the pioneers of several features we take for granted today, such as tabbed browsing and built-in ad blockers. With
Opera Neon, the company continues to push boundaries by marrying its legacy of user-friendly features with cutting-edge AI technology, aiming to cater to the demands of professionals who spend significant time online.
Subscription-Based Premium Experience
Opera Neon is positioned as a premium, subscription-based browser aimed at power users willing to invest in a more advanced web experience. The initial batch of users began receiving access upon the launch, with more invitations set to be rolled out soon.
