Opera One is a new browser that has been recently released by Opera with a focus on generative AI features. Its sleek and simple design has ample space for future extensions and AI capabilities in its sidebar and address bar. The browser has been developed using new modular design principles and a multithreaded compositor, which enables a fresh batch of features such as “tab islands.”
This feature groups open websites based on their content automatically, creating islands of tabs that contain similar types of pages. For example, all pages with restaurant details will be grouped in one island, and all tabs with Google Docs will be in another island. This feature is aimed at reducing confusion and making it easier to switch between different tasks while working on the browser.

Opera conducted research and found that users often get overwhelmed with the number of tabs they have open and wished their browsers could do more for them. Opera One’s tab islands are designed to address this problem, and users can manually group pages together per their preferences. Tab islands are just the beginning of Opera’s modular design strategy, and more similarly designed features are expected to be introduced in the future.
Apart from tab islands, Opera One also comes with AI features like ChatGPT, ChatSonic, and AI Prompts enabled by default. The sidebar integration of these AI chatbots allows users to quickly launch them in a separate window within the browser. The AI Prompts feature suggests different ways to transform the text on a page using the chatbots, such as turning a piece of text into a soap opera dialogue or extracting information to create quiz questions.
Overall, Opera One is a browser that has been designed with a focus on generative AI features and offers a cleaner and more intuitive user experience. With its unique features like tab islands and AI chatbots, Opera One aims to provide a more efficient and personalized browsing experience to its users.
