      Hi Opera team!

      I have a question about your browser development strategy. Currently, there are several versions of Opera, such as Opera GX, Opera Air, and Opera Neon. I’m wondering why you choose to create separate versions of the browser with unique features instead of implementing these solutions as options in a single, main version of Opera.

      For example, the features available in Opera Air could just as well be introduced as a "focus mode" in the standard version of Opera. Could you explain what benefits this approach brings both to you and to users?

      Thanks, and looking forward to your thoughts!

              Guys, basically they're all the same browser.

              It would be more logical to present it as an option in browser installation.

                @erdinc53 that's what I feel as well.

                  Opera One is the one for me, actually. Pun intended.
