The first manifestation of modular design was the “island of tabs”
Opera has unveiled its new development – a browser called Opera One. According to the developers, this browser has been completely redesigned and will eventually become Opera’s main offering for installation on Windows, macOS and Linux computers.
Opera One will replace the current version of the Opera browser at the end of 2023. The browser has a modular design and flexible navigation. The interface is customized depending on the context and needs of the user at the current moment.
Another innovation is the so-called “Tab Islands”, which group tabs by topic. For example, when choosing a place for lunch, tabs with menus, places, and information about restaurants will open on a special island.
Opera introduced a new, completely redesigned Opera One browser
As the developers promise, tab islands are clearly visible in the browser user interface, marked with separate colors and clear borders.
Tab islands are automatically created to keep tabs of the same theme together. Open websites can also be combined into a tab island by pressing the CTRL/Command button, selecting the desired tabs, and then right-clicking. Tabs can also be moved between islands, added to existing islands, and so on.
In the future, Opera One will add “powerful new features” based on artificial intelligence. In the coming months, it is planned to release its own AI engine.
Those who wish can install an early test version of Opera One , aimed at developers.
