OperaGX is a gaming-oriented counterpart of Operaweb browser for Microsoft Windows and macOS, developed by Opera Software AS.
Opera GX was announced on June 11, 2019, the same day as the start of E3 2019. As of April 2021, it is in open Early Access.
Opera GX has the standard features of Opera, such as a built in VPN and AdBlocker, in addition features geared towards gamers. The 'Hot Tabs Killer' sets limits on resources: RAM, CPU, and network speed. It allows limiting of the upload and download speeds, in addition to 'GX Cleaner', which is intended to clear up space and make the browser faster. A feature called 'My Flow' syncs the data of the browser with the Opera Touch browser[1] for mobile devices. In addition to Opera's standard messenger sidebar, it has integrations for Twitch and Discord.
The browser also has a built-in page called the 'GX corner', with a list of upcoming video game releases, personalized news, and a list of free games and sales.
