Opera adds Browser Connector for integrating AI chatbots
TL;DR
Opera is offering a new choice for looping in an AI assistant during browsing. Today, the company introduced Browser Connector, which allows Opera One and Opera GX users to integrate either ChatGPT or Claude into the platform. The chatbots will be able to access page content while a person is browsing and will draw context for queries from the information in your open tabs. The free new feature can be enabled through the AI Services section of the Settings menu.
Nauti's Take
Browser Connector gives users real control: choose ChatGPT or Claude for in-browser AI without being locked into Opera's own ecosystem. The risk is that the AI gets access to all open tabs — useful, but raises questions about data sharing with third-party providers.
Power users with a clear model preference benefit most; anyone with sensitive tabs open should toggle the connector selectively.
