After that, you will have access to the Twitch and Discord web app straight into your browser without having to download anything on your PC. You must access their corresponding icons in the Opera GX sidebar and enter your account credentials. Opera GX considered this and has introduced native Twitch and Discord integration into the browser, which is something that regular Opera doesn’t have. Those who are into gaming know that being a gamer is just about playing games it’s also about watching live streams on platforms such as Twitch or communicating with teammates for better coordination via tools such as Discord. It allows you to clear cache and cookies, close unused tabs, clear browsing history, remove download history, and even hide new sidebar icons to unclutter the UI. Similar in design and use to the GX Control panel, the GX Cleaner is a browser history and storage management tool with a visual upgrade.

RAM & CPU Limiters – These two do exactly what they say: they limit the amount of RAM and CPU that Opera GX uses, which in turn helps avoid FPS drops and micro-freezes during gaming while the browser is still active in the background.

Network Limiter – It allows you to manage the bandwidth usage of your Oper GX browser, thus allowing you to avoid unpleasant moments during online gaming, such as lag spikes.

Hot Tabs Killer – This gives you an overlook and automatically closes tabs that take up too much RAM or CPU.

It is a mini-Task Manager for your browser that lets you observe and manage how your browser uses your PC’s system resources.

One way Opera GX calls itself a dedicated gaming browser is via the GX Control panel that is accessible via the left sidebar. The most significant selling point of Opera GX is that it is marketed as the world’s first gaming browser, and the toolset, system requirements, and looks say it all.īuilt using the same Chromium engine as the regular Opera browser, this tool comes packed with everything a gamer would ever need to access the Internet, stay private, and feel as if they were gaming simultaneously.
