“Let’s face it: you need to be focused in a game and GX is the perfect place to have fun with your setup and make it shine,” said Maciej Kocemba, Head of Opera GX.
Opera GX is the world’s first browser designed for gamers. GX initially launched with Razer Chroma RGB integration that allowed Razer Gear to match the colors of the browser. Opera is now stepping it up with dynamic Chroma Lighting Effects that light up gamers’ Razer gear with custom animations whenever they start the browser, open new tabs, get a notification, activate the RAM, CPU and network limiters or finish a file download.
“We’re glad to see Opera GX continuously innovate by adding more dynamic lighting capabilities with Razer Chroma RGB. Gamers can now experience an immersive light show with Opera GX like never before,” said Kushal Tandon, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Razer.
Gamers can choose a preset animation theme or one of the additional effects. They can also import any gif and use it.
The dynamic Chroma RGB Lighting Effects are not displayed continuously, but rather when something occurs in the browser. They are also dimmed in fullscreen mode.
Opera GX has recently grown to more than 5 million monthly active gamers, more than doubling the number since last year. Along with color themes and background music, GX includes CPU, RAM and Network Bandwidth limiters. Opera GX’s Discord server now has more than 230k members.

Hello,
Today, we would like to invite you to try something completely new. Opera GX is a specially tuned version of the Opera browser, with new and unique features and design meant for people who love to play computer games. Right now, we are opening the early access program (for Windows), which means that, starting today, you will be able to download and test the browser and shape it with us. We will be launching the final version later this year.
GX Control lets you control the CPU and RAM usage by the browser
The GX Control panel is a brand new feature which lets you define how much of your computer’s CPU or RAM you are willing to let the browser use. By toggling on the circle, you can choose to devote a certain percentage of the computer’s resources to the browser. Opera GX will stay within these limits. This means that, unlike other memory-hungry browsers, Opera GX puts you in full control of your gaming and browsing experiences.
We introduced this feature because running a game might require a lot of effort from your machine, even more so if you are streaming while you play. We found that many gamers often shut down their browsers in order to not slow down their gaming experience. Thanks to GX Control, games can run more smoothly without requiring you to compromise on what you do on the web.
Razer Phone Operating System
Gaming ready with Twitch integration
Opera GX’s Twitch integration is another handy feature. The browser lets you log into your Twitch account directly from the sidebar and will notify you when a streamer you follow goes live.
The browser’s speed dial screen is also different from the one you know from our main browser – it features shortcuts to sites popular among gamers including Discord, YouTube and Reddit.
GX Corner for latest gaming news and deals
We also created the GX Corner, a place where gaming news from the web will be presented along with curated gaming deals and information about new and interesting releases.
Gaming design, sound effects and gaming hardware integration
When you first start or upgrade Opera GX you will be welcomed by sounds and an animation sequence inspired by gaming consoles. The sound effects and musical logo creation in GX are a result of Opera’s collaboration with the sound designer Rubén Rincón and the band Berlinist, who recently received a nomination in the BAFTA Games Awards for the original soundtrack to the Gris game. You will be able to adjust or switch off the sound effects, as well as most browser features in the settings panel.
Opera GX comes out of the box with a sleek gaming-inspired design with dark and red elements. You can also choose a different highlight color from 10 suggested colors or go deeper and choose from 16 million possibilities using the extended color picker feature. We designed it to feel at home on any gaming setup.
Razer Operation Hazel
Opera GX comes with an exclusive set of wallpapers designed to match the browser and the large displays of gaming setups. It also includes Razer Chroma integration, which means that the keyboard, mouse and other Razer Chroma elements will adjust their colors to the chosen highlight colors in the browser.
Opera’s powerful features are there
Opera GX includes all the features present in the Opera desktop browser. This means that, apart from the Twitch integration, you can also use the Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook or Vkontakte messengers in the sidebar to stay in touch with friends without the need to open separate tabs.
Opera GX also retains the popular video pop out function which makes it easy to pop out a video from the website it is being streamed on and watch it on top of other websites.
Our built-in ad blocker will safeguard that websites load fast and distraction free while the free, no-log browser VPN will let you safely browse the web when using public WiFi.
We’ve summarized all the key features in an image:
Early access at Level 1 starts today
Razor Operator
The early access to Opera GX for Windows starts today at Level 1, during E3 in Los Angeles. Instead of the usual versions, the browser’s development will progress in levels. The initial early access version is designed for those of you who love games. It also gives you the opportunity to shape the next versions, as our developers have added special feedback boxes throughout the browser, where particular features can be rated with one to five hearts. We would also like to encourage you to provide feedback and wish lists via the Opera GX forums.
Download Opera GX. A final version is planned for launch later this year.
