Opera One now lets Mac users run Apple’s on-device AI model directly in the browser via Web AI, a proposed standard backed by Google and Microsoft. The feature is opt-in, requires no subscription, and keeps data local. Users can access Google’s Gemma and Apple’s foundation model for tasks like text generation, content classification, and relationship identification. Opera GX and Neon will follow. Developers can build AI features without infrastructure costs. Example extensions are available to explore capabilities.
Opera also launched HTML-in-Canvas, enabling developers to embed interactive web pages into 2D and 3D scenes. Buttons, menus, and forms remain functional even when moving. Demos include Webpage Bulldozer and Gamer Room, both runnable in Opera browsers without setup.
