- Browser memories carry context
- Agent mode automates web tasks
- Familiar Chromium foundation
- macOS only so far
- Agent mode needs a paid plan

Opera Neon

- Chat, Do, and Make agents built in
- Premium frontier models in one subscription
- Cards make prompt workflows repeatable
- ODRA deep-research agent cites sources
- Built-in VPN and ad blocker
- Subscription-only — no free tier
- $19.90/month where rival AI browsers are free
- Explicitly experimental; features change weekly
- Desktop-only (Windows and macOS)
