Opera unveiled its vision for proactive, 'agentic browsers' designed to perform tasks for users, aiming to tackle web inefficiency and unlock massive productivity gains. This strategic shift moves beyond traditional passive browsing, where users manually navigate between tabs and apps.
The company's first agentic browser, Opera Neon, is set for public launch later in 2025, bringing this vision to life. Opera believes agentic browsing represents the most significant evolution in human-computer interaction since the smartphone, with the potential to automate up to 30% of work hours and create billions in value.
Krystian Kolondra, EVP at Opera, emphasized that the browser's role is transforming from a page viewer to a task executor, understanding user goals and autonomously working to achieve them. This is made possible by advancements in AI that allow the browser to comprehend web page layouts, reason through multi-step processes, and execute actions reliably.
