After several months of testing, the Norway-based browser company Opera has now released its AI-powered browser, Neon, to the general public. Access requires a subscription fee of $19.90 per month. Opera initially introduced Neon in May of this year and began offering early access to a limited group of users in October.

Like other AI-centric browsers such as Perplexity’s Comet, OpenAI’s Atlas, and The Browser Company’s Dia, Neon integrates an AI chatbot directly into its interface. This allows users to ask questions about web pages, create mini-apps and videos, and delegate various tasks. The browser leverages your browsing history for context, enabling you to request details from a YouTube video watched last week or an article read yesterday.

Users can also set up reusable “Cards” for repetitive tasks using prompts, and the browser includes an advanced research agent capable of gathering in-depth information on any subject. Additionally, Neon introduces a new tab organization tool called Tasks, which functions as contained workspaces for AI chats and tabs. This feature resembles a combination of Tab Groups and Arc Browser’s Spaces, providing dedicated context for AI interactions.

Beyond the AI capabilities, the subscription grants access to leading models such as Gemini 3 Pro, GPT-5.1, Veo 3.1, and Nano Banana Pro. Subscribers will also gain entry to Opera’s Discord community and direct communication with its development team.

“Opera Neon is designed for individuals who want to be at the forefront of the latest AI technology. It is a rapidly evolving project with major updates released weekly. We have been refining it alongside our Founders community and are now thrilled to offer early access to a broader audience,” stated Krystian Kolondra, EVP of browsers at Opera.

The company highlighted that its other products, including Opera One, Opera GX, and Opera Air, also offer free AI features, such as a chat-based assistant. In contrast, established browser companies are adopting a more gradual approach to integrating AI features into their offerings.

Earlier this week, Google outlined the security measures it is implementing to protect users from vulnerabilities associated with agentic features. Similarly, Brave announced on Wednesday that it is previewing its agentic features in a nightly build and provides an isolated browsing profile for AI usage, allowing users to keep their standard, non-AI browsing separate.
