Hey all,
Boosts are one of Opera’s Air’s most loved features, as they help you de-stress, stay focused, and get creative while browsing the web. With our latest update, you can share your favorite Boosts with a friend.
If you’re new to Opera Air, Boosts is one the browser’s built-in mindfulness features. It combines lo-fi audio tracks, ambient sounds, and binaural beats to create soundscapes that help you get into specific states of mind: Energized Focus, Peak Concentration, or Mental Clarity, to name a few. The key here is the binaural beats, which play a different frequency in each ear (so wear headphones) that the brain registers as a third frequency. This stimulates brainwave activity that helps to promote feelings of focus, calm, or creativity, depending on the frequency. With your brainwaves adjusted to the task at hand, you can browse the web without feeling distracted or overwhelmed.
You can access Boosts in a single click from the browser’s sidebar to listen along while you browse, with a number of preset options that you can select, or you can customize Boosts to create something truly your own. You don’t need an account or to log in; you just need to open the menu and pick whatever Boost looks best to you.
Whatever you choose, Boosts are a great way to help you feel better as you browse the web. We know, because we’ve received plenty of feedback that our Boosts have helped users to calm down, stay focused, and address various mental health issues like anxiety and ADHD. And if a Boost can do that for you, chances are it will have a positive impact on a friend of yours too. So with this update, you can now share your favorite Boosts with a friend, which they will be able to play from any browser, whether on desktop or mobile. Boosts are a form of self-care, but now one that you can share with your friends, family or even coworkers to let them experience their benefits firsthand.
If you’re already an Air user, get sharing! But if you’re new to our mindful browser, check it out and see what Boosts you can create – and share! Download Opera Air now.
