Opera GX is here to save the day for gamers who want to get the most out of their Mac systems. Unless you're rocking a super high-end gaming rig, chances are you want to squeeze every bit of performance out of your setup. Shutting down all your apps before you jump into a game sounds okay, but let’s be real—who wants to do that? We use our browsers for so much these days, and we don’t want to close them unless we have no choice.
This browser is designed for gamers, keeping performance in mind. It’s lightweight during gaming sessions and even comes packed with cool features like Twitch integration and a feed for the latest gaming news. As soon as you open it up, you'll notice it has a familiar look if you've used Opera before, which is definitely not a bad thing.
Let’s talk about how it looks! The default black and red theme gives off serious gamer vibes without going overboard with RGB lights. And if you’re not feeling the default colors? No worries! You can customize it to match your style.
The sound effects while browsing are pretty neat too. They’re designed to mimic mechanical keyboard sounds without being too loud or annoying. However, some users might wish there were more options available since the current ones might not impress everyone.
If you’re diving into a resource-heavy game, keeping your browser's CPU and RAM usage low is key. This will help improve your framerate and reduce any stutters while playing. Just remember—having too many tabs open can still slow things down!
You also get options for limiting bandwidth usage when you're playing online games. This can be super helpful if your internet connection isn’t great! Just keep in mind that you can only limit overall bandwidth instead of separating upload from download speeds.
If you're into streaming, having a Twitch menu right in the sidebar feels natural! Once logged in, you can easily see which streamers are live and jump to their channels with just one click.
You can also pop out videos or streams into their own windows while multitasking. Plus, there are plans to let you watch streams while gaming in a floating window soon!
Just like regular Opera, Opera GX allows you to add other apps like Messenger or WhatsApp right into the sidebar—but no custom web panels yet.
The rest of what Opera GX offers is similar to what you'd find in regular Opera: a basic but handy free VPN, an ad-blocker (just remember to enable both after installation), and tons of customization options! And hey, if you're looking for more add-ons? You can usually grab those from the Chrome Web Store without any hassle.
If you're a gamer wanting better game performance without shutting down everything else on your Mac? You should definitely check out Opera GX! The ability to control resource usage makes this browser super valuable when gaming. While some features might need improvement, they’re nice additions overall—and there's likely more to come in the future.
