Oslo, Norway – March 26, 2025 – The Norwegian browser company, Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA], is adding AI Tab Commands to its flagship browser, Opera One. This marks the first time Opera is taking AI out of the chatbox and deploying it to help users manage their tabs. With AI Tab Commands, users can now use their natural language and have their browser organize their tabs. They can, for example, ask Aria, Opera’s browser AI, to close them or group them by topic – to name just two examples.

To get Aria to manage their tabs, users simply need to access the Opera browser Command Line through the Ctrl + / (Win) or CMD + / (Mac) shortcut and type a prompt related to their tabs. Aria will understand their natural language and perform the task. Alternatively, with 5 or more tabs open, they can right click a tab and select the “AI Tab Management” option from the drop-down menu. For example, users can tell Aria to “close all wikipedia tabs” or “group all my YouTube tabs” – then it will proceed to perform said tasks for them.

“For the tab hoarders out there, this feature will come as a revelation. Let’s say you have over 70 tabs opened and amongst them you have wikipedia sites about your university research. To group them all, you no longer have to find them one by one. Instead, you can tell Aria to group them together. Having them in a one tab island, it’s way easier to continue work on your project.” said Joanna Czajka, product director at Opera.

Tab Commands were developed with privacy and security in mind: When using Tab Commands and asking Aria to e.g. organize their tabs, the AI only sends to the server the prompt a user provides (e.g., “close all my YouTube tabs”) – nothing else. All tab-related data remains on the user’s device and is processed locally in the browser.

“After being the first one to introduce tabs 25 years ago, we are continuing to improve this core feature of the browser. Today, we’re, again, the first ones to introduce a comprehensive AI tab management feature in the browser. With this step, we keep pushing the border of what can be achieved with these new technologies in a web browser.” – added Czajka.

New AI features coming to Opera One, Opera GX and Opera Air

In addition to Tab Commands, Opera is also adding several features to Aria that were tested as part of the AI Feature Drops program. These include an improved Writing Mode within the browser’s Command Line, an upgrade to Aria’s answers’ quality when it comes to shopping, product research, cooking and recipe brainstorming, as well as gaming-related topics. Finally, the possibility to interact with Aria from a browser tab, not just from the sidebar chat or command line.

Barcelona, Mar 3, 2025 – The Norwegian browser company Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA] is today announcing the Browser Operator, a native AI agent that is able to perform browsing tasks for users, allowing them to focus on more exciting parts of their lives instead. The introduction of agentic browsing marks a major paradigm shift for browsers, and with today’s preview, Opera is taking the lead on it.

“For more than 30 years, the browser gave you access to the web, but it has never been able to get stuff done for you. Now it can. This is different from anything we’ve seen or shipped so far,” said Krystian Kolondra, EVP “The Browser Operator we’re presenting today marks the first step towards shifting the role of the browser from a display engine to an application that is agentic and performs tasks for its users,”

User’s natural language transformed into browsing tasks

The Browser Operator, currently being demoed as a feature preview, is designed to give users superpowers when browsing – through AI agentics, while safeguarding their privacy. The concept is simple: Browser Operator allows the browser users to explain what they need it to do in natural language, and the browser sets out to perform tasks for them. They can, for example, ask it to buy them a pack of 10 pairs of white tennis socks from Nike in a size 12. The Browser Operator will then perform this task, freeing the user’s time that would have been otherwise spent on this menial task. This aligns with the broader role of the browser, which is there to make users more powerful while online and to give them tools to use their time more efficiently.

The browser that works the web for you

While working on completing a task, Browser Operator lets users see what’s going on at any point in the process as well as what steps it took to complete it. During this process, the user remains in full control and can take over or cancel the task at any given moment. The best part is that Browser Operator works in the same environment as the user: the browser. It doesn’t require a virtual machine or a server in the cloud.

Faster and private agentic browsing with user in control

Opera’s AI agent differs from the approaches to agentic browsing that are currently being tested by other companies. Opera’s solution utilizes native, client-side solutions. It protects user privacy by not relying on screenshots or video capture of the browsing session, nor on a version of the browser running in the cloud or a virtual machine. Instead, the Browser Operator is interacting deep in the core of the browser, keeping user data locally on the device.

Availability

Opera’s Browser Operator is currently available as a preview of the upcoming functionality. Opera expects to launch the new Browser Operator as part of its AI feature drop program in the near future.

Opera’s path toward agentic browsing

Opera has a track record of pioneering functionalities that then become the new standard in the browsing world: it invented tabs with Opera 4, it was also the first to introduce search in the address bar, as well as the first one to offer a built-in VPN and messengers in the sidebar and the first one to offer native browser AI. In 2023, Opera redesigned its flagship browser to make it AI centric. Since March 2024, the company has been pursuing its AI Feature Drops program, which tests experimental AI features such as local LLMs, Image Generation, and AI Tab Commands in the developer stream of the browser and ships them to users on a regular basis. Today, it’s redefining the role of the browser yet again, by becoming the first browser to perform tasks for its users, thus becoming agentic.

