OperaGX Lead Designer
Opera GX was developed by Opera Software, the same Norwegian company responsible for the main Opera web browser. It was officially announced on June 11, 2019, during the E3 gaming convention, and released shortly afterward. The browser was designed under Opera’s vision to create a unique browsing experience tailored specifically for gamers.
Opera GX is a gaming-oriented web browser that provides users with powerful customization and performance control features. It allows users to limit CPU, RAM, and network bandwidth usage, ensuring games can run smoothly alongside browsing. The browser includes integrations with Twitch and Discord, and a built-in hub called GX Corner, which offers gaming news, release calendars, and deals. It also features themes, mods, and sound effects, giving users a fully personalized interface suited to their gaming setup.
Opera GX is built on the Chromium engine, so it maintains the same compatibility and performance as most modern browsers. It has mobile versions for Android and iOS, providing a consistent experience across devices. Additional features include live wallpapers that show system stats (like CPU and GPU usage), a built-in ad blocker and VPN, and extensive visual customization options. These tools make Opera GX both visually appealing and practical for gamers who want control over performance and style.
