Opera has launched Browser Connector, a new feature enabling Opera One and Opera GX users to integrate ChatGPT or Claude directly into their browser. The AI assistants can access page content and draw context from open tabs.

Browser Connector lets users leverage AI chatbots without switching tabs or windows. The feature provides ChatGPT and Claude access to the content users are currently browsing, allowing the assistants to answer questions with relevant context from open pages. The integration is free and available immediately. Users can enable it through the AI Services section of the Settings menu in both Opera One and Opera GX browsers. The move positions Opera alongside other browsers adding AI capabilities. As the browser market increasingly incorporates AI tools, Opera's approach focuses on seamless integration rather than developing its own chatbot. This allows users to choose between OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude based on preference. The feature works across both Opera's standard and gaming-focused browsers, expanding access to users regardless of which version they prefer.
