@opera HALLELUJAHHHHHHH

YouTube & Twitch in the sidebar hallelujah Video Popout hallelujah Volume Booster hallelujah

To make multitasking on Opera even smoother, we gave our Video Popout a major upgrade: • Expanded app coverage like Zoom • Custom per-site controls • Easier permission and settings • It matches your browser theme

Your Opera browser just became your best streaming setup! Opera One now has: • @ YouTube & @ Twitch in the Sidebar • Native Volume Booster up to 500% • Upgraded Video Popout Here’s what it actually means:

How to use it: When audio is playing in a tab, hover over the tab and you’ll see the Volume Booster slider, tweak it to your liking and it’s done. When you close the tab, the volume safely resets back to 100%

Ever find a great video that’s just way too quiet? Well that’s no longer going to be a problem. Our new native Volume Booster lets you hit 500% volume without extensions. It’s like a software "hardware upgrade" for your laptop speakers.

You now get one-click access to YouTube and Twitch from the Sidebar of the browser. You can also pin the Sidebar panel to watch the video side-by-side, or click on the Video Popout icon to continue watching in a floating overlay. No more tab-switching mid-watching.

@georgatutkwengo this is off by default. You have to enable it through the settings, if you want.

@opera I won't be using your browser then

Stop copy-pasting. Let ChatGPT & Claude connect to your browsing & use it as context: Browser Connector arrives in Opera One & GX (in Early Bird) • Past: You open 12 tabs researching. You switch to ChatGPT/ Claude and… explain the context all from scratch • Now: ChatGPT/Claude speaks with your browsing context in real time & uses it for your tasks

@Spartan0525117 this is off by default. You have to enable it through the settings, if you want.

@opera Can we have an option to not have this connect?? Please

@beemoh this is off by default. you can enable it through the settings, if wanted.

@opera How can I switch this off?

New with Browser Connector: Claude & ChatGPT can now connect to your Opera One & GX browser, using it as real time context via MCP In this example → Claude reopens tabs from history & helps create a presentation No more copy-pasting. Available in early bird.

Available now in Opera One and GX (in Early Bird). Enable it through the settings with Early Bird, connect your AI, and finally stop explaining your browser to your AI.

The real problem the Browser Connector solves: Let’s say you’re reading something, or comparing across tabs. Normally, you would copy, paste, explain and repeat. Although AI is improving, your current setup hasn’t caught up yet. Now, with Browser Connector, your AI can access your open tabs, read context, and take screenshots when needed. So, it understands what you’re looking at, instantly.

@9to5mac @mvcmendes the time has come to stop copy-pasting when you use AI and let the AI you use actually gain context from your browser
