Opera adds Browser Connector for integrating AI chatbots
TL;DR
Opera is offering a new choice for looping in an AI assistant during browsing.
Key Points
- 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.
- Opera is one of the many browser companies that has been experimenting with an AI-focused service.
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.
