Pros and cons

Cursor

Pros

  • Familiar VS Code-based editor with extension and keybinding support
  • Local and cloud agents that can run in parallel on multi-file tasks
  • Choice of models from several providers, including Cursor's own
  • Covers editor, CLI, web, Slack, iOS and PR review in one product
  • Privacy mode and SOC 2 and ISO certifications for team use

Cons

  • Third-party model usage is billed separately from the plan at API list price
  • Pricing is bundled with Grok and uses weekly usage pools, which makes costs harder to predict
  • No Android app, and the iOS app only controls local agents
  • Indexing can be heavy on very large repositories

Opera Neon

Pros

  • Combines chat, browser actions, research and content creation in one browser rather than a separate extension.
  • Neon Do shows its plan and actions in real time and can be paused or taken over.
  • Wide model choice across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and open-weight models on the Standard plan.
  • MCP connector and CLI let external agents such as Claude Code or n8n use a live browser session.
  • Credentials, passwords and card details are stated to stay on the device, and Opera says it does not train on user data.
  • Free VPN and ad blocker are included in the browser.

Cons

  • Full agentic features need the $19.90 per month Standard plan, higher than many AI add-ons.
  • Windows and macOS only; no Linux, iOS or Android version yet.
  • Neon Do uses cloud LLMs to plan, and page content is sent to Opera and OpenAI servers with 365-day retention.
  • Opera itself calls Neon an experimental agentic browser, so behaviour and plan limits may change.
