About Opera GX
Opera GX is a special edition of the Opera browser aimed at gamers. It is built on Chromium, runs Chrome extensions, and is available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.
The main addition is GX Control, which lets you cap how much memory, processor and network bandwidth the browser may use so a game running at the same time keeps its performance. GX Corner collects game release dates, deals and news. The interface can be restyled with themes, sound effects and background music, and a sidebar gives access to Twitch, Discord and other services. The usual Opera extras such as the free browser VPN and the ad blocker are also included.
It suits players who keep a browser open alongside a game or who like a heavily customised look. The browser is free. The Google Play listing mentions ads, and some content such as store shortcuts is sponsored. There is no Linux build, according to the platforms we have an official download for.
Use the resource limiters if you game on a modest PC. The theming and sound effects can be switched off if you want a quieter browser.
