Opera has finally launched Opera One R2, a new version of its flagship browser that comes with integrated AI features. The standout characteristics of Opera One, released in 2023, are its modular design and AI capabilities.
The new browser version introduces a range of interesting new features and improvements. Here are the details:
Features of Opera One R2
Opera One R2 offers users even more customization options through dynamic themes that allow them to personalize their browsing experience with static or animated interfaces, sound effects, and background music. These themes go beyond simple color changes or background images to provide a complete transformation of the software’s appearance and style.
Three themes have been released with Opera One R2: Classic, Midsommar, and Aurora. These themes come with a multidimensional color picker that enables internet users to experiment with different combinations to find the ideal look for their browser. Users can even adjust the intensity of the generated animations in real time.
Users can enjoy real-time generated animations or static backgrounds, custom interface colors, and even in-browser sounds and music. For example, the Midsommar theme includes background music, with more options planned for the future. The browser interface is transformed with a new frosted glass design that integrates with the background in the Midsommar theme.
The Split Screen and Tab Tracking features of the Opera One R2 app aim to improve tab management. Split Screen allows users to merge two tabs and divide the screen to open both simultaneously. Tab Tracking provides visual cues about the last five visited tabs, making it easy to manage by users who have more than thirty tabs open.
Additionally, music and video controls allow users to move the music player and video pop-up on the screen for easier access. This feature also works during video calls; music played before a Google Meet meeting will pause and slow down during the call, resuming afterward.
On the AI front, users can enjoy a more robust command-line interface that makes it easier to access Aria’s capabilities outside the chat box. By pressing Ctrl+/ or Cmd+/ to open the command line, users can enter Page Content mode and allow Aria to summarize a page’s topic, analyze an article, and even compare products while shopping online.
