Key Features of Opera One
Here are the key features of Opera One:

Redesigned modular look
With a newer version of any software, you expect a modification in its look and feel. The same is with Opera One. It now has a modular design with a dynamic interface. In it, you get a sidebar where elements like social media apps, AI services, and more are adjusted automatically as you add more elements to it. I personally liked its look and feel more than the Opera. It is modernized and nicely redesigned.

The first AI-powered browser with native AI tools
Opera One’s developers have referred to it as the “first browser with native AI” and “the first AI-powered browser.” This is because it contains native AI features that are going to better your browsing experience.
Aria, which is a browser AI built on Opera’s AI engine, is the native AI chatbot function in Opera One. Just like ChatGPT, it is based on several Large Language Models i.e. Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) built by OpenAI. You can interact with this chatbot and ask anything from it. It provides information on asked topics and generates ideas to help users.
To use Aria in Opera One, you just need to sign up for it and then you can start using it right from the home page of the browser. It is added to the sidebar in the browser as shown in the above screenshot. You can click on it and then start chatting with Aria.
If you are browsing and you want to evoke Aria, you can press the Ctrl + / hotkey to open the Aria prompt. You can enter a query or anything in the box and it will generate the response accordingly. If you want, you can regenerate a response and copy a response.
You can also pin the aria prompt in the sidebar while continuing to browse.
Furthermore, you can also enable ChatGPT and ChatSonic AI services in the sidebar. Just right-click on the empty part in the sidebar and choose the Sidebar setup option. Next, under AI Services, enable/disable AI services as per your need. You can also add extensions, Opera tools, Messenger apps, and more features to the sidebar to quickly access them.
