Opera GX gets network limiter to improve your gaming experience
September 12, 2019
https://www.neowin.net/news/opera-gx-gets-network-limiter-to-improve-your-gaming-experience

Today, the company announced a few new features that make the browser even more suitable for fans of gaming.

You can set a maximum amount of bandwidth that your browser can use, and it won't go over that limit. Opera names a few use cases for this, such as streaming music or a movie from the internet while playing online, or if you have many users in your house, in which case you could limit the bandwidth on other devices, so your gaming doesn't get interrupted.
Another new feature is in the GX Corner, which will now include a calendar with upcoming video game releases curated by the Opera team. The listings also show which platforms the games are coming to, and Opera says it's working to add more information to the titles in the GX Corner.

Opera has also improved the integration with Razer Chroma, so color transitions will now be smoother. Chroma lighting will also match the brightness of your browser window.

October 4, 2019
https://blogs.opera.com/tips-and-tricks/2019/10/what-is-a-gaming-browser-and-why-you-need-it/

Opera GX is the world’s first gaming web browser. What we mean by gaming browser is that, with features like RAZER Chroma integration and CPU, RAM and Network use limiters, the GX browser is built specifically for both casual and serious gamers, to optimize your gaming experience.

Most browsers are general purpose tools, with the focus of features and tools on the general audience. At Opera, we wanted to do something special for people who play games, to build a gaming browser that’s not general-purpose, but is made specifically for them. If you play games, Opera GX is a browser you will appreciate.

Opera’s special browser for gamers, Opera GX now available for macOS
December 12, 2019
https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/opera-gx-mac-launch-download/

Most web browsers are notorious for hogging precious computer resources and when you’re a gamer who’s already running graphic-intensive, high-end games, that can be a cause for distress.
At E3 earlier this year, Opera set out to put an end to that dilemma with a new, special gaming browser called Opera GX and after being a Windows-exclusive for several months, it’s launching today for macOS.

In addition, Opera GX inherits a bunch of nifty tools from the standard Opera browser. There’s a built-in free VPN, ad-blocker, the ability to pin as well as check messaging apps like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp from the sidebar, picture-in-picture for YouTube and Twitch videos, support for Google Chrome extensions, and more.
Opera GX is a free download without any hidden charges or subscriptions. It’s available today for macOS in beta and you can grab it from this link.

Opera GX gets Instagram, Workspaces and other unique Opera features
May 18, 2020
https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2020/05/opera-gx-instagram-workspaces/

About a year ago we designed Opera GX, the world’s first gaming browser, for those of you (and us) who love to play computer games. Today we are happy to report that GX is getting built-in Instagram support and other unique features that were recently introduced into the main Opera browser. This includes Workspaces, which lets you group tabs according to the context you use them in.

As you may or may not remember, Opera GX has many of its own unique features such as native Twitch integration, as well as RAM, CPU and network limiters that make the browser less resource-hungry. With this release, we are also adding new sound effects with expanded sound settings.

I really like the idea behind Opera GX, its features and it's sidebar. But it's noticeable heavier on resources than the new Edge, that's a shame. I have a very decent gaming rig, Opera GX makes my fans spin when entering a website, and out of nowhere from time to time, every 15 or 20 seconds give or take. Resuming, cpu and Rram usage is quite high. Using the limiters will just make the browser slow.
