Opera is expanding its AI features to its popular browsers, Opera GX and Opera One, following the launch of Opera Neon. The integration with Google’s latest Gemini models allows users to access a new AI side panel that offers summaries, tab comparisons, and analysis of files, images, and videos based on their browsing habits. This update is significant for the over 80 million users of Opera’s browsers, enhancing their experience with real-time, AI-driven tools. The revamped AI capabilities include voice input and output, along with support for various file types. Opera claims that the new architecture behind these features delivers responses 20% faster than before, thanks to an agentic-based engine derived from Opera Neon. For those concerned about privacy, Opera provides clear controls over what data can be shared with the AI, allowing users to manage their privacy settings effectively. Per Wetterdal, Opera’s EVP Commercial, emphasized the importance of AI in shaping web interactions and the browser as a key entry point for these experiences. The partnership with Google facilitates the integration of these advanced features directly into Opera GX and Opera One, while users of Opera Neon can access the more advanced Gemini 3 Pro. This strategic move positions Opera to compete more aggressively in the browser market by enhancing user experience through AI technology.
