If that wasn’t enough, GX corner also shows you deals on popular titles. This browser will actually show you which video games are available for free and where you can play them! You get everything from a gaming release calendar to game trailers to, wait for it, AN AGGREGATION OF AVAILABLE FREE GAMES! I’m a slickdeals fiend, so I’m all for free stuff.
This is easily my favorite part of Opera GX (saved the best for last)! GX Corner is the type of HUD the gamers would dream up if they had full control over the internet. People who like playing with lighting will surely appreciate this feature, but I don’t think this area will be utilized that much as a whole. Since its launch, Opera GX has also added Logitech and CORSAIR options to make the GX Lights customization more appealing to the masses. With the Razer Chroma integration, you can sync your browser with your devices for an immersive lighting experience. Lights customization is all the rage these days. Additionally, anyone running Opera GX on a laptop will want to turn on the battery saver option to extend their battery life. I haven’t seen any performance issues while operating without resource limitations.
Without any resource limitation, Opera GX used about a quarter less RAM than Google Chrome! Interestingly, there does seem to be a higher power usage with Opera GX vs Chrome. The number of tasks fluctuated in each browser, including things like crash reports. Interestingly, both tabs had the same exact tabs open but the task manager showed 6-9 additional tasks open in GX. To test the RAM usage, I opened my typical Chrome tabs in both Google Chrome and Opera GX simultaneously. Coming from Chrome where I regularly have 40 tabs open that consume about 4 GB of RAM, this was a fascinating proposal! The browser lets you set RAM & CPU limits while identifying which tabs are pulling the most resources from your PC.
This was actually the most intriguing feature when I was first reading about Opera GX. Here are some of the ones that stand out. Opera GX highlights many unique browser features on its landing page. I’ve been using it for several months and am excited to share my thoughts on how Opera GX might change the game (see what I did there?)! Opera GX Features Opera GX blends the tools and customization of Chrome with unique features that benefit gamers. But what if I told you that there was an alternative that’s optimized for the gaming community? Well, that’s exactly what Opera is building with their recently released Opera GX browser! These days, Google Chrome has become synonymous with the phrase “internet browser”.
