Opera Opens Access to Its Experimental AI Browser Neon

Opera has made the experimental Neon browser publicly available — previously, it was distributed by invitation only. Now any user can install Neon, but the product runs on a subscription priced at $19.90 per month.

Neon is a browser in which artificial intelligence is built directly into the interface and continuously analyzes what is happening in tabs. The AI takes into account page context, browsing history, and the content of videos and posts, forming a unified understanding of what the user is working on.

The browser can, for example, reconstruct details of a video watched several days earlier or suggest materials related to recent queries. Conceptually, Neon is close to solutions such as Comet or Atlas, but Opera is focusing not on an external assistant, but on deep AI integration into the browser’s architecture itself.

Neon offers cards for recurring actions, thematic research, and a Tasks space — workspaces where tabs and AI are combined into a shared context and “understand” the user’s current task.

The subscription includes access to several AI models, including Gemini 3 Pro, GPT-5.1, Veo 3.1, and Nano Banana Pro, as well as advanced features and an invitation to a private Discord chat with the developers. The browser is updated weekly and regularly receives new AI capabilities, while the classic versions of Opera remain free and offer only a basic set of AI features.

The Neon project is positioned as an experimental platform where Opera is testing the future of browsers with AI as the central element of the user experience.
