Start browsing without interruptions: Opera’s built-in Ad Blocker has been upgraded to create a faster, more convenient browsing experience from the moment users open a tab. With a fully rebuilt engine, utilising uBlock lists and filters, the Ad Blocker now works better than ever, bringing industry standard blocking directly into Opera. And because it’s fully native, there’s no need for extensions, installation or prior setup knowledge. Users simply turn it on. The upgrade is part of our ongoing effort to make Opera the best browser for video streaming. By reducing interruptions, improving page loading times, and minimising intrusive ads, we’re creating a more comfortable experience for our users. At the same time, Opera’s Ad blocker continues to give users full control. Users can choose to whitelist websites of their choice, while still enjoying the Ad Blocker everywhere else.

Opera Browser now has an improved video streaming experience. Whether you’re starting a video, joining a call, or keeping a stream open while you work, these updates are designed to make that experience even better. Users can now access YouTube & Twitch from the sidebar with one click, making it easier to keep content open while browsing. Videos can also be pinned side by side, or moved into a floating overlay using Video Popout (so you don’t have to switch tabs while watching). Audio has also been improved with a new native Volume Booster. This allows users to increase volume up to 500% directly in the browser, without relying on extensions. The control appears when audio is playing in a tab and resets automatically when the tab is closed. What’s new:  • YouTube & Twitch in the sidebar for quick access and side-by-side viewing  • Native Volume Booster up to 500%, built directly in the browser  • Upgraded Video Popout, with broader app support, including Zoom These updates are now available in Opera One!

Browser Connector arrives in Opera One and GX - in Early Bird. A common frustration when working with AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude is the need to constantly re-explain context all the time. Users move between tabs, acting like the person-in-the middle, gathering context and copy-pasting. With Browser Connector, now available in Opera One and Opera GX (Early Bird), that setup is no longer necessary. Users can now connect their browser directly to ChatGPT or Claude via Modal Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI access to real-time browsing context. This means: - No more copy-pasting context between tabs and AI tools - Your AI can read your open tabs, pages, history and understand the context you're viewing - It can take screenshots when needed to interpret visuals or complex information - Users always stay in control, choosing what it can access The result is a more continuous workflow. Users can start researching, comparing or reading, and bring AI into that process, without losing momentum. Learn more: https://opr.as/be5cc8
