Opera is one of the oldest web browsers, which although it has never conquered the popularity of Chrome and Firefox, it has nevertheless remained the most innovative in terms of functionality, so much so that it has described Opera as the browser with more special functions. Over time we have seen different types of Opera browsers, in addition to the classic one, with for example the Opera Mini and Opera Touch versions for smartphones.Now Opera has launched on the market a new browser for PC, very special and innovative at least from the point of view of the objective, which had never been seen before: Opera GX Gaming Browser, Namely the browser for gamers.
This experimental browser dedicated to gamers works like a regular browser, but has some really nice features and interesting as the integration of Twitch and, above all, the computer's CPU and RAM usage limiter (ideal for those with an old PC or one with little memory). The user interface, then, has a sci-fi movie look, which we could define absolutely "extravagant".
Like the standard version of Opera, Opera GX is based on Chromium, the open-source project that forms the basis for the Google Chrome web browser. The websites then open and appear the same as they do with Chrome and it is also possible to install Chrome extensions.
Like Gaming Browser, Opera GX is dedicated to viodegames players, Twitch regulars, and those who are always looking for news about new upcoming games. Apart from that, everyone can use them, especially if you want to try the PC performance optimization feature.
Opera GX is available for free via PC Windows and also for smartphones Android and for iPhone and iPad
