Opera, the company behind the gaming browser Opera GX, has just released the early access release of Opera Air, which Opera calls «the world’s first browser with mindfulness at its core».
With a less cluttered UI than its gaming counterpart and built-in binaural beats, I've tested it today and I see the vision.
I feel my chakras more than ever while I'm searching the web for opinions on video games, thoughtful comments on articles, and the latest news from around the globe.
Opera Air looks rather similar to Opera's other browsers but the main differences lie in two features: Boost, which are binaural beats-enhanced songs right in the browser itself that you leave playing while you do work (or doom scroll); and Breaks, which are meditation exercises to encourage mindfulness.
Before Opera Air, I was stressed, anxious, tired. After Opera Air, I am still all those things but I have a pretty new browser and feel just a little better.
