Opera’s latest browser basically hands the keys to its AI copilot, Aria. Imagine ChatGPT helping you draft emails, dashboard-juggling your tabs, and firing back real-time trivia answers like it’s playing Jeopardy. Meme generation? Built-in. You can say goodbye to frantic alt-tabbing, or at least look smoother while you do it. With privacy-protecting features and even a crypto wallet, yes, Opera is flexing hard. Curious how it pulls this off, or what comes next?
Even in a world stuffed to the brim with browsers that promise everything short of making your coffee, Opera has managed to raise a few eyebrows—and not just among nostalgic Netscape fans. The secret sauce? A hefty dose of AI, splashed across every corner of the browsing experience, with Aria AI taking center stage. Forget about the days when “AI” meant auto-correcting your atrocious spelling; this is next-level stuff.
Opera’s AI-powered browsing isn’t just hype—it’s a real game-changer, putting Aria AI front and center for next-level web experiences
Aria AI isn’t just for answering trivia or generating AI images (though it does both—in real time, no less). It manages tabs so efficiently that even the most chaotic multitaskers could weep with relief. Need ChatGPT? It’s right there in the sidebar, ready to help you draft an email, summarize a Wikipedia rabbit hole, or generate a meme-worthy image—no alt-tabbing required.
Opera’s agentic browsing is more than a buzzword. The browser actually lets AI drive the experience, automating routine tasks and letting users focus on, well, anything else. Aria works seamlessly across desktop and mobile, with support for over 50 languages—so you can ask it to summarize a French news article or generate a haiku in Japanese. Opera’s AI features are also accessible from the browser’s sidebar or with a quick keyboard shortcut, making AI tools just a keystroke away for users on any device.]
