Opera One wins the IF Design Award 2024

September 23rd, 2024

Great news, Opera fans!

We are delighted to announce that our completely reimagined desktop browser, Opera One, has won the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD 2024. Our relentless pursuit of innovative technology and user-centric design has been recognized on the global stage, and we’re beyond thrilled.

Opera One: The Future of Web Browsing, Today

Back in June, we ripped up the script for what would have been the 100th version of our desktop browser with Opera One. Based on Modular Design and boasting a multithreaded compositor, Opera One was designed to transform the way users interact with their browser, bringing the UI to life like never before. One of the new features made possible by the improved browser architecture, Tab Islands, has been a game-changer in terms of how users organize their tabs and stay on top of what matters most.

Beyond a new, fluid browsing experience, Opera One was reimagined to usher in a new era of AI-based browsing. Generative AI features such as sidebar access to ChatGPT and ChatSonic came built-in, but Opera One truly distinguished itself by becoming the first browser to come with an integrated browser AI: Aria.

Free and featuring up-to-date results from around the web, Aria is your browsing copilot. Able to assist with intelligent recommendations, voice navigation, and automated browsing tasks, Aria allows users to boost their creativity and productivity by harnessing the power of AI. Aesthetically pleasing as it is functional, Aria has the ability to turn every browsing session into an immersive adventure.

Opera One is the culmination of years of dedication, innovation, and listening intently to you, our users. With its sleek, intuitive design and cutting-edge features like Tab Islands and Aria, Opera One offers a browsing experience like no other – with the power to to declutter, streamline, and personalize your digital journey, Opera One is where efficiency meets elegance.

Celebrating Excellence: The iF DESIGN AWARD 2024

The iF DESIGN AWARD is not just an award: it’s a testament to our commitment to you, our users. A symbol of excellence in design and innovation, receiving the iF award is a nod to Opera One’s forward-thinking design and user-focused functionality, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of the digital revolution.

And this is not the first time we’ve been on this stage before! Opera has won iF awards in the past for Opera Touch in 2019, as well as Opera GX – the world’s first and only browser for gamers – in 2020.

We are proud, humbled, and invigorated all at once – but most of all, we are inspired to continue on this path of innovation, with you by our side.
