In a world where online news and notifications often become overwhelming, Opera Air comes to help its users slow everything down and focus on their well-being instead. The list of features includes breathing and neck exercises, meditation sessions, guided full body scans, and more.

Opera is back with another experiment that has the potential to become a popular web browser. Regardless of how many users it will gain in the following weeks, Opera Air is certainly one piece of code that many of those going online these days need. According to the official blog post about its release, this is a secure, powerful, and fully functional browser that is designed to make you feel better while you’re browsing the web, which is built with a minimalist Scandinavian design and an interface that adapts to the background of the website loaded. The frosted glass visual theme looks good and should appease many of those not happy with Windows 11's visuals.

In addition to the standard web browsing features, Opera Air sports research-based mindfulness capabilities such as binaural beats-based soundscapes, breathing exercises, guided meditation sessions alongside full-body scan self-awareness routines, neck exercises, as well as motivational quotes. Since it's not located in the title or status bar, those interested in finding the Quote of the day feature should look for it in the Speed Dial area. In the future, it would be a good idea to offer the chance to choose where to display the quotes. On the bright side, quote sharing is already present.

Opera Air is now in early access, and those worried about the possible lack of standard features should know that it comes with ad blocking, Aria AI, as well as a built-in free VPN. Advertised as the first mindfulness-focused web browser, this piece of code is available only for Windows at this time.
