Opera Air is the most relaxing browser you've ever seen
Given how much work gets done in our browsers, it's odd that companies haven't capitalised on making their software as calming as possible. This is a shame because, if a recent survey from Opera is to be believed, we're in dire need of a browser that can soothe us during the frantic days. Well, given how Opera makes browsers, it decided to solve this problem itself with Opera Air, a new version that emphasises calmness and relaxation while you browse.
In response to the need of a browser that takes the user's mindfulness first and foremost, Opera Air focuses on what it calls “Boosts.”
It's very true that many of us spend far more time in a browser, than actually using any native apps any more today (on our desktops anyway). Depending on whether you go to Facebook/X or Bluesky/Mastodon, your experiences online can vary greatly (this is especially true for sites that actively employ algorithms to incite rage, as nothing drives clicks better than rage).
There is nothing unique about what they have added into this browser, but I suppose browser providers are struggling to differentiate themselves from the others.
The link at the end of the XDA Dev article though is incorrect, so the correct one is https://www.opera.com/air.
