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

Update stream:developer
System:Ubuntu 23.10 (x86_64; ubuntu:GNOME)
Chromium version:124.0.6356.6

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/111.0.0.0 (Edition developer)

Install:	/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-developer
Profile:	/home/XXXX/.config/opera-developer/Default
Cache:	/home/XXXX/.cache/opera-developer/Default

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!

@masaoliu I visited hearty.me and the issue began on my device. To resolve it, I went to
opera://serviceworker-internals/ opera://serviceworker-internals/. Then, I pressed CTRL + F and searched for “hearty” and related terms (“.me”, etc.). I found this:

Scope: https://hearty.me/
Storage key:
Ancestor chain bit: SameSite
Registration ID: 93
Navigation preload enabled: false
Navigation preload header length: 4
Active worker:
Installation Status: ACTIVATED
Running Status: STOPPED

Fetch handler type: NO_HANDLER

So I unregistered the process, restarted Opera, and the issue was gone.

Let me know if that works for you. It did for me. Best of luck!

@opera-comments-bot LOL, this is kind of fun.

@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.
@Davidf44 @anthonyuguru @canadagoose4everreturns @CelticCross @m472632 @mrdavidagroves

I did some investigating…

Does this app look familiar to you?
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NFJJ03TS908?cid=msft_web_chart&hl=sr-latn-rs&gl=RS

What about this icon:

Your Opera (on my device, it isn't) is fetching a webpage (a "hearty diary" or something, it appears). Perhaps you have the app, and it is forcing Opera to do something involving the page?

@masaoliu

I love having the translation feature! Could this be added to desktop?

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

@Victor-022 Not sure if there's a feature on Mac that is specifically for summarizing webpages.

Try pressing CMD + /, then press Tab to use page context, and tell Aria to summarize the page.

@burnout426 Thanks for the info, it was useful. I hope they fix the bug soon.

@whisperer I was just going to say this!

@burnout426 I have the exact same issue. I'm using Opera Developer 117 on Ubuntu 24. I have an integrated GPU (built-in to the CPU, so not a dedicated one).

@albano23
Opera Desktop has 3 variants. Opera Stable, Opera Beta, and Opera Developer.

'Edge' is just a term used in the snapstore for the snap versioning system (just like tons of other apps use 'Beta', 'Alpha', etc.), so just ignore it and use the latest stable version if that's what you use.

@albano23
Versioning with Snapcraft is weird, I've been there myself as a developer.
Just use the latest stable version.

@Submerstep I don't think that the Bookmarks Side Panel is horrible, but I do think it could use a lot of improvement (like your suggestions).

Love it! The address bar bug was annoying, but since it was fixed in Opera Developer, I knew it was coming to Stable soon. Thanks!

@daria19 Love it! Keep up the good work, Opera.

@Opera-Comments-Bot Glad to hear this. I also won't have to learn Manifest V3 to make extensions (I was dreading that ).

Actually, I'm glad to hear this, since it really sets Opera apart from other Chromium-based browsers. Even non-Chromium browsers like Firefox are going to follow in Google's steps (because surely Google knows what they're doing?). But not Opera!

Keep up the good work.

@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.

@johnnyvi: As the blog post says:

So how can you test the new Page Context mode? You’ll have to update to the newest version of Opera One Developer for this (Opera Developer v110.0.5104.0). As you may or may not know, you can access Aria by using the CMD+/ (Mac) or Ctrl+/ (Windows) keyboard shortcut. This displays the browser AI on top of the page you are currently on.
