Opera told Is that Neon has been introduced as a premium subscription product, although its price or release date has not been revealed at the moment. Currently interested users can register for this in the weightlist. The most unique feature of Neon is its AI agent named ‘Browser Operator’. According to the company, this agent can handle many activities like online shopping, forming, travel booking for the user and all this is within the browser, without any external tool.
The company has also given a chatbot style interface with Neon browser. Users can give instructions by speaking or writing this chatbot such as “Make a two-do list for me”, “Code a basic portfolio website”, or “Give me by design a 2D game.” Opera says that all these tasks NEON browser complements themselves, that too without a user to go to a separate tool or IDE.
Local processing has been taken care of in this new browser i.e. the user’s personal information does not share outside the browser. In addition, it also works with a cloud-based AI system to handle large and detailed tasks.
This move of Opera indicates a big trend, where the browser is not just a means of browsing the internet but an all-in-one digital assistant.
