The honest brief

Dia

From the makers of Arc; AI lives in the address bar aware of your open tabs and history, not a bolted-on chatbot.

  • AI baked into the URL bar
  • Tab- and history-aware context
  • Reusable 'skills'
  • Free tier for light use
  • macOS only
  • Closed source
  • Pro at $20/mo to lift AI limits
  • Young product, evolving feature set

Opera Neon

Agent-first where rivals bolt chat onto browsing — Do acts on live pages and Make builds mini-apps, beyond the sidebar-assistant browsers.

  • 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)
