A year or so ago I wanted to replace Google Chrome as my main browser. Why? First I was unsure and uncomfortable with the potential amount of data shared with Google. Second Chrome now reminds me too much of Internet Explorer in the 90s and early 2000s, where certain websites and features would only work in one browser, going against the entire concept of an open internet.
Opera Neon is a new browser with an AI assistant that interacts with web pages on your behalf, completing tasks that typically require manual clicking, typing, and navigation. In this post, I test the browser with real tasks to see how well it performs.
