Does Opera Aria still work, or is there a way to manage tabs on Opera. With Opera Aria we had the option of using commands to clean out tabs? Opera Aria doesn't seem to work on recent versions anymore, are there any alternatives?

Apparently Opera has worked with Google to include Gemini AI in Opera AI, but it reports:I do not have the capability to directly close browser tabs for you, as I cannot control your browser's interfaceChatGPT has an ability to assess and delete open tabs in Opera ...
(Claude, too, apparently)You have to create accounts for Opera and ChatGPT, install an Opera Extension 'Opera Browser Connector' .
(Look for an [Install] button in Opera Settings > AI, and more switches in Settings > Early Bird).
Then install the ChatGPT PlugIn 'Opera Browser Connector', and go back-and-forth authenticating.It lets you access Opera from ChatGPT, not the other way round.
Mention 'Opera tabs' in your prompt and it should invoke automatically.
Or Click + in ChatGPT inbox to select 'Opera Browser Connector' explicitly.
Or begin your prompt "Hello Opera: ..."
It seems "Hello Opera: ..." loads a 'Greeting' when first run, as part of the install/authenticate process?
I half-remember you can use "@Opera: ..." but it didn't seem to work today ...Of course, you can run ChatGPT in the Opera SideBar, but install and authenticate is easier in full-screen web UI.
I don't know how well it works: the ChatGPT PlugIn lets you select how much access you give.

How to set up Opera Browser Connector for ChatGPT
I think it works in Opera Air and GX as well as the main One and Developer versions of Opera, but Opera Neon has its own approach to AI.
'Opera Browser Connector' seems to lump all tabs from all windows of all Opera browsers together, as far as I can see. Best to only run one browser at once?




Even set to 'Never' disconnect, it sometimes needs to be hooked-up again!

Oddly, the GX flavor of Opera browser website is pushing AI tab management as a feature, this week!
I am updating, to test ...Maybe gamers are considered not-risk-averse enough to not just close tab islands manually?




Tested.
Failed.
"I am an AI assistant and do not have the capability to directly close tabs in your browser."
ChatGPT does.
