Opera GX’s visuals aren’t quite as ridiculous as some other gamer-centric software. I like my web browsers to be invisible and let the web page itself take center stage. So, I found myself distracted by the constant technicolor icons surrounding the content. Opera GX gives you the option to automatically flip any compatible websites you visit to Dark mode by default. Dark pages blend in much better with the rest of the browser’s color scheme, so I recommend making that switch. Opera GX is also an audio experience, not just a visual one. As you browse, an ambient electronic score plays that dynamically changes based on what you’re doing, something video game soundtracks have done for a long time. As I worked on this review-quickly typing out notes and taking screenshots-the background music picked up the pace and grew more intense. It’s nifty, and without vocals, the music doesn't get in the way of your thoughts. You can turn the music off, or adjust the volume, if you want to work in quiet. Once I got used to its Mountain Dew-like exterior, I had no issues using Opera GX as just a normal, modern web browser. Like the regular Opera browser, it scored 193 points on WebXPRT 3 speed testing. Opera GX scored 523 out of 555 on HTML5test compatibility testing. The higher those numbers the better, and Opera GX's fast and web-friendly specs stack up well against rivals like Firefox (205, 491), Google Chrome (182, 528), and Microsoft Edge (179, 535). Opera GX has so many cool features that it’s tough picking one that stands out the most. Much of this functionality comes from the regular Opera Browser, but it’s just as useful here. As an “Early Access” release (another tactic taken from video games), Opera GX occasionally rolls out experimental abilities.

The Speed Dial start page receives a gamer-focused redesign. Along with a search bar and recommended websites, the page serves up a gaming news feed and release-date calendar you can customize with your platforms of choice. You can check out free games or watch trailers with the picture-in-picture video pop-out. If you who want to live off the data-collecting grid, fire up GX's built-in VPN and ad blocker to maintain privacy. The VPN connects you to America, Asia, or Europe. Connect your phone to the browser to manage your cryptocurrency wallet, to complete your cyberpunk lifestyle.
