Opera's AI browser will cost you $20 a month

Opera, the Norwegian tech company, has launched a new AI-powered browser called Opera Neon, which will cost users $19.90 per month. The browser is designed for individuals who use AI regularly and promises to go beyond a simple AI chat feature, offering capabilities such as task execution, code creation, and direct delivery of outcomes within the browser experience. The key features of Opera Neon include Tasks, which allows users to create their own workspaces to use AI for tasks like comparing and analyzing sources, and Cards, which are reusable AI prompts that can be customized or pulled from a community collection. Additionally, Neon Do helps users navigate the web for tasks such as checking sources, looking up information, and completing forms. Opera is hoping that this "premium, subscription-based browser" will attract users who are willing to pay for an AI-enhanced browsing experience, rather than relying on free options like Google's Gemini-powered Chrome features.
