Opera could soon integrate ChatGPT into its browser

CNBC reported that the company that developed the popular Opera browser intends to integrate the popular ChatGPT chatbot into its products.

The company gave no details on when the merger would happen or if the merger would apply to all of its products, including desktop browsers and smart devices running on iOS and Android, according to the website.

The news comes after Microsoft and Google this week announced plans to integrate AI-based chat technology into their search engine as well as the Microsoft Edge browser.

The GBT chatbot, developed by artificial intelligence technology company OpenAI, has been making headlines since its launch last November.

As for web browsers, Google's Chrome browser has the largest global market share at 65.4%, according to Statcounter, while Edge's share is estimated at 4.5%.

The Opera browser was launched in 1995, making it one of the oldest web browsers in use today, and it now has an estimated 2.4% market share.

Opera, a Norway-based company that provides users with a browser designed specifically for gamers, had an average of 321 million monthly active users in the third quarter of last year. The company said the gaming browser helped it boost revenue in the third quarter, which rose 28% year-over-year to $83 million.

Notably, Opera followed Chinese company Kunlun Technology in announcing in December that its work on AI-generated content systems, such as audio and graphics, would be open source.

It's also worth noting that with Chinese tech giant Baidu announcing that it may finish internal testing of its smart chatbot by March next year before it goes public, many companies are eager to announce that they're working on something similar to GBT's work on chatbot products. . Similarly, Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is developing chatbot rival GBT, but has yet to announce release date details.
