OSLO,
Norway, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera, the
browser from Norway, is on the
hunt for their new Tabfulness Guru, who will browse the web from a
remote island off the coast of Iceland, reach a state of "Tabfulness" – and
get paid $10,000 for the
pleasure.
Scandinavia – and Norway in
particular – is one of the happiest places on Earth. Shut inside
for vast swathes of the year with freezing temperatures and little
light, Scandinavians invented hygge – a mode of living that
champions coziness and well-being. Opera translated this concept
into a state of contentment while interacting with browser tabs –
all thanks to the inspiration the company got from their Tabfulness
Guru.
For seven years, Valgardur Hlöðversson, Opera's Tabfulness Guru,
has secluded himself on Bjarnarey – an abandoned volcanic island
off the coast of Iceland –
studying how to translate that Scandinavian coziness into browsing.
Meditating daily to understand the meaning of digital serenity, the
Tabfulness Guru shares his wisdom via frequent calls with the Opera
staff. Tab Islands, the Opera Browser's innovative and intuitive
way of grouping tabs, was born out of the inspiration the Opera
Team got from its Guru.
"For a long time I've pondered life's big questions: Why are we
born? Where do we go when we die? How do I keep track of so many
tabs? With Opera I have attained such harmony, in both the digital
and physical worlds – but now I need a vacation, and for someone to
take up the role of Tabfulness Guru while I'm away," said
Valgardur.
While Tabfulness Guru Hlöðversson is set to enjoy some leisure
time at his other remote cabin, Opera is looking for his
replacement.
"We are always in need of tabful inspiration and you could be
our next Guru. If surviving on Knäckebröd and fish oil with the
wind on your face and the odd sheep for company – all while
browsing the web and reaching a state of higher consciousness –
sounds like a dream to you, you should apply," said
Joanna Czajka, product director at
Opera, whose team seeks inspiration from the Guru on a regular
basis.
Apply now until February 25th
to browse the web with Opera from the windswept shores of
Iceland to achieve true Tabfulness
and earn $10,000 for the gig.
