If you've been waiting for a better conjunction of web browser and AI, the wait is almost over, thanks to Opera.

It's not just search engines and chatbots getting AI makeovers these days. Web browsers want in on the revolution. Opera, the company behind the web browser, unveiled a new update, Browser Operator, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday that automates tasks for users.

Interest in AI agents that can peruse the internet on your behalf has ticked up of late, partly thanks to OpenAI's Operator, along with Browser Use and the recently released Proxy 1.0. Popular browser provider Opera has joined in to offer a tool that will actively do tasks on the web for you.
