Though not yet fully fleshed-out, Opera Neon represents an immersive and exciting alternative to boring old web browsers

We’ve all heard of experimental, or concept cars, right? How about a concept browser? Well, Opera has launched just that; a new concept browser, named Opera Neon. Around the time of the introduction of Chrome, browser innovation plateaued. I don’t think many of us knew we wanted more from a browser (many love Chrome and Firefox, after all), but Opera has given it to us nonetheless.
Neon envisions what a modern browser should look like, more intuitive and more immersive. From the get go, it has an altogether different feel than what you are used to. You will not see your favorites bar predictable placed at the top, nor your New Tab button. In fact, you may not even recognize it as a browser at all, as it grabs your desktop background and uses it as the browser background. And instead of the tabs that you are used to switching between above your page, you use round bubbles on the right to navigate between pages. These bubbles animate in an interesting way when hovered over, which is particularly friendly for those with touchscreen.
On the opposite side, you have your traditional omnibox (your address/search bar), a video player, an image gallery, an image snapshot and crop tool, and a download manager. Having these options here makes them a bit more accessible than having them crammed at the top with a slew of extensions and bookmarks.
One especially nice feature is the split screen option, which is particularly good for those with extra-wide screens. It functions similar to the split-screen view on Android or iOS. One drawback is the way in which bookmarks are accessed, which is by opening a new tab. You are forced to open bookmarks in a new tab, even if that is not what you wish to do. It has the potential to lead to far more open tabs than is necessary. And keep in mind, this is purely a “concept browser,” so it does not yet support plugins like AdBlock or Hola, but Opera believes it represents the future of browsing, so why not see what the future looks like?
