The different AI tasks and capabilities are spread across these three bots, which can be confusing for users to navigate. 3. Opera has started taking people off the waitlist for Neon, joining competitors like Google's Gemini-infused Chrome, Perplexity's Comet, and The Browser Company's Dia. 4. Unlike some competitors, Opera is charging for Neon, which sets it apart in the increasingly crowded AI browser market. The article highlights the complexities and challenges faced by AI-powered browsers, as they strive to integrate multiple AI functionalities within a single platform.
