Opera GX is a special version of the well-known Opera browser that is specifically designed for gaming aficionados. In the addition to the security and a.
The term “gaming” has seeped itself into all manner of products, and perhaps by now we’re all too familiar with the typically aggressive design and performance-focused functions that come with it. A gaming browser may sound like an odd fusion of terms, but in the case of Opera GX, the developer’s efforts seem clearly focused on putting user convenience above all.
This is a pretty standard affair when it comes to what to expect from something that bears the term “gaming.”  A more maximalist interface than your usual browser, a series of performance-focused tools, as well as some interesting amenities that make it easier to keep in touch with the world of video games, are some of the pieces that make up a quite unique solution on the browser market.
As with anything that has “gaming” attached to its name, it’s to be expected that some users might not be all too intrigued by what’s included here, and that’s perfectly fine. By now, the term is already quite a loaded one, which means that the audience for such a browser was already accounted for from the beginning. Some may like it, others may not, but those who do will most certainly find a lot of worthwhile additions over what’s normally expected from a browser.
At first glance, there’s some stuff that you simply don’t get with other browsers. The GX Corner interface takes an approach that is very much in line with the gaming prerogatives you would expect: you’ll see a release calendar up top, showing any up-and-coming titles, as well as a selection of games just below, which you can play directly through your browser. Don’t expect anything too fancy, but if you’ve got a penchant for platformers and arcades, then you’ve very much in luck here.
Scroll down even further, and you’ll be greeted by a selection of free-to-play games. It’s likely that you’re already acquainted with some of these by now, and if you’re not, then it’s a good opportunity to learn more about a title and pick it up. Some recommendations for paid games can also be found, and the browser even has a deals aggregator section, which can help you snipe a good price on a game. It’s good that you can even filter by storefront and platform, so console gamers can also get some good use out of this.
You can also keep up with the latest gaming news through the Daily News section. Some articles are more relevant than others, but just a quick glance through the section is usually enough for a quick gaming news fix.
