Opera Neon agentic AI browser finally becomes available to everyone, but there's a catch

Today, Opera has announced that it's opening up public access to Opera Neon, which is its experimental browser for AI power users, "who wish to get access and make the most of the newest AI technologies as they emerge".

Neon has been available in a closed "Founders" phase since October 2 - think of it like a closed beta. Now we're in the open beta phase, and anyone can join - on Windows and Mac.

Neon is described by its maker as "an agentic browser". It uses AI agents to perform tasks and even code web apps rather than just display web pages. It also gives you access to Gemini 3 Pro and GPT 5.1.

All of this will cost you $19.90 per month, however. It's still cheaper than subscribing to both ChatGPT and Gemini, though, and you do get access to both.
