Nope.
> One of its novelties is the ability to seamlessly hop between discovering new content and chatting with friends, or even share online discoveries while browsing.
Happily I know no one that uses, or will use, this new version of Opera - I can imagine few things that would disrupt, annoy, and / or reduce my efficiency (or enjoyment) at my computer than being subject to even more random thoughts from the easily distracted.

Considering how much HN loves Slack (especially when paired with working remotely), I think you and I are in the minority. Some people can chat and work at the same time, apparently.
- pwdisswordfish 10y agoPeople who don't like being distracted probably don't spend all their time on HN.
- sangnoir 10y agoThere's a world of a difference between planned "distractions" (mental breaks) and random interruptions: HN even provides a handy no-procrastination timer.
