@leocg said in Meet Opera Neon, the new AI agentic browser:

@susanm Main browser has/had crypto/web3 stuff and has an AI, Aria.

Didn't know that about the crypto/web3 past, it must have been before my time.

@pilis00: Putting the AI in Opera One would make it easier for those who dislike AI features, to feel like their browser is getting bloated. Just like I am glad that Opera never put the Web3/Crypto stuff into the main browser, I think it is a good move to keep the AI separate too.

It's more than Opera, but Opera isn't one of the obscure browsers, so it shouldn't be happening at all.

@q53649 yes, I use Bitwarden. It has a good reputation and works for me. It is my definitive password database for everything.

@q53649 All password managers that are built-in to the browser are vulnerable to exploits if you have malware on your computer. But if your computer is "clean" the Opera password manager is as secure as any other browser.

The passwords are stored locally.

But you can also choose to have them uploaded (with an extra password to encrypt them) to the Opera servers for the convenience of them then being available on other devices or computers with Opera.

Syncing password to the Opera server is nice, but it is essential to have a strong password for the sync, and again, be careful about potential malware or bad extensions.

Personally, I don't store my banking and other financial passwords in the Opera password manager.

Yandex PWD applications very smoothly. I love how on the Windows Taskbar, they are shown with the correct app icon and are easy to spot when I have many open.

Sure, with Opera I can break a tab off as a separate window, but on the taskbar they all show the Opera icon which can get hard to see which is which.

Currently I switch between Yandex and Opera depending on what I am doing,but it would be awesome do do everything in Opera. Web apps on desktop? Yes please!
