Opera has unveiled an updated Opera One R2 browser for developers with a host of improvements

Opera has announced a new beta version of its Opera One R2 browser, which includes improved multimedia controls and enhanced artificial intelligence features.

Here's What We Know

Opera One R2 is now in early access and available to developers. In the new update to the PC version of the browser, users will find floating media controls that can be customised and moved around the screen, as well as a picture-in-picture feature. In addition, the ability to split the browser window for simultaneous work with two web pages has been added.

In the area of artificial intelligence, Opera has integrated the sidebar with the Aria assistant, which can generate images and understand the content of images. There's also a localised feature for large language models. One notable new feature was a page context mode that allows you to ask questions about the content of a web page, including searching, translating or transforming a specific piece of information.

The company plans to make Opera One R2 available to the general public by the end of the year, having previously tested a beta version.
