Opera Neon (free tier + Browser CLI)
Opera's agentic AI browser dropped its paid-only model to become a free download with an MCP connector and CLI.
Overview
In August 2026, Opera Neon changed its business model from paid-only to a free download, letting users plug existing AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) into the browser via its MCP connector and a new Opera Browser CLI, rather than requiring Opera's own bundled agent credits.
