What is Opera Neon?
Opera Neon is an agentic AI browser from Opera that chats with pages, researches, builds things and completes web tasks for you. Opera released it to subscribers in September 2025 and made the browser itself a free download in 2026, keeping the AI agents in a paid Standard plan. It runs on Windows and macOS.
Neon puts several agents inside the browser: Neon Do acts on websites for you, Make builds documents, sites and other outputs, and research agents compile reports. Agents use the context of your open pages and tabs, and sensitive data such as passwords and cookies stays on your device. Developers can also connect their own agents through an MCP connector and CLI. It suits people who want to hand off repetitive web tasks and research.
