Opera GX is a free, Chromium-based gaming browser from Opera with CPU, RAM and network limiters (GX Control), Twitch and Discord in the sidebar, themes and mods. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with Android and iOS apps.
A browser with dozens of tabs can eat memory and bandwidth that your game needs. Opera GX’s signature feature lets you put a cap on that, and it wraps the rest of the browser in gaming-style looks and integrations.
GX Control
GX Control is a set of limiters for CPU, RAM and network usage. Set a ceiling and the browser stays under it while you play, download a patch or stream.
Made for gamers
- Twitch in the sidebar: See which followed channels are live and get notifications.
- Discord in the sidebar: Chat with your teams and communities while you browse.
- GX Corner: Free games, deals, a release calendar and gaming news in one place.
- Themes and mods: Change colors and wallpapers, or add mods from the GX modding collection; light and dark modes are available.
- Messengers and music: WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger and a built-in player for music services.
Like Opera, GX also includes a free VPN, an ad blocker, workspaces, video pop-out and Flow, which sends links and files between your computer and phone.
