Īnother game-oriented inclusion in Opera GX is Twitch integration. While Windows is quite adept at allocating resources normally, switching to Opera GX and using these controls should work fine if your PC is experiencing unfavorable gaming performance while regular Opera (or any other browser) continues to run in the background.
Using the included slider, you can limit 25%, 50% and 75% of the total CPU usage. The CPU limiter, on the other hand, helps you impose limits on how much processing power the browser can use at any given time. The former allows you to limit the amount of RAM that Opera GX can use.įor example, if your PC has 8 GB of system memory, you can limit Opera GX to 2 GB, 4 GB, or 6 GB, and leave the rest for use by the operating system and video game you want to run on it afterward. For example, if you want to use your browser when playing video games (for example, go to Alt-Tab to watch a walk-through) then the integrated system resources will make a difference.Ĭlicking on the GX Control option in the sidebar will bring up a panel with two separate options: RAM Limiter and CPU Limiter. Opera GX’s primary purpose is to give you the ability to control how much RAM and processing power is available for it. However, right-clicking the sidebar reveals all the missing options in Opera (My Flow, Personal News, Facebook Messenger, etc.), which you can then easily activate.
By default, it has fewer options this time, but with some interesting additions (GX Control and Twitch), which we’ll cover next. Additional features include a built-in ad blocker and safeguards from crypto-miners.The extremely useful Opera sidebar also returns in Opera GX. Doing this will allow you to transfer across files of up to 10MB, links, YouTube videos, photos and various ephemera. You can also sync the mobile browser with the desktop version by scanning a QR code. Exporting elements from the world of gaming, the button also uses vibrations and haptic feedback. Mobile users can also utilize the fast action button to quickly access functions like search and to open and close tabs. So what sets it apart from regular browsers? For starters, Opera GX features a control panel that lets you set limits on CPU, RAM and network bandwidth. The company is beta testing Opera GX on iOS and Android starting today, with plans for a public launch in a few weeks. With an eye to expansion, Opera is now bringing its gaming browser to mobile. And, in January, the browser maker doubled down on gaming by acquiring YoYo Games, the British company behind the game development platform GameMaker Studio 2. Over the following months and years, it bolstered Opera GX with customization options, including Razer's Chroma lighting effects. In 2019, Opera launched a desktop browser for gamers to further distinguish itself from Google Chrome.
