Opera GX is the world’s first gaming web browser. What we mean by gaming browser is that, with features like RAZER Chroma integration and CPU, RAM and Network use limiters, the GX browser is built specifically for both casual and serious gamers, to optimize your gaming experience.

By default, Opera GX lands you in a dedicated tab called ‘GX Corner,’ which features a curated list of upcoming games, gaming deals, and news feed for any platform of your choice (Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, etc.). Opera GX is a popular web browser designed specifically for gamers.It features an array of configuration options and tools that make gaming and browsing a breeze. This free program also includes various security features and an ad-free browsing experience. Opera GX includes the GX Corner, a portal within the browser which is your one-stop source for gaming news. The GX Corner includes a game-release calendar as well as a deals and free gamers aggregator which lets you find out first about GTA V being offered for free and other deals. The free games section is particularly popular among GX fans. The most gaming-specific feature is the “GX Corner” tab. Clicking the controller-shaped icon at the top of Opera GX’s sidebar opens a window with recent gaming-related news stories, links to.

Most browsers are general purpose tools, with the focus of features and tools on the general audience. At Opera, we wanted to do something special for people who play games, to build a gaming browser that’s not general-purpose, but is made specifically for them. If you play games, Opera GX is a browser you will appreciate.

Gaming themes and style

From the moment you download it, you can see that Opera GX is different. It has a darker, some might say brooding, customizable color palette that fits with the look and feel of gaming keyboards, mice, and even PCs and laptops. It also has the world’s first animated browser boot logo, a detail we’re quite proud of. It makes just starting up the browser feel like loading a game.

The dark tones and colorful highlights look great and the RAZER Chroma integration, along with custom sound effects, makes your overall experience with Opera GX even more dynamic. The theme (and any changes you make to Opera GX’s menu and icon colors) will be reflected in your connected RAZER devices too.

Gaming news and deals

Another difference with Opera GX is the GX Corner, which brings gaming news and deals to your browser. The news is pulled from gaming news websites (the exact sites depend on where you are, and can be controlled in the settings). The list of new games and game deals in GX Corner is curated by Opera staff and features the latest deals from Steam, Humble Bundle, and others.

Because these deals are hand-chosen and curated, you won’t find half-off sales for some no-name games reduced from two dollars to one. Rather, we scour the web to find you the best deals on the best games and highlight them in GX Corner. Be sure to check out the badges that explain why we picked what we’ve picked. Opera GX also includes Twitch integration.

Control your browser

All of Opera’s browsers are focused on giving you control. For Opera GX, that means giving you control over how much of your system’s resources your browser consumes, and how much is left for the system, and of course, games.

CPU limiter

GX Control is the menu you’ll use to customize Opera GX’s system resource allotment, including network bandwidth, CPU and RAM usage. The CPU limiter will throttle Opera’s use of your CPU’s cores. You can set the percentage of cores that your Opera browser can use (it needs at least one). The details of this menu will vary according to the resources your system has available.

RAM limiter

GX Control can also limit memory use, which will stop those forgotten tabs from sucking up memory. Given that modern web pages can (and do) use up enormous amounts of RAM when nothing stops them, this can be a game-changer (pun intended).

Opera GX has a built-in RAM limiter that you can control in two ways. You can set a soft limit, which means Opera GX will do its best to stay within the RAM boundaries you set. There’s also a hard limit setting, so if a new tab would take you over your hard limit, Opera GX will shut down an older tab first so that no extra RAM is used.

Network limiter

Many of us like to stream music from YouTube or a Netflix film in our browser while playing a game and streaming the gameplay in parallel. This requires a lot of bandwidth and, sometimes, your browser might get needy and use too much of it. The network limiter solves that issue by allowing you to set maximum limits on how much of your network’s bandwidth you would like to devote to your browser. Opera GX will stick to that limit, which means your game or streaming service outside of the browser will run more smoothly with the larger net bandwidth at its disposal.

Extra features

Opera GX’s control center includes the option to manually control the volume of your browser, letting you turn down the beeps and pings, or even mute them and any other content with sound. You can also play videos on top of other pages, just like in the Opera browser for desktop, but here it means the ability to simultaneously watch a video and play an online game. Twitch integration, along with other Opera desktop features like integrated WhatsApp and Facebook messenger, allow you to do more in one place than other browsers, without the need for extensions.

