Opera Unveils AI Browser Operator & Web Automation

The Gist: Opera has introduced the world’s first fully integrated agentic AI browser assistant, Browser Operator, at MWC 2025. Unlike OpenAI’s Operator and Rabbit R1’s LAM Playground, it operates directly within the browser, offering faster, more secure automation.

Key Details:

• Browser Operator is part of Opera’s Aria AI system, allowing users to automate web tasks.

• It processes actions in 4-6 seconds, nearly twice as fast as competitors.

• Users can interrupt or refine tasks mid-process, improving flexibility.

• Opera aims to shift browsers from passive display tools to interactive AI agents.
