Important functions at an overview:
- Natural voice control: Tabs can be organized, closed or grouped by simple voice commands.
- Integration with Aria: The Ki Aria takes over the execution of the tab commands directly in the browser.
- Data protection -oriented: Tab-related data remain on the device and are processed locally.
Efficient tab management through AI

Integration of Aria: More than just a chat bot
Aria, the integrated AI of Opera, extends its functionality beyond the classic chat and is now acting as an active assistant in the tab management. By entering commands in the command line, Aria shows actions such as closing, grouping or attaching tabs. This integration shows Opera’s endeavor to seamlessly integrate AI into the browser experience. Image: Opera
Data protection and local processing
Particular attention is paid to the protection of privacy. When using Tab Commands, no tab-related data is sent to external servers; Only the entered command is processed. The actual execution takes place locally on the user’s device, which ensures a high level of data protection. You are currently seeing a placeholder of YouTube.
