Opera is an anything-Internet-suite. It's not just a browser, but aims to deliver interfaces for anything else people are doing with browsers. So anything for which most people would use a website or web-extensions, they deliver out of the box. And AI seems to be something that should be integrated deep into such an environment.

Mozilla (the browser) was like that wasn't it? Email, browser etc. and FF was the stripped down version.

Yes, it was called Mozilla Suite or Mozilla Application Suite, and is now named SeaMonkey.

Mozilla was like that because Mozilla was a clone of Netscape Communicator that had been like that since 1997 when Netscape acquired Collabra and turned the standalone browser into a groupware suite with email, calendaring, directory services, and more.