Oslo, Norway – February 25, 2025 – The Norwegian web browser Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA] is adding Discord, Slack, and Bluesky into the sidebar of its flagship browser, Opera One. These integrations come in response to community requests: Opera users voiced the need for more communication options within the browser sidebar.

The integration of these platforms in the sidebar further minimizes the amount of tabs and apps users need to have open at once when using their laptop or PC, and makes the Opera browser the central hub for their computer.

The Opera sidebar is the access point for all the things that users consider important in their browser. These new additions to Opera One have been under testing in the Developer stream of the browser for the past month.

“We’re constantly looking at the feedback our users provide underneath our blog posts, on Opera forums, and through social media. Whether you’re working with your team on Slack, chatting with your friends on Discord, or keeping in touch with your community via BlueSky, we want you to be able to do that directly from Opera,” said Joanna Czajka, Product Director at Opera.

The integration of these applications into the sidebar reflects the diversity of Opera’s user base, which spans different communities – including professionals, developers, and social media enthusiasts ready to explore new forms of open and decentralized public conversation. By providing access to these platforms, Opera continues to deliver a browsing experience that users can tailor to their specific needs – all within the framework of the web browser through the sidebar panel. Opera already offers access to several social platforms and messengers, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram. Users can always decide which of the platforms they want to enable: it can be as many as all or none at all.

To access Discord, Slack, and Bluesky through the Opera sidebar, users need to update their browsers to the latest version – or download it here – and then activate their preferred social apps for display in the Sidebar Setup menu.

Oslo, Norway – 4 February 2025 – The Norwegian browser maker Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA] is introducing Opera Air, the first browser built around the concept of mindfulness. Beyond being a powerful, secure, and fully functional browser, Opera Air is designed to make its users feel better while they browse the web. The new browser integrates mindfulness tools such as breathing exercises, meditation, binaural beats, stretching, and positive quotes directly into the browsing experience. Users also get to enjoy a minimalist Scandinavian design and frosted glass UI.

Almost 30 years since the founding of Opera, the role of the browser has never been greater: browsers today allow people to work, shop, do the things they love, seek entertainment and run web apps from one powerful super app. Today, Opera is yet again redefining the role of the browser, by shipping one that is no longer a utility tool, but rather helps its users manage stress, enhance their focus, and maintain emotional clarity throughout their day.

“The web is beautiful but it can be chaotic and overwhelming. We decided to look at science-backed ways to help our users navigate it in a way that makes them feel and function better,” said Mohamed Salah, Senior Director of Product at Opera.

Opera Air allows its users to take a mindful break during their day: they can choose between the “Take a Break” and the “Boosts” features. “Take a Break” will take them to breathing exercises, meditation, as well as full body scan – each varying in length (from 3 to 15 minutes) and the type of exercises offered. Users can also set a reminder to take a mindful break.

The “Boosts” feature available in Opera Air uses binaural beats, an auditory technique where two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear, creating a perceived third frequency in the brain. This is known to influence brainwave activity, helping to promote relaxation, focus, or a meditative state. The available “Boosts” include Creativity Boost, Energized Focus, Deep Relaxation and many more – even one that allows users to more easily recall their dreams. In each one, the volume of the waves, the sounds of nature, and the background music can be adjusted. Users can also choose their preferred background music for any of the Boosts. The length of the Boost can be set from 15 minutes to infinity.

In Opera Air, mindfulness enters the browsing experience in a non-disruptive way. Users can, for example, keep browsing or working on a document while listening to the “Focused Calm” Boost that uses Alpha 8Hz beats, along with background music and sounds of nature that will allow them to achieve a state of focused calm that will be useful to them as they work or read.

Oslo, Norway – January 21, 2025 – Norwegian web browser company Opera is setting up hygge desks in the most beautiful cabins across Norway and is looking for ten people to browse the web from them for a week.

Hygge is a Scandinavian term that refers to an environment of coziness, calm and comfort. Opera has introduced this concept into the browser through its features and aesthetics that help users perform their daily browsing tasks with ease and comfort, and without stress. After almost 30 years of developing the browser throughout beautiful, seemingly endless summers and long, dark North European winters, hygge has become an intrinsic part of the Opera browser.

Now, a select group gets to experience hygge in practice from one of Norway’s most beautifully located cabins. All they have to do is apply by telling Opera why they should be picked to browse from one of the ten hygge desks.

“We’re developing a browser that captures the Scandinavian essence of a simple, unassuming life – one that leaves stress behind and helps our users focus on what matters the most. We’re used to hygge in Scandinavia, but now we want our worldwide community to understand what that concept means in practice,” said Jan Standal, VP at Opera.

