In recent years, Opera has released numerous browsers, even integrating AI agent capabilities. Now, the company unveils a new browser named Neon, which prominently features an experience powered entirely by artificial intelligence. This includes functionalities such as engaging in natural conversations with users, analyzing web content on their behalf, and executing detailed online tasks with remarkable autonomy.
This innovative browser builds upon Opera’s AI agent technology, Operator, first previewed earlier this year. Through this technology, users can perform basic web interactions—such as filling out forms or shopping online—with ease. Notably, all computations are carried out locally on the device, ensuring that user actions and privacy are not transmitted online.
In addition, Neon enables a suite of AI-generated functions, including video creation, web content generation, and even assistance in writing game source code. These features can be accessed offline, with all processing performed directly on the user’s device.
For tasks requiring online connectivity, the browser utilizes Opera’s servers located within Europe for collaborative computing, thus ensuring compliance with EU data privacy regulations by avoiding transmission of user data beyond European borders.
Opera envisions Neon as a bold step toward redefining the browser experience and spearheading the era of AI-driven agents. However, with major players like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic also venturing into AI-powered browser technologies—and given Opera’s current market share of only around 2.09%—the company is poised to face formidable challenges as it navigates this emerging landscape.
