This New AI Web Browser Can Help You Write Code, Do All Your Work And More
AI agents are taking over the web browser to help you do basic and complex tasks and giving you the time to focus on other stuff.
Web browsers help you do the work, search for content and browse other sites. But what if they can help you with writing code for games, or even handle all your tasks? Yes, that's what Opera is promising with its new Neon AI web browser that will do more than just surfing the web. In fact, there is a good case for Opera Neon to be called as one of the AI agents that you might have heard a lot about these days.
AI agents have become the talk of town recently, and AI is taking away jobs of software engineers because of how good they have become at coding. Opera Neon claims similar traits and promises that the web browser can code for you to create games, make reports and even analyse them if you ask. Like most AI tools, Opera Neon responds to basic text prompts and it can get the job done at any time.
The company is relying on local and cloud-based AI tech to offer these features. AI agents are known for their multi-tasking prowess and Opera Neon will be at the top level with these tasks, especially when you are busy with something else and the job gets done.
It goes without saying that Opera sees the Neon AI browser to be a premium product which means people will be charged a fee to use the platform. The company has not shared those details as of now and using Neon is limited to people who have been cleared from the waiting list to try out the beta version.

Microsoft in Brazilian antitrust regulator's crosshairs after Opera complaint
Brazil's antitrust enforcer CADE has opened an investigation into Microsoft, days after Norwegian browser Opera complained about Microsoft's Edge, according to a CADE statement published late Thursday on its website. Opera, in its complaint filed on Tuesday, alleged that Microsoft pre-installs Edge as the default browser across Windows devices and computers, thereby preventing rivals from competing on the merits of the products. Opera had 6.78% of the Brazilian desktop browser market in June versus Edge's 11.52% and market leader Google Chrome's 75%. CADE said it had opened an administrative inquiry and set an August 15 deadline for Microsoft to respond to Opera's allegations about its Windows operating system licences, the Microsoft 365 software and its Jumpstart programme. The Jumpstart programme allows Microsoft clients to build autonomous artificial intelligence agents for routine tasks, a move which could help the company monetise its billion-dollar investments in AI. Other Big Tech companies have similar tools. Microsoft did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. Opera has been complaining about its competitor since December 2007 when it took its grievance about the latter's internet Explorer browser bundled with its Windows operating system to the European Commission, resulting in a 561-million-euro ($640 million) fine for the U.S. tech giant.

Microsoft hit with Opera complaint to Brazilian antitrust regulator
By Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS: Norwegian browser maker Opera filed a complaint about U.S. tech giant Microsoft to Brazilian antitrust authority CADE on Tuesday alleging its Edge browser has an unfair advantage, underscoring the long-running rivalry between the two companies. Opera complained to the European Commission in December 2007 about Microsoft tying its Internet Explorer browser to its Windows operating system. The case eventually ended with a 561 million-euro ($648 million) EU antitrust fine for the U.S. company. In July last year, Opera took the Commission to court for exempting Edge from the Digital Markets Act , which aims to rein in the power of Big Tech via a list of dos and don'ts. In its complaint to CADE seen by Reuters, Opera alleged that Microsoft's pre-installation of Edge as the default browser across Windows devices and computers prevents rivals from competing on the merits of the products. "Microsoft thwarts browser competition on Windows at every turn. First, browsers like Opera are locked out of important preinstallation opportunities," Opera's general counsel, Aaron McParlan, said in a statement. "And then Microsoft frustrates users' ability to download and use alternative browsers," he said. Microsoft had no immediate comment. Opera, which said it is the third-most popular PC browser in Brazil, added that Microsoft's alleged tactics included giving incentives to major PC manufacturers to pre-install Edge exclusively on Windows on all their Windows devices. Opera had 6.78% of the desktop browser market in Brazil in June, according to StatCounter, versus Edge's 11.52% while Google's Chrome held a commanding 75%. Opera also alleged that Microsoft used anti-competitive measures such as design tactics or dark patterns to steer PC users away from rival browsers to Edge. Opera called on CADE to investigate Microsoft and to demand concessions to ensure fair competition.