Experience the Opera hygge desk

Opera is zooming out of the browser and focusing on the physical desk on which laptops, computers and phones rest. A hygge desk is one that allows you to leave anything annoying or emotionally overwhelming behind. It accentuates both the pleasure that comes from browsing and the presence of the smallest, coziest elements at hand – like warm lighting or an epic view of nature.

How to participate

In order to get a chance to experience the Opera hygge desk in Norway, candidates can apply now by telling Opera why they think they should be the ones to browse from a hygge desk. Applicants can submit either text or images to back their claim, and they can apply from now until 28 February 2025.

Give your own desk a touch of hygge by downloading Opera here.

Oslo, Norway – 15 January 2025 – Norwegian browser company Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA] is unveiling the Opera GX hub, a new feature designed to blend the universes of its users’ favorite games directly into the browser. Starting with the Cyberpunk 2077 hub, this new addition to Opera GX brings players closer to their favorite titles than ever before, making it possible for them to use the web while never leaving Night City. They can now browse with the full Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack playing in the background, have webpages displayed in the dystopian Cyberpunk 2077 style, and get direct access to streams, modding guides, news from the game and much more – all within the browser.

The Cyberpunk 2077 hub in Opera GX is the first of its kind. It’s a new integrated feature that connects the universe of a game with the user’s browsing experience.

“The feedback from the Cyberpunk 2077 mod made it clear that players wanted an even deeper connection between their games and the browser. That’s why we decided to set a precedent and give fans what they really want: an immersive experience with the games they love. This new hub merges game features directly with Opera GX so that players can stay in the game’s world even while browsing,” said Maciej Kocemba, Product Director at Opera GX.

The Cyberpunk 2077 hub is free to all Opera GX users. Accessible from the GX Corner home page, the hub brings a range of game-focused features, including:

Oslo, Norway – 11th December 2024 – Opera is improving its built-in Ad Blocker on Android, offering greater privacy and control across three new modes. The revamped Ad Blocker addresses the growing complexity of online advertising, allowing users to navigate the web faster, with fewer intrusive ads and improved security. As a result, Opera for Android’s native Ad Blocker is now faster, more powerful and better-performing.

Improved ad blocking with three new modes

Designed to simplify browsing by eliminating intrusive ads, Opera’s built-in Ad Blocker has been one of the most popular features since its introduction. With the new version of Opera for Android (86), the ad blocker has been enhanced to include three distinct modes that cater to varying user preferences and browsing habits.

Balanced Mode as the improved version of the free built-in Ad Blocker available since 2016. This update enhances browsing by offering greater control and stronger protection against distractions. Balanced Mode offers a standard approach to ad blocking, removing common ads while ensuring that websites function as intended. This mode is ideal for activities like online shopping or banking, where site compatibility is crucial.

Enhanced Mode, with an extra built-in level of privacy by the leading ad blocker in the world – uBlock Origin and AdGuard, provides a more robust defense against intrusive ads. It delivers the strongest ad-blocking experience available in Opera for Android, although it may affect the compatibility of some sites. This mode is perfect for users who want the highest level of protection against unwanted advertisements. A long-time presence in the ad blocking space, uBlock Origin is known for its efficiency in terms of resource usage, efficiency, and transparency in its code and operations.

Custom Mode allows users to choose from six curated block lists – including EasyList, uBlock, AdGuard, Malware Blocks, NoCoin, and Adblock Mobile Ads – along with specialized regional options. This helps users fine-tune their browsing experience to suit their needs.

These settings can be configured via Settings > Ad Blocking > Ad Blocking Mode, ensuring flexibility and control over how ads are handled during browsing sessions. Read more about the Opera ad blocker here.

Blocking ads offers more than just a cleaner browsing experience – it brings several practical benefits that enhance usability and security:

• Faster page loads & reduced data usage: Ads with heavy graphics or auto-play videos can slow down websites, and so blocking them results in quicker load times. By eliminating ads, users additionally save on data, making ad blocking particularly valuable for those on limited plans.
• Less clutter & better focus: Blocking intrusive ads removes unnecessary elements like pop-ups and banners, creating a cleaner, more enjoyable browsing environment. With distractions minimized, users can concentrate on the content they care about, whether it’s reading, shopping, or streaming.
• Improved privacy & security: Opera’s Ad Blocker prevents tracking by advertisers, helping users maintain control over their digital footprint. Blocking malicious ads reduces exposure to malware, phishing attempts, and other online threats.

Enhanced download management and app icon personalization

The new version of Opera for Android also includes an updated download manager. Users can now rename files before or after downloading and set limits on concurrent downloads. Also, a permission setting called “Ask before downloading” gives users the ability to approve or decline downloads before they start. These features are accessible under download settings, providing a streamlined experience for everyday file management.

Opera for Android also introduces six new app icons, including five inspired by Opera One’s award-winning design. Users can select their preferred icon to give their browser a unique look, with an exclusive dark blue icon available when Opera is set as the default browser.
