The danger is that this feels a bit like Opera is seizing the opportunity to crowbar in AI as a selling point to push adoption versus its big Chromium-based rivals, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The only feature now present in testing is that ‘shorten’ button (basically a TL DR option at your fingertips for any web page). Of course, the AI aspect is what folks will focus on as it’s very much the hot topic right now, although there isn’t much AI in here to begin with. There are some neat introductions here, then, and the broad idea is to achieve a much better-organized browsing experience – with a more streamlined and responsive interface – all infused with the power of AI. They shrink down into a compact and neat vertical bar that can be clicked on to expand all the tabs again, thereby helping you manage when you have a lot of tabs open, doing all this automatically. Say you open a few different Instagram pages for example, these will automatically be grouped together (and color-coded), and if you wish, you can collapse that group to get the tabs temporarily out of the way. Tab Islands is a further major introduction here, which is groups of related tabs. Regarding the UI, as mentioned Opera One is adopting a multithreaded compositor, which is a fancy way of saying that transitions between pages and animations will be more smoothly rendered and generally better looking. The broad idea is for a modular interface that clears unneeded bits of functionality out of the way, making for a more streamlined and uncluttered experience. Opera One will also dynamically adapt to the needs of the user, as Ghacks (opens in new tab) reports, adjusting its interface based on what’s currently being done or viewed in the browser.
Song Lin, Co-CEO of Opera, commented (opens in new tab): “Following the mass interest in generative AI tools, we believe it’s now time for browsers to step up and become the gateway to an AI-powered web”.
