From digital errands to done: Opera unveils vision for agentic browsers to tackle web inefficiency and unlock massive productivity gains
Opera (NASDAQ:OPRA) has unveiled its vision for agentic browsers with the announcement of Opera Neon, set to launch publicly later in 2025. The new browser aims to transform passive web browsing into proactive task execution, potentially automating up to 30% of work hours.
Unlike traditional browsers, Opera Neon will act as an autonomous partner that understands and executes complex tasks across multiple platforms. The browser leverages AI to navigate websites, process information, and complete multi-step tasks automatically. This innovation follows Opera's successful integration of AI features like Aria browser AI, which has already gained millions of users since 2023.

Insights
Opera's agentic browser vision represents a significant AI-powered product innovation that could transform productivity and create new market opportunities.
Opera has announced a strategic pivot toward agentic browsers - a fundamental shift in how browsers function that could disrupt the entire browser market. While traditional browsers are passive windows requiring users to perform all tasks manually, Opera Neon aims to transform the browser into an autonomous agent that can understand and execute complex multi-step tasks across different websites and applications.
The technical innovation here centers on AI systems that can understand web interfaces, maintain context across multiple sites, and execute actions - essentially automating what previously required human intervention. The company claims this could automate up to
Opera's timing is strategic. By leveraging their experience integrating AI into browsers since 2023 with their Aria browser AI, they're building on established capabilities rather than starting from scratch. The limited release of Neon in May 2025 suggests they've been working on this technology for some time and are now confident enough to announce a public launch timeline.
The potential market impact is substantial. If Opera can deliver on this vision before competitors like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, they could capture significant market share in what has been a relatively stagnant browser landscape. The productivity gains promised could be particularly attractive to enterprise customers, potentially opening new revenue streams beyond Opera's traditional consumer focus.
What makes this particularly notable is that Opera is positioning this not as an incremental feature but as "the most significant evolution in human-computer interaction since the smartphone" - signaling their belief in the transformative potential of this technology and their commitment to reinventing their core product.
The need for this shift is hidden in plain sight. A knowledge worker switches between apps over 1,000 times a day, while consumers spend hours on multi-step tasks like booking a flight or managing finances. Opera believes agentic browsing represents the most significant evolution in human-computer interaction since the smartphone—a solution to an efficiency crisis that could automate up to
"We've spent three decades optimizing browsing and retrieving information and that works well. But what people really need now is help with task completion," said Krystian Kolondra, EVP at Opera. "The browser hasn't evolved from a page viewer into a task executor, and we are fixing that. This is a story about the fundamental inefficiency of how humans interact with the web, and Opera Neon is our first step towards fixing this crucial issue and finding a better way."
Unlike a traditional browser that passively waits for clicks, an agentic browser understands a user's goal and then autonomously works to achieve it. This move from a reactive tool to a proactive partner is made possible by developments in AI that allow the browser to understand web page layouts, reason through multi-step processes, and execute actions reliably.
Consider this task from the world of IT project management:
"You tell your browser: 'Check our Jira board for any P1 bugs still open for the mobile app release. Cross-reference with our Slack #engineering channel for recent updates, pull the latest user feedback from our support portal, and update the launch readiness document in Google Docs with the current status and risk assessment.'"
An agentic browser like Opera Neon would:
- Navigate and authenticate across Jira, Slack, the support portal, and Google Docs.
- Synthesize and reason through structured data, team chats, and user feedback to identify risks and dependencies.
- Take action by updating the launch document with a full summary, transforming an hour of manual work into a single command.
This journey toward an agentic browser is a natural progression for Opera, which began integrating AI into its flagship browser in 2023. After launching features like the Aria browser AI, used by millions, Opera introduced Neon in a limited release in May 2025 as the first browser capable of executing complex tasks.
"The shift to agentic browsing is a complete transformation of human-computer interaction," added Kolondra. "It's time for the browser to really start working for you, while you do something else."
Opera Neon is set to launch publicly later this year. To experience the future of browsing, join the waitlist at operaneon.com.
