Opera GX is the world's first gaming web browser. What does that mean and why do you need a gaming browser? What we mean by gaming browser is that's it's a web browser, built for gamers with features that gamers will appreciate, like integration with RAZER Chroma and tools to limit CPU and RAM use.

Most browsers are general purpose tools, the focus of features and tools is the general populous. Opera wanted to do something special for gamers, to build a browser that's not general purpose at all, a browser that's made specifically for gamers. If that's you, Opera GX is the browser for you.

From the moment you download it, Opera GX is different. It has a darker, some might say brooding, color palette that fits in the with look and feel of gaming keyboards, mice, and even PCs and laptops. It also has the world's first animated browser boot logo, a detail we're quite proud of. It makes just starting up the browser the feel like loading a game.

The dark tones and colorful highlights look great and the integration with RAZER Chroma makes the experience of Opera GX even better. The theme (and any changes you make to Opera GX's menu and icon colors) will be reflected in your connected RAZER devices too. 

## By Gamers, For Gamers

Another difference is Opera GX is the GX Corner, which brings gaming deals and news to the browser. News is pulled from gaming news websites (which ones depends on where you are, and can be controlled in the settings). The list of new games and game deals in GX Corner is curated by Opera staff and features the latest deals from Steam, Humble Bundle, and others. 

Because these deals are hand curated you won't find half off sales that see some no-name game reduced from two dollars to one. We scour the web to find you the best deals on the best games and highlight them in GX Corner. Be sure to check out the badges that explain why we picked what we've picked.

## Control Your Browser

All of Opera's browsers are focused on giving users control. For Opera GX at means giving you control over how much of your system's resources the browser consumes, and how much are left for the system, and of course, games.

GX Control is the menu you'll use to customize Opera GX's system resource allotment. The CPU limiter, will throttle Opera's use of your CPU’s cores. You can set the percentage of cores that Opera gets (it needs at least one). The details of this menu will vary according to the resources your system has available to it.

GX Control can also limit memory use, which will stop those forgotten tabs from sucking up memory. Given that modern web pages can (and do) use up enormous amounts of RAM when nothing stops them, this can be a, pun intended, game changer. 

Opera GX has a built-in RAM limiter that you can control in two ways. You can set a "soft" limit, which means Opera GX will do its best to stay within the RAM boundaries you set. There's also a "hard" limit setting. When a new tab would take you over the hard limit, Opera GX will shut down and older tab first so no extra RAM is used.

## Extra features

Opera GX's control center includes the option to manually control the volume of the browser, letting you turn down the beeps and pings, or even mute them and any other content with sound. You can also play videos on top of other pages, as you can in Desktop Opera, but here that means the ability to simultaneously watch a video and play an online game.
