Norwegian browser company Opera announced it will introduce new features to its flagship AI-centric browser Opera One through its AI Feature Drops Program, which the company said will improve web browsing for users without the need for additional paid services or extensions.
"AI is moving fast and so are we. We've started the AI Feature Drops Program to allow people to test our newest AI explorations that either will or won't make it to the official version of Opera One. We are excited to let our most engaged users test and share their feedback and suggestions with us," said Opera executive vice president Krystian Kolondra.
Opera One’s native AI, Aria, can be accessed through a command line and the browser sidebar.
Aria offers free access to a GPT-based solution, coupled with real-time web data. It can also be trained to write in the user's unique style.

In early 2023, Opera redesigned and reengineered its flagship desktop browser into Opera One.
Opera has also added native AI features to Opera GX, its browser for gamers, and its flagship mobile browsers on Android and iOS.
Opera previously announced it will bring Opera One to iOS following the EU Digital Markets Act.
In February 2024, the company announced the launch of a new, fully green-energy-powered AI cluster in Keflavik, Iceland.
The new data centre is an Nvidia DGX SuperPOD, equipped with Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPUs that will all work as a single AI supercomputing cluster serving Opera's AI workloads.
