Introducing Opera Air, a mindful browsing experience with built-in wellness features

Opera has unveiled Opera Air, a new web browser designed with mindfulness at its core. This secure and robust browser aims to enhance user well-being during web browsing. Opera Air incorporates research-based mindfulness features like breathing exercises, binaural beats, and positive quotes, seamlessly integrated into the browsing experience to promote mental wellness without disrupting daily activities.

The browser boasts a minimalist Scandinavian design with a frosted glass user interface that adapts to the website background, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The Take a Break feature, accessible from the sidebar, offers a range of exercises such as breathing techniques, neck exercises, meditation sessions, and full body scans to encourage mindfulness breaks throughout the day.

Opera Air's Boosts feature leverages binaural beats, requiring headphones to create auditory experiences that may induce various mental states, such as relaxation or focus. Users can select from different boosts like Creativity Boost, Energized Focus, or Deep Relaxation for stress relief.

In addition to these mindfulness features, Opera Air also includes traditional functionalities like a built-in ad blocker, Aria AI, and a VPN, among others, providing a comprehensive browsing experience.

The idea of digital well-being/wellness seems to flourish here and there lately. It may become the new hyped thing à la AI. As long as it doesn't claim it will cure cancer, or brain or heart degenerative diseases, and doesn't pretend it's better than a 20 minutes foot walk, it may not be a bad thing. Less screen time is often better. Still, I fail to see how it is related to internet.
