Opera GX is one of the most feature-rich web browsers out there. Opera is known for creating innovative products within the web space, and they have created browsers before with many extra features that can potentially beat conventional browsers. The GX browser, launched by Opera in 2019, is aimed at gamers to provide them with a cool and fun web browsing experience.

What's so special about it?

Opera GX is a Chromium-based browser that offers you features that no other web browser does. From the moment you install and open the application, you will be welcomed with a colorful yet cool-themed browser. Where do we even start with this?

For starters, you will find a ton of games on the home screen of the browser. Opera has a few gaming bits on the main screen. It is called the GX corner. Firstly, you will see a release calendar with a beautiful UI that you can scroll through to find new games being released with their respective dates.

Then you have GX games that are built-in within the browser. These are mini-games that you can play within Opera GX. Amazingly enough, the games are quite catchy and fun to play. Well done to Opera on this part.

Additionally, it comes with a built-in ad blocker as well as a built-in VPN, both of which are crucial in today’s date and time.

Cool UI

Now you can install themes on other browsers too, but not many will provide you with the same vibe that Opera GX does. You have neon dark themes as well as bright ones. You can customize the themes as much as you want. You can adjust the other UI options as well such as taskbar placement, pinned applications, and so much more.

Features and integration with applications

Opera GX understands the user's requirements. The first useful feature that we are going to talk about is called My Flow. It is a bridge between your web browser on your computer and another browser on your mobile device. It can be connected with a QR code, and then you can send messages or transfer files using that window.

The second handy thing is Opera's integration with other applications such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Discord, and Twitch. Opera understands how important it is for gamers to connect to these apps and hence it provides built-in support for them.

Lastly, another great feature within the web browser is the background audio option. If you turn the option on, it plays an intelligently generated background audio that corresponds with the way you are browsing. It also allows you to have a catchy type-writer kind of sound effect when you type. Quite neat if you ask me.

Set limits on memory usage

Opera GX provides you with the option to set limits to your memory and processor’s usage. The RAM Limiter within GX’s settings option lets you choose how much memory you are going to allow the browser to use. Opera GX will then try to remain within the limit and not slow your computer down.

Conclusion

Opera GX is a free web browser that comes with a ton of features that no other web browser offers. It is fast, resourceful, and unique.
