Opera's New AI Browser Assistant: Helpful, But Don't Get Your Hopes Up

Opera's new browser feature, "Browser Operator," is an AI assistant designed to perform multi-step tasks within the browser. While impressive in demos (like finding and adding socks to a shopping cart), it's often slower than doing it manually. The feature is currently in preview and not universally available. Opera cautions against using it for legal, medical, or advisory purposes. It's more of a technological showcase than a fully-fledged productivity tool for now.
