@b25zero1 said in Can Aria actually surf the web and have access to the web content?:

The Aria feature page https://www.opera.com/features/aria
seems to suggest that Aria has access to the current displayed web page and its content.
the page touts:

"real-time access to the web"
"No more digging through webpages for the info you need. Aria gives you clear answers instantly"
"Opera’s free AI is connected to the web"

but everytime I summon it or asked information, even as simple as "summarize" I get this warning

"I don't have access to information about the current page you are viewing or your location."
"I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for that. Please rephrase your question or provide more details."

So which one is? Does Aria have or not access to the webpage displayed in an opera tab and can we ask questions about it?
thanks

Great question! While the Aria feature page suggests real-time web access, Aria doesn't currently have direct access to the content of the tab you're viewing. You’d need to copy and paste the page content or link into the chat for it to provide a summary or answer questions about it.

Hopefully that clears things up!

@Olsens said in Text related to politics triggers the Terms of Service:

If you are composing a text related to politics, even when you refrain from using derogatory language, mentioning the political situations of two distinct nations like the USA and China, Aria's terms of service prevent your text from being adjusted or rewritten. In contrast, when I input the same text into other AI platforms such as Gemini, DeepSeek, Grammarly, or Ahrefs, they successfully rewrite it.
The tool becomes inefficacious when it imposes numerous limitations for functionality. The terms of service often hinder progress.
Is discussing a nation's policies offensive? Can we not critique or commend them with logical reasoning? We are all adults attempting to utilize a tool that assists in rewriting our content in a different language, yet this AI fails to meet that need.
I have been using this browser for a considerable amount of time and was unaware of this feature until recently. Upon discovering it, I also learned about alternative options available online, I can use Gemini through Google Chrome, which offers me the liberty to write freely and provides the adjustments I need.
Given this situation, my only recourse is to switch browsers. I appreciate this feature, but due to Opera's many restrictions, I need to move on to other similar applications that can deliver precisely what I'm looking for.
You fail.

I understand your frustration with the limitations on political content. While these restrictions are in place for compliance, it's important to find tools that suit your needs. Thanks for sharing your feedback, and I hope you find the right solution.

@NathanWwhitewolf said in Opera GX gets new Aria AI features:

Agreed she's the worst. Even when walking on a mountain of eggshells with triple white gloves, she takes offence, it's ridiculous and alienating

Yeah, that sounds exhausting. Even with the softest approach—like tiptoeing on eggshells in triple-layer gloves—it’s frustrating when it’s still not enough.

@hamapkehaikon said in issues with sync:

I turned of sync in my opera gx like 4 months ago. Today i accindetaly turned it on all my settings , bookmarks , passwords got reverted settings 4 months ago. How can i fix these.

Sync brought back old data from 4 months ago. If you didn’t back up your recent settings, they might be lost. Try checking Opera's user data folder or contact Opera support for help.
