The topic Opera extends the Browser Connector functionality to Opera One and Opera GX is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
Following last month’s launch of MCP compatibility in Opera Neon, Opera is now bringing its browser connector feature to Opera One and Opera GX. Here’s what that means.
A few weeks ago, Opera announced that Opera Neon, its subscription-based agentic browser, had gained MCP compatibility, allowing users to connect external AI tools directly to their live browsing sessions.
MCP is an open standard that connects AI models (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and, of course, Claude) to external systems (such as Notion, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, and Zapier).
Here’s Opera on the rollout of Browser Connector on Opera One and Opera GX:
Whether you are researching the best LED facemask to buy for your friend or performing research with dozens of open tabs, your AI of choice no longer needs you to provide it with the context: it can nowaccess and read page content, understand open tabs, and even take screenshots to analyze images or graphs-you can now allow Claude or ChatGPT to access your browser session.
Opera says that the feature, which lands today in Early Bird mode, reaffirms the company’s commitment to user choice, ensuring “users aren’t bound to a single company’s ecosystem, but are instead free to combine the best tools for their specific needs,” according to the data Mohamed Salah, Senior Director of Product at Opera.
To enable the Browser Connector feature, go to Settings, search for AI Services, install Browser Connector, then connect your preferred LLM.
