<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opera Air: Minimalist browser for mindful browsing</h2>



<p>Opera, the Norwegian tech company known for its web browsers, has introduced Opera Air, a browser that takes mindfulness to the next level.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It features a frosted-glass design that adapts to the website being viewed, creating a soothing and immersive experience.</p>



<p>According to Mohamed Salah, Senior Director of Product at Opera, the goal was to create a browser that allows users to &#8220;feel and function better.&#8221;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Opera Air aims to change how users interact with the web by integrating mindfulness <a href="https://octet.design/journal/tag/tools/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tools</a> directly into the browsing experience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opera Air’s unique features</h2>



<p>Unlike traditional browsers, Opera Air incorporates various wellness tools such as guided breathing exercises, meditation, stretching routines, and positive affirmations.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Users can engage in four guided exercises—breathing, neck exercises, meditation, and a full-body scan—lasting 3 to 15 minutes. </p>



<p>The browser also includes &#8220;gentle reminders&#8221; encouraging users to take breaks and recharge, making it a holistic productivity tool rather than just another web browser.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The power of ‘Boosts’ for focus and creativity</h2>



<p>Opera Air introduces ‘boosts,’ designed to enhance focus and creativity through binaural beats and sound frequencies that affect brain waves.&nbsp;</p>



<p>One particular boost even claims to improve dream recall. This feature sets it apart, making it a productivity tool and a cognitive enhancement aid.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aesthetic and functional UI</h2>



<p>Opera Air’s transparent UI, with frosted glass accents, resembles a PC desktop. It offers a clean, distraction-free interface.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Switching between workspaces is seamless, allowing users to maintain productivity without feeling overwhelmed by cluttered tabs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A mixed reputation: The Opera legacy</h2>



<p>The Chinese company Kunlun now owns a majority stake in Opera.</p>



<p>Although users have criticized Opera’s previous browsers for bugs and unstable updates, many appreciate its superior tab management features.</p>



<p>Whether this web browser will overcome past concerns is uncertain, but its innovative approach sets it apart.</p>



<p>Opera Air is free to download and use from its official<a href="https://www.opera.com/air" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow"> website</a>. </p>



<p>With an AI assistant (Aria), an in-built ad blocker, and a free VPN, the browser is an all-in-one solution for mindful and productive web navigation.</p>
