I'm running Opera developer on Ubuntu version 23.10. I'm using Opera Developer version 111.0.5138.0.

Update stream:developer

When I try to toggle on Local AI Models (here:

), nothing happens. I get these errors in the console:

Unchecked runtime.lastError: Event won't fit schema: 'feature_events.event_ai'
{
   "action": "SettingChanged",
   "context": "Sidebar",
   "element": "AISetting",

}

   "symbols": [ "Unknown", "ChatGpt", "ChatSonic", "HelpChat", "ChatAlpha", "Aria" ],

}
Actual: [null] = 'null')

And:

Does anyone know why the local models are not working?
I have node and pip on my system and have used gpt4all and ollama successfully before.

Thanks!

@panosv Have you tried this?

@iiiiiillllliiiii Do you mean delete or deactivate uBlock Origin?

If so, you can go to
opera://extensions

And deactivate or disable extensions like uBlock Origin there.

Aria is based on ChatGPT and Google PaLM engine, with Google search integration. This means that whatever those two AI models give it (or 'her', as you may say) and whatever the top results on Google are is going to be a basis for what it tells you.

@davidf44 said in Aria results are biased left:

Looks like a few algorithms need to be adjusted.

Unfortunately, that isn't something Opera can do. That would be up to OpenAI and Google. While Opera could technically switch to a model like Claude or Llama, the results would be the same. Opera could only fix this issue by making their own AI model (a great undertaking indeed!).

I do have an “Unbiased” AI bot that you can test here:

BestCodes-Unbiased AI Model

I hope this is insightful.

@michaels911 Have you tried restarting Opera?

@kipperchau GPT is a generative-pretrained model, so it's used for talking. PaLM is more language based, so it's used for rephrasing.

Definitely the best ad/tracker blocker out there. I love the logger, too.

@john-viv Your message is inaccurate, and it looks like it's AI generated.

• To go to settings, press ALT + P or access it from the Opera menu in the top left.
• It's easier to search 'Aria' in settings. Regardless, it's not in the 'Features' section; the Aria settings are in 'AI services':
  
• Do Not use Aria in the sidebar. Aria currently can't get page context from there. Instead, CTRL + / (or CTRL + Shift + 7), then press Tab for page context and ask Aria to summarize the web page.
• Aria will not block your request (the Aria UI or AI model might refuse to answer, but Aria gets page data from the browser — if you can see the page, so can Aria).
• There aren't older versions of Opera that “kinda” support page context. It was supported in the version described in this blog post:
  https://blogs.opera.com/news/2024/03/new-ask-aria-ai-feature-drop-opera-one-page-context/

If you use AI to try to solve problems, you should at the very least make sure that the AI didn't lie to you.

I'm using Aria version 5.1 with Opera 114 Stable. The HTML shows this:

(No content in the blockquote element)

If I copy the text, I see this:

I wrote a quote by Saint Augustine: 

> "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." 

This quote encourages people to explore the world and experience different cultures, as there is so much to learn and discover beyond our own immediate surroundings. 

Which means that the issue is with the Markdown parser and not Aria's response, as @whisperer pointed out.

I manually set the HTML content and here is what the blockquote would look like:

Hopefully Opera fixes this soon!

@terryyy @TravelTales

AI is cool. Aria is based on GPT and PaLM models, so it does learn when you give it feedback and even from just talking to you. I believe that Opera would like feedback about errors in something like the rendering engine, UI, or other functionality of Aria like say if there was a bug in the “Copy” button or something like that. Best Regards!

I'm not sure who to reach out to about this, so I'm asking here on the forum. I am very interested in Opera's recent "Browser Connector" built on top of MCP:
https://press.opera.com/2026/04/16/opera-announces-browser-connector/
After playing around with it a bit, I was able to set it up with some other AI agents (rather than just the ChatGPT and Claude options available).

I maintain an MCP client, AgentOne, and I'm curious what the path looks like for third-party MCP clients such as mine to be officially supported like ChatGPT and Claude are. Is that even a possibility? Should I talk to someone on the team, and if so who? Thanks in advance!

The speed dial fix was much needed, thanks!

I do have an issue with Easy Files on Linux: The file popup always appears at the bottom of the screen and takes up the full width of the screen. Before the Easy Files revamp (a while ago), it would appear at the element that triggered the file input and not be so wide.

Awesome

Wow, this will actually be very useful for me

@Opera-Comments-Bot I remember Opera Neon for Windows a long time ago! The same name as this one but not the same purpose. It was basically really light and modern.
Anyway, this is cool!

Scrollbar is looking great

@mosinjack Glad you found it useful! Sadly it is only available in Opera Developer and Beta right now. I would love to get it in stable for everyone to use.

Is there anything you would change or improve about it?

@leocg I'm still waiting for this to be reviewed in Opera Stable over a year and a half later. Is there something I should do?

@miissjackson: Why not just switch to Opera (not Opera Air) then? It has themes and tab islands and stuff.

These are awesome, I love them!
