About Opera GX
Opera GX: THE gaming browser for powerful players
Opera GX doesn't play by regular browser rules. It isn't here to blend in. It's here to take over.
Designed from the ground up for gamers, streamers, modders, and anyone who wants more say in how their browser looks, sounds, and performs.
GX puts you in the driver's seat with unique performance features:
GX Control → limit RAM, and network usage, so your games stay smooth while your browser stays light.
GX Cleaner → clear out old files and junk with one click and keep your browser running like new.
Hot Tabs Killer → spot resource-draining tabs and shut them down instantly.
Personalize every pixel of GX with GX Mods. Customize your themes, sounds, wallpapers, shaders, splash screens, icons and more. Build your own mod or browse thousands of community creations in the GX Store.
Stay connected with your crew directly in the sidebar. Built-in Discord, Twitch, TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, Bluesky, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, or Slack — all fully integrated so you chat, stream and scroll without losing focus. Forget any tab overload.
GX Corner keeps you ahead of the game with free games, release calendars, gaming news and the hottest deals — all in one spot, updated daily.
Tune your audio with the built-in Music Player supporting Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and more — no extra apps, no switching tabs. Protect your privacy with built-in Free VPN, Ad Blocker, Tracker Blocker, and Cryptomining Protection. And when things get awkward, hit Panic Button (F12) to instantly hide your session.
Your data stays yours — Opera GX follows strict security standards, with no-log VPN independently audited by Deloitte.
Opera GX also includes:
Split Screen browsing
Video Pop-Out for floating video windows
Tab Islands & Tab Emojis to keep your tabs organized and easy to spot
Aria browser AI — free, built-in AI assistant for instant answers
My Flow for seamless file and link sharing across devices
Workspaces & Pinboards to keep your projects tidy
With 30+ million users worldwide and a global Discord community shaping GX every day, Opera GX is way more than a browser. It becomes your personalized control room for gaming, creating, streaming… and getting things done.
