In their own words
BrowserOS
BrowserOS is an open-source Chromium-based browser with AI agents for carrying out web tasks from natural-language directions. The agents can navigate, click, type, fill forms, extract data, and run workflows across multiple steps. Chat Mode answers questions about the page in view; visual Graph Mode for repeatable workflows is marked as coming soon. BrowserOS supports Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, and local models through Ollama or LM Studio. Its maker lists more than 40 MCP app integrations, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, and Calendar, as well as 53 built-in browser tools. An included MCP server connects with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex. As a Chromium fork, it supports Chrome extensions and import of Chrome bookmarks, passwords, and settings. Browsing data stays on-device unless cloud syncing is enabled; syncing is off by default, and synced activity is encrypted on BrowserOS servers. BrowserOS says it does not store or log AI prompts or responses, though providers may handle submitted data under their own policies. It is free and licensed under AGPL-3.0.
Opera Neon
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.
