Opera GX focuses on your browser usage alongside games and other heavy programs. With GX Control, you set limits for parts of the browser usage. You will also use tabs, extensions and a sidebar with links to services.

You can customize the design, sounds and homepage. These capabilities make the browser more pronounced than a default browser. A limit can leave room for your game, but doesn't automatically make your computer faster and can slow down the loading of web pages.

Compare Opera GX with alternatives

First determine which additional functions you really want in your browser: a sidebar, workspaces, tab groups or integration with other services. These browsers perform the same main task, but their built-in services and data processing differ. Also check that synchronization works with your phone.

Who is it for?

You leave many tabs open while gaming and want to be able to customize browser functions and appearance extensively.

Getting started

Download Opera GX for your system and walk through the installation. Do not adjust GX Control until you have seen which tabs you normally use.

Privacy

Online services in the sidebar and synchronization have their own data processing. Check separately the privacy settings and the rights of extensions you add.

Good to know

The available GX functions may vary from one platform to another. A built-in browser VPN does not automatically cover the traffic of all your other apps.

Please note

A very low memory or network limit can make websites work less well. Raise the limit if a meeting or video stream fails.

Our verdict

Opera GX is interesting when you regularly switch between a game, stream and open web pages. The source limits give you more influence on what the browser may use during such a session. Expect control; how much difference you notice depends on your hardware and the websites that are open.

The extra side beams, sounds and design are a matter of preference. Turn off parts that distract you and start with wide limits. This allows you to assess whether the operation really helps you without instantly squeezing your downloads or video calls unnecessarily.
