Opera Neon
What Opera Neon is
Opera Neon is an AI-powered browser for macOS and Windows, built on Chromium. It can work with webpages, research topics, fill forms, and create content. Neon Chat uses pages open in the browser as context and supports image and video generation, photo-to-video generation, and web app creation. Neon Do can handle tasks involving the current page and tabs, schedule tasks, and connect with Google tools. Research options include Deep Research, One-Minute Research, and Local Research agents. Neon Cards let users save instructions for reuse across Chat, Do, and Research Agents. The browser also supports MCP connections, including Claude Code, Lovable, and n8n. These connections are read-only by default; actions such as clicking or filling forms require permission. Users can pause, stop, or take over Neon Do. Neon Do runs in the browser while using cloud LLMs; Neon Chat and most Research Agents run in the cloud. Opera says chats and workflows are stored on its servers for 365 days, can be deleted by users, and are not used to train AI models. An Opera account is required. The free plan includes basic AI chat, ad blocking, a free VPN, Browser CLI, and MCP Connector. The Standard Plan is $19.90 a month.