Enjoy gaming and browsing? Try the new Opera GX!

Hello there,

The moment has come: Opera GX is turning one and we are ready to party! We’ve been preparing for this celebration for quite a while and first of all want to share with you that we have some new exciting features. Second of all, we’d like to invite you to a birthday stream with SypherPK later today (June 19, at 5 PM CEST).

So what’s the news today? Opera GX, the world’s first gaming browser, is introducing new features including Discord support and a Hot tabs killer. It can also force brightly-designed pages to become dark to stop that nighttime glare.

With the gaming industry surpassing the movie and music business in revenue, Opera GX remains the only PC browser designed with gamers’ needs and tastes in mind. The browser has an array of useful features including Twitch integration, as well as CPU, RAM and network bandwidth limiters.

Today, Opera GX is getting a major birthday update which introduces built-in Discord support, as well as the Hot Tabs Killer feature, which lets gamers see which tabs are overwhelming their computer and easily close them.

Why every gamer should give Opera GX a try

We launched Opera GX in June 2019 during the E3 gaming expo in Los Angeles. One year later, the gaming industry has grown even more relevant. As events were canceled and restaurants, cinemas and other sources of entertainment closed, many of us turned to gaming to participate in virtual mass events such as Travis Scott’s concerts in Fortnite – watched in real time by 27 million people. Meanwhile others hosted birthday parties and even weddings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Still others turned to Discord for remote teaching. Games and virtual reality are now more than ever an extension of our everyday lives as they provide the necessary meeting spaces that might otherwise be unavailable.

With native integration of Twitch, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and now Discord in the sidebar, Opera GX makes it easy to stay on top of conversations with online friends as well as with developing online trends and streams.

Built-in Discord support

We noticed you have been asking for native Discord support in the browser and wanted to save this feature for a special occasion like this one. Starting today you can more easily connect with you community on any topic you want.

With this step, Opera GX is not only integrating the feature but also entering the Discord community to discuss the browser as well as gaming with our fans. For the Opera GX Discord server, click here.

Hot tabs killer

I’m happy to report that for the tab hoarders among us, Opera GX has a new useful feature called Hot Tabs Killer which lets you identify the most resource-draining tabs and slash them with a sword to make sure the browser doesn’t overburden your PC or laptop.

Turn any brightly designed page dark

Opera Gx Corner Not Working

Opera GX was designed to be dark and not blind you while browsing. With its new Force Dark Pages feature, it brings that experience to any web page, even if the page was designed as glaring bright. The feature injects its own changes to a site’s styles to turn bright backgrounds dark, making sure that users aren’t blinded by web pages. This feature is currently in beta and you have to explicitly switch it on.

The only browser to limit the amount of CPU, RAM and network bandwidth it uses

Opera GX comes with a set of features which have been tweaked to the specific needs of people who love computer games. The browser is the only one to take care of the way the browser affects the functioning of the entire machine: Opera GX allows users to make it less resource-hungry by setting a limit to the amount of CPU and RAM used by the browser, as well as to the network bandwidth.

You can also adjust the highlight colors of the browser, which is integrated with Razer Chroma, and will match the highlight colors of the peripherals to the colors of the browser. The browser also includes Video pop-out, a feature which lets you display online videos on top of other webpages and even on top of a game for some gameplay support.

Opera GX users can adjust elements such as the hovering style of icons or the browser sounds, designed with the award-winning composer Rubén Rincón and the band Berlinist. The sounds can be individually enabled/disabled and while they do sound great on speakers, Opera GX has recently joined the Better with Headphones club.

Is Opera Gx A Virus

Apart from its unique features, Opera GX also has all the features known from the main Opera browser. These include a free built-in browser VPN, ad blocker, as well as Workspaces – a tool for better tab grouping according to topic.

GX Corner: a gateway to free games, deals, gaming news and new releases

Opera GX includes the GX Corner, a portal within the browser which is your one-stop source for gaming news. The GX Corner includes a game-release calendar as well as a deals and free gamers aggregator which lets you find out first about GTA V being offered for free and other deals. The free games section is particularly popular among GX fans.

We are also very happy that in the year that passed since our initial launch in LA, we got to win two design awards for GX: the iF Design Award and the Red Dot award.

Birthday stream coming up on June 19
