Thanks to this post from Doug Peterson I have spent the last hour putting the new Opera One browser through its paces. This is a developer pre-Alpha version, so not everything works. But most of it does. How much do I like it? A lot. The buzz about Opera One is the way it integrates AI functionality into the browsing experience. On the left you'll see a couple of tabs to open interfaces with ChatSonic and ChatGPT, but the real magic is behind the 'AI prompts' button on the upper right, which will do a bunch of different things with the web page you're viewing, depending on the web page, such as 'write a summary', 'compose a tweet', or 'write a rap song about it'. It also sharpens videos and photos on the fly. Opera also integrates social media and chat, audio streaming, a 'flow' interface with your devices and phone, and a crypto wallet. The only think missing is the web server functionality from the old Opera Unite browser, but I'm sure there could be a way to build that in.
