Opera has released a gamer-friendly browser. Users will be pleased with the functions of CPU and memory usage control. The developers staked on the convenience of gaming and streaming. The gamer should be reminded of the gaming interface.
The new browser is called Opera GX. The developers have integrated Twitch and made it possible to customize it.
Desktop browser Opera GX for Windows - its final version - will be released in 2019. It will be especially appreciated by those who love games or are involved in the creation of gaming machines.
Opera senior vice president Christian Colondra said that the goal of creating the browser was to fully meet the desires of gamers and compatibility with gaming machines.
Opera GX has an updated design and features. The user can change the appearance of the browser and limit the use of processor and memory on the computer.
GX Control is a new feature that allows you to control the processor and RAM usage of the browser. The GX Control panel will help users determine how much CPU or RAM they allow the browser to use. In fact, the control goes to the user himself. The good news is that Opera GX does not break user-defined boundaries as other browsers do.
As you know, many games require serious resources from technology. In the past, gamers had to close their browsers so that their work did not affect the process of the game, but now there is no need for this. With Opera GX, it's possible to play in peace without limiting the browser's performance, said Maciej Kocemba, the creator of Opera GX.
On the side, in the browser panel, there is a link to sign in to your Twitch account. Here, the user can receive notifications about the broadcasts of the streamers to which he is subscribed. The start page of the browser has shortcut links to Discord, YouTube and Reddit.
The video the user is watching can be detached from the site where it is located and viewed on another page.

Updating the browser will be like upgrading a game console, the sound effects and musical logo for which were created in collaboration with sound designer Ruben Rincon and the band Berlinist. If you don't want the sounds to distract you, however, they are turned off or customized in the settings panel.
Now a little bit about the design of the browser. It came out stylish. The main elements are dark and red colors. Users can choose any of the 10 available backlighting options or use your own from a variety of suggested colors. The wallpaper, which is presented in sufficient number, 100% fit to the displays of gaming machines.
