Browsely — AI link previews & sidebar

Optimized for Opera

Hover a link to preview, press pin to stack cards on the right, then open the AI sidebar to summarize, translate, or extract next steps without leaving the page. It feels native to Opera's sidebar and keeps your focus while you jump between workspaces.

Link Preview

Faster triage

Preview headlines, metadata, and hero images without opening tabs. Respectful of Opera's privacy controls and adaptable to touch devices.

AI Sidebar

Inline answers

Ask for summaries, bullet points, translations, or rewrites while Opera keeps the source page in view and pinned previews nearby.

Opera link previews

See the page before you commit

Hovering a link in Opera reveals a full preview card: title, publisher, hero image, and an AI-generated snippet when the destination is long-form, technical, or newsy. Previews respect Opera's tracking protection and ad blocker, fetching only the lightweight metadata needed to keep browsing fast. Switch between hover-to-open, click-to-open, or per-site mute depending on the workspace you're in.

Each preview includes safety cues for unfamiliar domains, content type badges, and quick actions: open in a background tab, copy the URL, or ask AI to summarize what you'll find if you open it. Opera keyboard shortcuts work out of the box, so you can pin or close previews and move on without lifting your hands from the keys.

AI sidebar for Opera

Turn any page into an AI workspace

The Browsely AI sidebar lives inside Opera's sidebar and uses live context from your active tab. Summarize research, pull bullet points for meeting notes, translate snippets, or draft a reply in the same view. It plays nicely with Opera's Aria shortcuts and workspaces, adapting to narrow sidebars and wide monitors alike so you can keep reading while you chat.

Save and search conversations per site, reuse drafts across tabs, and drag highlighted text straight into the prompt. When you're done, copy rich text into Opera Mail, Slack, or any web app without losing formatting. Your focus stays on the page—no context switching required.

Opera-first benefits

Optimized for your browser

Browsely was built to feel native in Opera—whether you're using the AI sidebar, workspaces, or multiple profiles. Here's how it stays aligned with the way you browse.

Try Browsely now

Chrome Web Store install

Install Browsely from the Chrome Web Store inside Opera with one click. Updates ride along with Opera's Chromium engine so you stay current without extra downloads.

Sidebar and workspaces aware

Pin previews beside Opera's sidebar, keep AI replies in a dedicated workspace, and move between personal and work profiles without reconfiguring your settings.

Low-overhead performance

Previews reuse existing network calls and stream results incrementally, keeping CPU and memory overhead low on laptops or tablets while Opera's power saver stays active.

Team-friendly controls

Configure defaults per site or profile, export settings for colleagues, and rely on Opera's permission prompts to keep link previews and AI usage aligned with company policies.

Opera reading mode

Stay distraction-free while you research

Activate Opera's reading mode and Browsely keeps previews and the AI sidebar minimal. Typography adapts to your theme, animations slow down, and previews wait until you hover to reduce visual noise. It is the quickest way to scan sources for newsletters, support docs, and long reports without stacking tabs.

When you find something worth saving, pin the preview, add a note in the AI sidebar, and copy the summary into your workspace. You can always switch back to rich previews when you need visuals like hero images or embedded media.
