What will the web browser of the future look like? Microsoft has tried to make a raft of changes with its Edge browser that comes with Windows 10 , but Opera has taken innovation to a different level with its new browser: Neon.
Neon is classed as a concept browser, built with the same Blink engine as the standard Opera browser , but with a totally different look and a host of experimental features.
Instead of your usual browser UI with the address bar and tabs right at the top of the screen in a traditional window, Neon plays things far faster and looser with a homepage that has website favourites encased in bubbles that simply float above your desktop wallpaper, with the URL bar hovering above them.
Open tabs also appear as bubbles vertically down the right-hand side of the screen, inlaid with images to give you a visual clue as to what site is open in the tab. These bubbles can be dragged around with your mouse, and have a real weight to them with Neon having a physics engine.
