The first is that the UI is highly customizable. One of my favorite customizations is the ability to move the search bar to the bottom of the window, which makes it much easier to use Opera with one hand. The second is that Opera has a built-in AI tool called Aria, and it is pretty fantastic. Aria was the first AI tool I used, and I often use it before any other service.

I've spent a significant portion of my life searching for ways to extend the battery life on my Android phones.

Thanks to this micromanaging, I successfully pushed the batteries on all my past smartphones to their absolute limit. I don't want to hoard this knowledge to myself, so I've decided to share it with everyone.

I've been leery of using cloud-based AI for some time now for several reasons: It consumes vast amounts of energy. There's no way to be certain it honors privacy claims. I don't want any of my queries or data to be used for training LLMs.
