Pros and cons

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.

Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)

Pros

  • Free plan with unlimited Tab completions and inline edits
  • Full IDE that stays compatible with VS Code and Windsurf extensions
  • One view for managing local, cloud and third-party agents
  • Supports ACP agents such as Codex, Claude Agent and OpenCode
  • Available on macOS, Windows and Linux

Cons

  • Paid plans have daily and weekly usage quotas, and extra usage is billed at API pricing
  • Pro rose to $20 per month, and Max costs $200 per month
  • The rename and the move to devin.ai changed menus, docs and branding, and some names such as the JetBrains plugin still say Windsurf
  • Cascade was retired in favour of Devin Local, so Cascade workflows had to migrate
