    Sheesh, Opera remember when Opera was the best choice for users with slow internet? Remember the great built-in email client and XMPP clients? Now…this?

    I don’t get what generative ai could add to my browsing experience. How ever I do think it makes a good search engine.

          Yeah but you can tell from the context that search results are just a list of random web pages that maybe what Google says is bollocks.

          Google gives you a bunch of results and says “here, look at these”. LLMs confidently tell you things that they may have simply made up and present them as if they’re real.

          Google actually pulls results from web pages.

          you know how some smartphone keyboards predict the next word that you’re going to use, and you can form a comprehensible sentence that sometimes even makes sense by simply tapping the next word on the prediction bar over and over? that’s what those language models do. they don’t actually search for anything, they just create sequences of words that sound probable.

            It seems that Bing chat bot searches then reads the results and gives you the answer.

            I know it’s basically predictive text but if the prompt contains a relevant info then the predictive text is likely to be the answer you’re looking for so it works well.

      I’d use some sort of generative “find on page” or “summarize page” where I could have a quick Q/A without needing to read a long article.

    I already don’t trust a Chinese browser in of itself, so I’m sure as hell not going to trust a Chinese browser with an integrated AI.

    Who gave the approval on the
    “OPE-
    RA
    ONE”

    It’s bad, really bad. If they wanted to have it split they could have at least played with it like this:
    “OP
    ERA
    ONE”
    Make it sound like the new browser is OP and it’s the era of ONE, One Opera. But you know, whatever.

    Am game as long as the AI runs locally, and doesn’t siphon every website I visit to their server.

    They changed the UI a bit, added 2 useless features and called it a day. Who the hell needs 5 different browsers?
