A Breath of Fresh Air in Browsing
Opera Air incorporates standard browser features along with mindfulness tools:
- Ad Blocker: A built-in Ad Blocker reduces on-screen advertisements for uninterrupted browsing.
- Air Wallpapers: Animated and static wallpapers aim to provide a visually calming background.
