Opera Neon Ends Waitlist As AI Browser Battle Heats Up
A couple of months after its soft release, Opera is launching Opera Neon to the general public, as they can now take advantage of this experimental agentic AI browser. First introduced during the summer, Opera Neon changes how users interact with their browser, as it's now made to work alongside the person by helping them get more done.
"Opera Neon is a product for people who like to be the first to the newest AI tech. It's a rapidly evolving project with significant updates released every week. We've been shaping it with our Founders community for a while and are now excited to share the early access to it with a larger audience," said Krystian Kolondra, EVP of Browsers at Opera.
Based on three main features, Opera Neon is made to "Chat," "Do," and "Make" things. Unlike its ChatGPT Atlas and Browser Company's Dia competitors, Opera Neon uses several top-tier models combined to deliver the best answer/project to users.
Opera Neon was first, but then started lagging behind competitors
While Opera was the first to tease its agentic browser capabilities earlier this year, the company remains a few steps behind the competition. While many others started to release their free AI magnetic browsers, the Norwegian company continued to offer its experimental agentic AI browser to a limited number of people for testing purposes.
Since I started using it a couple of months ago, Opera Neon introduced access to Gemini 3 Pro, GPT-5.1, Veo 3.1, and Nano Banana Pro, in addition to its own ODRA deep research agent, which can do deep research in just a minute.
Opera Neon bets on a paid-only tier, as users need to subscribe to this browser for $19.99/month to unlock access to all the best AI models in the market. Users can get more details about Opera Neon and how to download it here, and BGR will let you know as the company adds new features to its users.
