Opera One Browser Launches on iOS With Aria AI Integration, Voice Input, Image Generation, and More

Opera has released its artificial intelligence-powered Opera One browser for iOS, following several weeks in beta testing.

opera one browser
The iPhone app mimics the minimalist aesthetic of the company's desktop browser, and "intelligently hides unnecessary elements" to make the browsing experience free from distractions. When scrolling on a page, for example, the browser hides the bottom and the top bar for a full-screen view.

The search bar sits at the bottom of the interface for easier access, provides quick search suggestions while typing, and includes Aria AI assistant integration. There's also a new swipe-to-search gesture that lets users activate the search bar with a simple swipe down, similar to when users search for apps from the ‌iPhone‌'s Home Screen via Spotlight. The placed search bar is the default option, but users can alternatively choose Standard Navigation or Fast Action Button style.

Aria can assist with a wide range of tasks, from web searches to generating text and images, according to Opera. With Voice Input, Aria allows users to speak queries instead of typing them, making it convenient when on the move or in need of hands-free operation. Aria can also create images using Google's Imagen2 model, enabling users to generate visuals simply by providing a prompt.


Additionally, there's a new start page carousel that is designed to keep users informed without cluttering up the interface, integrating news, live scores, and product tips into the wallpaper background. Opera also includes a built-in ad blocker, a free VPN service, and several theme customization options.

Opera One for iOS comes just over a year after its debut on desktop, and can be downloaded from the App Store for free [Direct Link].

People DO understand that Opera is now a Chinese botnet, and the real Opera is now called Vivaldi, right?

Downloaded, hated the UI, uninstalled.
Just like I do with most browsers with new features: if it feels bad because they tried to reinvent the wheel with the interface, I'm out.
Maybe I'm getting old...

This Sinophobia you guys all have is quite interesting to me lol
I don't know what Sinophobia is but I know that "Opera" collects more data about me than Google Chrome. I'm happy for you if this doesn't bother you but others could take an issue with this, especially if they are with Apple because of privacy

People know that Opera is a Norwegian company. Under Norwegian Law and GDPR. It's under the SAME PRIVACY LAW as Vivaldi, and the HQ is in the same city, Oslo (the Capital of Norway).

Opera is a publicly-traded subsidiary incorporated in Norway. It's parent company (the major shareholder) is indeed a Chinese company. But, since Opera is incorporated in Norway, it should be governed by Norwegian laws, not China's. You'll probably need to ask a lawyer that knows about Opera, its shareholders and international law to see if China even has any jurisdiction in this case. It's not.

Then, even if China doesn't have any legal jurisdiction, you'll have to consider the risk of the major shareholder illegally obtaining data somehow, if China ever decides to give a crap about Opera and compel the major shareholder to try and illegally obtain data. There's no evidence that anything like that is going on.

According to Opera's Privacy Policy, Opera does share some info about its users to its partners. Opera is funded by ads and partnerships after all. Most of it is anonymized and a few things are specific like IP ranges or location or IP address in some case. But, there's nothing funky going on like stealing your session cookies or your usernames and passwords or your save payment methods or your crypto wallets or anything crazy like that. Opera isn't logging your keystrokes and scraping your screen or anything insane like that. Just normal stats/metrics for advertising/partners.

Also keep in mind that in the U.S. for example, the government can compel U.S. company's to share some data when requested for legal reasons. So, it's not like any U.S. companies are completely safe from their own government.

Any proofs or just "trust me bro"? Opera has to use the strict EU privacy laws.
