Aloha Browser: Digital Overload Harms the Human Brain: 71% of People Struggle to Stay Focused

• 65% of people feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available online. Meanwhile, almost 50% feel stressed about missing important information.

• While people often start working on one online task, they find themselves getting distracted by other links, tabs, or notifications - with many people (71%) later realizing they drifted away from their original goal.

• At the end of the day, 64% of people feel that they didn't manage to do something important and are looking for ways to simplify their interaction with information.

LIMASSOL, CY / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2025 / Today, privacy-first Aloha Browser announces the results of its global study, which showed that people suffer from information overload: almost 30% of them keeping open over 10 tabs, and half of them feel stressed when they miss out on something important. About 60% of the respondents receive notifications for things they don't care about more than once per hour, including 30% receiving them every 15 minutes or more often.

Digital Information Consumption

This situation is negatively influencing human productivity and quality of life, with 71% of people confirming that they started working on one online task, only to get distracted by other links, tabs, or notifications, and later realized they drifted away from their original goal, and 64%-that, at the end of the day, they feel that they didn't manage to do something important, such as spend time with family and friends, or sport and hobbies.

"At Aloha, we believe that technologies are meant to help people cope with digital overload, stay focused, decrease stress, and organize smart information consumption. In response to our users' requests (with 58% of respondents being interested in using an AI tool that helps them stay updated and have at their fingertips the information that matters to them), today, we are releasing Snips for iOS, which follows the Snips for desktops launch earlier this year. It is designed to keep people on top of the information they really want or need and avoid digital noise," said Andrew Frost Moroz, the Founder of Aloha Browser. "Snips paves the way for a new human-centric browsing experience, shifting the paradigm from digital resources showing users content that algorithms think they need to a model that empowers users to act as their own algorithms."
