## Overview

Opera Neon is an agentic AI browser from Opera, the Oslo-based browser company. It reads the pages and tabs you have open, keeps related tabs together in shared-context workspaces called Tasks, and can carry out actions in your logged-in browser session, such as opening pages, filling forms, researching and creating content. Neon sits on top of the standard Opera browser features, including an ad blocker, a built-in VPN and sidebar messengers.

## Strengths

- Combines chat, browser actions, research and content creation in one browser rather than a separate extension.

- 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.

## Limitations

- 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.
