What it is
Opera Neon is a Chromium-based AI browser for macOS and Windows. It can open pages, research, fill forms, and create content for a user. Neon Chat uses open pages as context and supports image generation, video generation, photo-to-video generation, and web-app creation. Neon Do works with the current page, manages tabs, runs scheduled tasks, and connects with Google tools. Research agents include Deep Research, One-Minute Research, and Local Research. Neon Cards save instructions for reuse across Chat, Do, and Research Agents. MCP connections are supported, with Claude Code, Lovable, and n8n named as working tools. Connections are read-only by default; actions require permission, and Neon Do can be paused, stopped, or taken over. Opera says chats and workflows remain on its servers for 365 days, can be deleted, and are not used for training. An Opera account is required. The free plan includes basic AI chat, ad blocking, a free VPN, Browser CLI, and MCP Connector. Standard costs $19.90 a month.
