Opera Neon: Opera's agentic browser, plans and limits

Three ways to work with AI

Opera Neon is one of the new AI browsers, but it goes further than adding a chat sidebar. It is organized around three tools:

• Neon Chat, the built-in conversational assistant, with a free basic version;
• Neon Do, an AI agent that browses, clicks and fills in forms. It runs locally in the browser but relies on cloud models; it shows its planned steps, and you can pause or redirect it;
• Neon Make, which produces content: deep research, images, video, and code with deployment options.

“Tasks” group tabs that share a common context, and “Cards” store reusable instructions. The free version also includes an MCP connector for linking the browser to other AI tools, along with a command-line interface.

Free versus Standard

	Free	Standard ($19.90/month)
Neon Chat, Neon Do and Make	Basic chat, lower limits	Higher limits
Deep research, image and video	No	Yes
Scheduled tasks, long-term memory	No	Yes
Google connectors, full model choice	No	Yes
Ad blocker, free VPN, MCP connector	Yes	Yes

Standard is billed monthly with applicable taxes included, no commitment, and needs an Opera account. Opera lists models including GPT-5.5, Opus, Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, Veo 3.1 and Sora 2. In practice, the free version is a way to get to know the interface; the agents only really pay off with the subscription.

What happens to your data

Opera says your logins, passwords, payment cards and cookies stay on your device. Page content processed by the AI goes to Opera’s and OpenAI’s servers and is deleted from Opera’s servers after 365 days. Opera says it never trains models on user data. The pages we checked don’t state how long OpenAI keeps that content.

The risk that comes with agents

Like every agentic browser, Neon Do reads pages it doesn’t control. A booby-trapped page can try to hijack it through prompt injection while it acts with your logged-in sessions. Being able to watch and stop its steps helps, as long as you actually follow them: that’s the human-in-the-loop principle. Don’t leave it unattended on banking tasks.
