If its parent company has anything to say about it, Opera's web browsers, including the Opera GX, could be the next to get the ChatGPT upgrade soon.
Neowin(opens in new tab) and CNBC(opens in new tab) both reported that Opera's parent company Kunlun Tech intends to incorporate the enormously well-liked OpenAI program ChatGPT into its own products. There hasn't been any confirmation as of yet as to what products those would be or whether its Opera and Opera GX web browsers would be included.
Following the launch of their respective ChatGPT-like products, Microsoft and Google made this announcement. Microsoft integrated ChatGPT into Bing and Edge, while Google's Bard AI will be integrated into Google Search. Furthermore, it has been revealed that ChatGBT rivals from the Chinese search engine Baidu and the Chinese company Alibaba will soon be available.
Why would someone use ChatGPT?
Tech behemoths have been scrambling to release their own versions of the OpenAI program as ChatGPT gains in popularity, either as standalone programs or integrated into already-existing services.
Opera currently has the lowest market share of the major browsers (3.41 percent) in the desktop browser market, according to Statcounter's most recent data (opens in new tab). In particular, if it provides a higher quality experience than its rivals, integrating its browsers with its own version of ChatGBT could undoubtedly increase that percentage.
Of course, this is just conjecture since we don't know which of Kunlun Tech's products will receive the AI program treatment, but given how many browsers have already released comparable ones, it makes the most sense for Opera to be the next in line.
Investing in such cutting-edge technology carries a risk because of the harm that malicious actors can do with it. Not to mention the fact that it causes plagiarism, harmful misinformation to spread, and other significant problems. But given that it's already given Microsoft's Bing, which was on the verge of going away, some energy, it will probably also give Opera some much-needed life.
More Information About The Opera Mini Browser
Mobile web browser Opera Mini is produced by Opera. It was initially created as Opera Mobile's more affordable sibling for the Java ME platform, but it is now only being produced for Android. It had previously been created for iOS, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone 8.1, BlackBerry, Symbian, and Bada. The only version still in active development as of 2022 is the Android build.
Opera Mini is a version of the Opera web browser. Through the compression proxy server of Opera Software, Opera Mini requests web pages. Before sending requested web pages to the mobile phone, the compression server processes and compresses them. The transfer speed is increased by two to three times thanks to the 90 percent compression ratio. Pre-processing makes web pages that aren't made for mobile devices more compatible. However, interactive websites that rely on a JavaScript-processing device do not function properly.
Opera Software revealed in July 2012 that as of March 2012, Opera Mini had 168.8 million users. 150 billion page views were served in February 2013 according to Opera, which also reported 300 million unique Opera Mini active users. Since September 2012, there have been an additional 25 million users.
The personal computer web browser Opera, which has been freely downloadable since 1996, is where Opera Mini got its start.
Opera Mini was created with the intention of being used on mobile devices that lack the processing power to run a standard Web browser. It was launched on August 10, 2005, as a pilot project run in conjunction with the Norwegian television station TV 2, and only accessible to TV 2 subscribers. In Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, a beta version was made accessible on October 20, 2005.
The browser was formally released worldwide on January 24, 2006, following the release of the final version in Germany on November 10, 2005 and a covert distribution to all nations via the Opera Mini website in December.
Opera Mini 2.0 was released on May 3, 2006. Along with improved navigation, it came with new features like the ability to download files, new custom skins, more search engine options on the built-in search bar, and a speed dial option.
On November 1st, 2006, Opera Mini 3 beta added content folding, secure browsing, RSS feeds, and photo uploading to its list of features and functionalities. The technique of content folding involves condensing lengthy lists, like navigation bars, into a single line that can be expanded as necessary. On November 22, a second beta of Opera Mini 3 was made available, and on November 28, the finished product was made available.
Release day for Opera Mini 4 was November 7, 2007. Opera Mini's technical lead, Johan Schön, claims that the entire code was rewritten. By introducing the Overview and Zoom functions, as well as a landscape view setting, Opera Mini 4 now offers the ability to view web pages similarly to a desktop-based browser.
The user can scroll through a zoomed-out version of some web pages in Overview mode. Similar to the functionality of Opera's Nintendo-based web browsers, the user can zoom into a specific area of the page for a clearer view by using an integrated pointer.
The ability to sync with Opera on a personal computer is also part of this version. Opera Mini Advanced for high-memory MIDP 2 phones and Opera Mini Basic for low-memory MIDP 1 phones were the two editions of the browser available prior to Opera Mini 4. Opera Mini 4 took the place of Opera Mini Advanced. When Opera Mini first launched, Google was the default search engine.
Opera Software and Yahoo! announced a partnership on January 8th, 2007 to switch the default search engine to Yahoo! On February 27, 2008, Opera Software declared that Google would become Opera Mini and Opera Mobile's default search engine going forward. On April 10, 2008, a version for the Android operating system was unveiled. Instead of porting the code to Android, a wrapper that converts Java ME API calls to Android API calls was made.
On August 16, 2009, Opera Software released Opera Mini 5.0 beta, which featured tabbed browsing, a password manager, improved touch screen support, and a new interface with a visual Speed Dial similar to the one Opera Software introduced in their desktop browser.
The browser's use of encrypted proxy-based technology and compression to decrease traffic and speed up page display has the unintended consequence of enabling it to get around various forms of Internet censorship. Since November 20, 2009, Chinese users have complained that using Opera Mini causes them to be redirected to an error page that instructs them to download Opera Mini China.
This is almost certainly a result of the Chinese government being worried about people using Opera Mini to get around the Great Firewall of China. Opera committed to sending all of their traffic through official servers.
In 2009–10: A press release announcing that Indonesia's Smart Telecom had selected Opera Mini for their devices claimed that Opera Mini was the most widely used mobile browser in the world, with Russia and Indonesia having the largest user bases.
