Opera

We’re excited to see Opera Air getting some serious love, and MakeUseOf just highlighted it as the best new browsers of 2025. 🎉 "The browser market in 2025 is overcrowded with tools trying to do everything for everyone, and every browser has become loud, fast, and exhausting. Opera Air feels like a confident step back." Air started as an idea about making the online world feel calmer and more intentional, and seeing it recognized like this means a lot to us. From mindful breaks to soundscapes and a cleaner, more focused design. We wanted to build a browser that actually supports how people feel when they’re online. We’re incredibly proud of what Air is becoming, a big moment for the team. 🏆 Check out the review here 👉  https://lnkd.in/d3-cmfjE

Opera One just got a major AI upgrade - and you can now opt-in! We’ve rebuilt the browser AI from the ground up, implementing a new engine and architecture that make it faster, smarter, better integrated and still free to use. Here’s what’s new: • 20% faster responses • Context aware answers that understand the page or the tab that you’re working in • A redesigned interface, with a new ask AI entry point in the top right corner and a side panel that never covers your content. • Video understanding on YouTube, voice input & output, improved file analysis, snapshot tool and wallpaper generation. Privacy remains central, Opera AI needs to be specifically enabled and only analyses the tab (or tab group) users choose, never the full browsing history. So, how to opt-in? Update to the latest version, open the AI icon in your sidebar, click upgrade, restart Opera and get busy! Read more here: https://opr.as/d5e5cc
