Opera GX Gaming Browser is a customized version of the Opera web browser, built to enhance your gaming experience. This web browser includes features that optimize both gameplay and browsing. It offers gaming-focused features, including resource control, an always-on-top option for games, and Razer Chroma integration.
The new Opera GX browser offers a distinct look and experience compared to the standard Opera browser, with unique customization options tailored for gamers. While Opera has its own extensions store, its browsers are also compatible with Google Chrome extensions. This makes Opera GX a strong choice for those seeking a gaming-focused browser equipped with CPU and RAM limiters to improve performance.
The GX Control RAM limiter lets you choose how much memory the Opera GX Browser uses. The default setting within the RAM Limiter goals is to strike a balance between memory use and expertise.
The browser will attempt to remain within the chosen memory limit while supporting a good user experience. For example, if a process needs to maintain a stream or keep a cloud-based file active, memory usage may temporarily exceed the configured limit.
The Hard Limit setting enforces a strict memory cap, ensuring the browser never exceeds the selected limit, even if it means compromising the browsing experience. The CPU Limiter allows you to set a maximum percentage of your computer’s processing power for the browser, leaving more resources available for gaming. This makes it ideal for users seeking a browser optimized for low-end PCs, enhancing gaming performance without overloading the system.
Each GX Control option helps keep your browser open even when you stream or play a resource-heavy game.

Opera GX Browser includes in-browser sound effects developed by sound designer Rubén Rincón and the band Berlin, who were recently nominated for a BAFTA Games Award for the Gris original soundtrack. Sound effects can be enabled or disabled in the browser settings.
GX Design lets you personalize your browser with custom colors, special effects, and themes. GX Themes offers a range of customization options, including pre-designed wallpapers or the ability to use your desktop wallpaper as the browser background.
Watch Twitch and YouTube with video pop-up. The video stays visible in a floating window over tabs and other applications. Watch tutorials, walkthroughs, streams, or any video content through a window that stays on top of your game.
