Opera rolls out Gemini-powered AI features across its browsers - 9to5Mac

Following the launch of Opera Neon, the company is now expanding some of its AI features to other browsers, including Opera GX and Opera One. Here's what's new. Opera announced today an expansion of its partnership with Google to integrate the latest Gemini models more deeply in its products. This means that now, not just Opera Neon, but also Opera One and Opera GX users will get access to the new Gemini-powered AI side panel that provides summaries, tab comparisons, and file/image/video analysis based on browsing context." Here's Opera on a few extra interesting tidbits from today's announcement: "Opera AI enables voice input and output, as well as file analysis on multiple file types, including image and video. The engine has been rebuilt for speed with a new architecture, adopting an agentic-based engine from Opera Neon. Because of this, it is capable of delivering 20% faster responses." For privacy-minded users, Opera says that its browsers offer full control over what is shared with the AI and what is kept off-limits through clear privacy controls. Here's Opera's EVP Commercial, Per Wetterdal, on today's announcement: "AI is reshaping how people interact with the web, and the browser is the natural entry point for those experiences. (...) Through our partnership with Google, we are able to offer users the experiences they really want through native search and AI features, for free, directly in their Opera One and Opera GX browsers while our most advanced users of the agentic Opera Neon browser are already getting access to Gemini 3 Pro." The company says that the new capabilities across Opera One, Opera GX and Opera Neon will bring the features to over 80 million users, and you can read more about today's announcement here.

Google Gemini AI Now Built Into Opera One and Opera GX Browsers

Opera has announced an expansion of its partnership with Google to integrate the latest Gemini AI models across much of its browser lineup. The expansion means the Gemini-powered side panel previously exclusive to Opera Neon is now freely available in the company's free-to-download Opera One and Opera GX browsers. By interacting with the side panel's AI chatbot, users can get contextually relevant answers based on the current webpage and group of webpages, as well as videos. Opera says responses can include easy research, content summaries, and comparisons between different tabs. In addition, Opera AI supports voice input and output, along with file analysis for multiple file types, including images and video. The company says the engine has been rebuilt for speed, with 20% faster responses thanks to the use of a new architecture that adopts an agentic-approach from Opera Neon. Opera also emphasizes that its privacy features ensure the user has full control over what context is shared with Opera AI and what is kept outside its awareness. "AI is reshaping how people interact with the web, and the browser is the natural entry point for those experiences," said Opera's EVP Commercial, Per Wetterdal. "Through our partnership with Google, we are able to offer users the experiences they really want through native search and AI features, for free, directly in their Opera One and Opera GX browsers while our most advanced users of the agentic Opera Neon browser are already getting access to Gemini 3 Pro." Many users have been critical of AI's creep into browsers, but Opera argues that browsing is the next AI frontier. "Unlike a standalone chat interface, the browser has access to real-time context such as a user's open tabs, page content, and browsing flows," says the company's press release. "This enables more relevant and efficient assistance, supporting task completion directly within the browsing experience."
