Is Opera's new AI-powered tab management feature really necessary or just more AI fluff?
Opera’s latest addition, Tab Commands, promises to revolutionize tab management using its AI assistant, Aria. With commands like “group work tabs” or “close social media tabs,” users can interact with their browser in a way that’s meant to simplify multitasking. But is this new feature really essential, or is it just another example of adding AI for the sake of it?
The concept of managing browser tabs with AI might sound innovative, but it raises the question: do users actually need this level of automation? While the feature offers convenience by grouping, pinning, or saving tabs with a simple command, most browsers already have built-in ways to manage tabs with minimal effort. Shortcuts and extensions that help manage tab overload already exist, and many people have developed their own methods for keeping tabs organized without AI assistance.
