Opera One browser redesigned for iOS with AI features

On iOS, Opera One Browser got a significant update that brought AI-powered capabilities and revamped elements. Opera, which was introduced in beta last year, now has Aria, its AI helper, for things like creating images and conducting web searches. A carousel view, a Bottom Search bar, and adjustable colour elements are among the new features that improve the user experience.

In a blog post, Opera announced that its new browser for iOS comes equipped with Aria, the company's AI assistant. It is claimed to make an easy job of tasks such as web searches, and text and image generation. Google DeepMind's Imagen2 text-to-image model powers its image generation capabilities. Instead of traditional typing, users can speak their queries as the browser supports voice input.

Opera One browser can adapt to websites by matching the colour of the top and bottom status bars. Additionally, it also comes with a new carousel which integrates news, live scores, and product tips into the wallpaper background. Opera says its new browser provides a complete view of the webpage when scrolling by hiding the top and the bottom navigation bars.

The company has introduced a new feature dubbed Bottom Search. As the name suggests, it places the search bar in the bottom panel for easy one-handed use. Users can choose between three navigation styles: Standard Navigation, the Fast Action Button, or Bottom Search. It also claims to make searching on the web easier by providing smart suggestions and predictive keywords.

Furthermore, users can take advantage of the new swipe-to-search gesture that opens up a search bar by simply swiping down – a method used to access Spotlight search on the iPhone.
