Opera is strengthening its strategy around artificial intelligence, with
the integration of the latest Gemini models at the heart of its three browsers: Opera One, Opera GX and Opera Neon.
Behind this initiative lies a clear conviction: that the browser has become
the preferred environment for leveraging AI , far more than just a standalone interface.
Opera’s announcement also follows the ongoing partnership between Opera and Google , which now allows them to extend Gemini’s capabilities to a substantial user base of 80 million …
Gemini templates tailored to each browser
Last month, Opera was already reporting record growth , thanks in particular to the arrival of the browser choice screen that Apple had to implement.
Opera now intends to go even further, and with this integration, Opera One and Opera GX include Gemini 2.0 within their AI suite, Aria . Opera Neon subscribers, positioned as an agentic browser, gain access to Gemini 3 Pro, the most advanced version offered by Google.
According to Opera, this change opens the way to new contextualized interactions , such as automatic summaries, tab comparison, and analysis of files, images, or even videos.
The publisher mentions a redesigned engine, capable of providing 20% faster responses , while integrating complete voice capabilities, from input to audio playback.
Per Wetterdal , Opera’s vice president and chief commercial officer, emphasizes this technological coherence. For him, AI natively integrated into the browser meets current expectations, offering simplified search, continuous assistance, and direct access to high-performance models.
AI designed for context… and for confidentiality
In its announcement, Opera also advocates an approach where AI becomes a reflex during navigation , particularly with the arrival of browsers like ChatGPT Atlas from OpenAI, or Comet from Perplexity .
Now, the Aria panel can be used at any time to analyze a page, a group of open sites, or multimedia content. By leveraging the browsing context, the AI promises more accurate answers than an external chatbot, which is necessarily disconnected from the tabs displayed in the browser.
The other key point emphasized by Opera concerns privacy. The company reiterates that its browsers give users complete control over the information they share with AI. This is a way to reassure a public concerned about the management of personal data, especially at a time when AI is proliferating.
For Opera, this development confirms the browser’s role as a gateway to new digital uses. This strategy could well redefine the place of AI in the everyday web experience.
