About

Opera Neon is an AI-driven "agentic" web browser from Opera, the Norwegian company that has been building browsers since 1995. It is designed to do more than display pages: it interprets what the user is trying to accomplish, works across tabs and sources, and carries out tasks on command, turning scattered research material into structured, shareable output.

The browser ships with multiple built-in agents, each aimed at a different kind of result — from drafting a quick agenda to browsing the web, running deep research, or generating documents. Because it is still a full Chromium-based Opera browser underneath, users keep familiar features such as tab management, a built-in ad blocker, and a free VPN. Opera Neon first shipped as an AI agentic browser on September 30, 2025, and is available for Windows and macOS.

Key Features

Agentic task execution: Neon understands intent, reads pages, carries context across tabs, compares inputs, and structures results so users can go from raw material to finished work.
Multiple specialized agents: Different agents handle different outcomes — quick agendas, web browsing, deep research (the ODRA research agent), and document generation — inside the same browser.
MCP Connector: External AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT can connect to and interact with the browser directly through the Model Context Protocol.
Opera Browser CLI: A command-line interface lets developers and agents control and query a real browser session, using token-efficient browser snapshots.
Access to leading AI models: A subscription activates agentic functionality and top LLMs; Opera has added models including Llama, QWEN, Veo 3.1, Sora 2 video generation, and Nano Banana image generation.
Built-in browser essentials: Includes smarter tab management, sidebar messengers and services, modular browsing, built-in ad blocking, and a free no-login VPN.
Privacy-first design: Passwords, log-in credentials, payment details, and cookies stay on the device; account data, chats, and browsing history are not used for model training, personalization, or advertising.

Pricing & Fees

  • Pricing: Opera Neon is free to download, with a subscription at $19.90/month to unlock the agentic features and top AI models; AI agents can also use the browser free of charge.
  • Platforms: Available for Windows and macOS, built on Chromium for full site compatibility.
  • Developer integration: Supports MCP and CLI paths so agents and workflows can run through the browser rather than beside it.
  • Privacy: Sensitive data remains on-device; no user data is used for AI training or advertising.

Who It's For

Opera Neon suits knowledge workers who research across many tabs and need structured output, such as reports, agendas, or documents. Developers and automation builders benefit from the CLI and MCP Connector, which let tools like Claude and ChatGPT drive a real browser session. It also fits privacy-conscious users who want AI assistance without their browsing data being used for training or ads, and anyone who wants an everyday browser with a built-in ad blocker and free VPN alongside AI capabilities.
