Opera GX is a special version of the Opera browser that includes various special options aimed at gamers. The program has various unique features that are meant to enhance the user's gaming experience while providing quick and efficient browsing features at the same time. In order to achieve maximum performance during online gaming, the program limits the CPU and RAM that it uses, ensuring that the majority of computing power will go towards the game. The result is optimized gameplay while still allowing for quick browsing, messaging or online searching.

Of course, Opera GX is only effective with browser-based games. Unfortunately, it does not have any game streaming capabilities like Google's Stadia does. Instead, it aims at optimizing your gameplay by streamlining the resources that the game uses while reducing or halting all unnecessary processes taking place in the background. There are two types of limiters at work: a CPU limiter and a RAM limiter. No matter which one it is, the user can choose whether to use the default setting on these limiters or modify them according to their particular needs.

In addition to its main capabilities, Opera GX offers a variety of tools and functions that can make the life of gamers more enjoyable. Without a doubt, one of the most useful is the GX Corner, a panel that offers the latest news on upcoming games and game-related content. This feature can help you keep up with the latest developments in the industry without even leaving your game. As if that was not enough, the panel includes a link aggregator for games on sale and other special offers. Constantly updated by members of the gaming community, this aggregator is truly helpful.

Because it is meant for younger crowds, Opera GX features a fun, dynamic design that is truly unique for a browser. The pre-loaded theme favors contrast by combining dark background tones with bright and colored icons and buttons. If this does not cut it for you, however, you can always change it by choosing one of the many pre-made themes that are included in the software program. Even more than that, if none of these pre-made themes convince you, the gaming browser provides the option of creating your own theme by modifying its colors, fonts and layout styles.
