Oslo, Norway – May 28, 2025 – Opera has done it again! Today, they announced the launch of Opera Neon, the first AI agentic browser that promises to change the way we browse the web – and I couldn’t be more excited.
For years, I’ve been a loyal Opera user, always appreciating its innovative features, sleek design, and privacy-first approach. Honestly, I’ve preferred it over Google Chrome because it just gets me. From the built-in VPN to the sidebar integrations with my favorite messengers, Opera has consistently made my online life easier and more efficient. And now, with Opera Neon, they’re taking things to a whole new level.
Opera Neon isn’t just a browser – it’s a partner. It’s built with advanced AI agents that understand my intent and can actually perform web tasks for me. Imagine a browser that fills forms, books trips, shops online, and even creates projects – all while respecting my privacy and running everything locally. And it’s not just about handling routine tasks; Neon can take on big creative challenges, too. Whether I need a research report, a website, a game prototype, or even an animated explainer – Neon can build it for me, and it will keep working in the cloud even if I log off.
I’ve been following Opera’s journey for years, and I remember when they first introduced the original concept of Neon back in 2016. Now, it’s back, not as a concept, but as a reality. Opera Neon is their bold step into what they’re calling Web 4o – the next generation of the web, where humans and AI agents collaborate seamlessly.
For me, this is a game-changer. I’m already imagining how much easier my online tasks will become – from planning trips to developing side projects – and how much more creative I can be with Neon as my collaborator. Unlike Google Chrome, which, despite its vast resources, often feels like it’s playing catch-up in the AI space, Opera is embracing the future of browsing with true innovation.
I’m signing up for the early adopter waitlist at www.operaneon.com, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. With Opera Neon, the web isn’t just a space to consume content – it’s a canvas for creation and collaboration. And I’m here for it.
