Opera's Android browser gets 'Ask AI'—here's what's new

Technology

Opera just dropped an update for its Android browser, adding a handy "Ask AI" feature right in the address bar.
Now you can chat with different AI models, ask questions, upload images or PDFs, and even share tabs for instant translation or quick summaries—all without leaving your browser.

What can "Ask AI" actually do?

Powered by Opera's rebuilt AI engine (with some help from Google's Gemini), "Ask AI" gives you answers up to 20% faster.
It works with voice input and output, plus it can handle images and videos for analysis—so it's not just about text anymore.

Privacy still matters

Opera says your privacy is safe: the AI only sees what you choose to share (like specific tabs), not your browsing history or personal info.
The update is live on the Play Store if you want to try it out.

How does it stack up?

"Ask AI" goes head-to-head with Perplexity's Comet browser and Chrome's Gemini features.
But Opera stands out for baking these tools directly into the browser—and making sure nothing gets shared unless you say so.
