Opera said today that it is releasing Opera One Second version in developer beta that includes new multimedia controls, split tabs, and new AI capabilities.
The company is introducing new themes and design elements to give a new look to the Opera One R2.
The company has traditionally placed multimedia controls on the sidebar. But with the new version, the controls can be on their own floating window, much like a picture-in-picture video module. Opera said it has ensured that the resizable floating controls will match the browser theme you have set. Depending on the size, the multimedia player will have controls such as play/pause, next, previous, pop-out and volume options.
Opera One R2 also has new tab controls with a marquee feature for split tab windows, allowing you to work on two web pages at the same time. Some newer browsers, such as Arch And SigmaOS has incorporated this functionality well into its products.
The redesigned version adds a new indicator in the form of an underscore to highlight recently closed tabs. These indicators, called traces, will be lighter or darker depending on the time elapsed since you closed the tab. It will appear for those who have more than 30 tabs open.
AI Features
Opera is experimenting with AI features such as A sidebar with the “Aria” assistantAI-Powered Summaryand letting people use it Locally Large Language Models(LLM),
The company has introduced some features with Aria like Image and sound generation And image understanding ability Through its experimental AI feature program. These features will be included in Opera One R2.
With the new version, Opera is introducing a Page Context mode, which allows users to ask Area questions about a webpage, including finding, translating, or summarizing specific information.
Opera plans to release Opera One R2 to a much broader user base later this year.
