Free internet browser for gamers
Opera GX: Gaming Browser is a free-to-use web browser from Opera, designed specifically for gamers. Unlike other browser apps, this app boasts a customizable interface as well as interchangeable themes. Intended to fit every gamer’s aesthetic choice, it even comes with a set of sound effects as well as custom-designed integration.
Even better, Opera GX is designed to optimize device resources as you play, limiting CPU and RAM usage in the background. It even comes with a VPN and ad blocker, ensuring you play without issues. However, it’s not as streamlined as other browsers like the original Opera or Google Chrome.
Stylish and performance-driven
One common misconception about Opera GX: Gaming Browser is that it is more resource-intensive than the base Opera browser. It has a built-in RAM control function, making it ideal for running parallel to other apps, like video games. Similarly, it optimizes CPU usage and has a VPN feature and an ad blocker, allowing you to bypass geographical restrictions and experience minimal system loads as you play.
It caters to gamers with its customization and integration features for the visuals. First, you can choose from its various custom skins, with more added by multiple users, aside from the option to choose between light and dark themes. Choose from custom themes like GX Classic, Purple Haze, White Wolf, and Ultra Violet. Additionally, the browser offers games and apps on its home page, letting you find exclusive offers and new releases.
However, its gamer-centric designs mean it’s not accessible to casual users. Most of its custom skins feature high-contrast color schemes, which are great for gamers but can get overwhelming for everyone else. Similarly, the overall user interface is not as streamlined as most internet browsers, making navigating and finding certain features challenging. However, once you get used to it, you can start enjoying its resources and browsing advantages.
More features to enjoy
Opera GX: Gaming Browser includes in-browser sound effects with customizable options for responsiveness to actions such as clicking, cursor movement, and typing. Additionally, you have the option to enable background music while browsing. The browser offers a choice between standard navigation and the Fast Action Button, also known as FAB, providing an alternative and intuitive method to control and navigate through Opera. The FAB allows you to perform various actions, including initiating searches, browsing web content, opening tabs, and activating voice search functionality.
