While Opera GX already hasTwitch, FacebookMessenger,Instagram, and WhatsApp integrations, Discord integration would help gamers stay connected with their squad. You canaccess Discord from the browser’s sidebar. The company has also started itsDiscord server.
“Our users have been asking for native Discord support in the browser so here it is. Everyone can now more easily connect with their community on any topic they want,”said Maciej Kocemba, the creator of Opera GX.
As the name hints, you get a Task Manager-like setup from whereyou can decide to purge the tabs that take up the most resources. The company calls the feature “Hot Tabs Killer”. This would come in handy for efficiently managing CPU and memory resources without wasting them on tabs that you don’t need at the moment.
What is even a “gaming” browser if it doesn’t embrace dark mode? Opera GX will let you enter the dark side with its new Force Dark Pages feature. It is worth noting that thefeature is in betaand you might notice some inconsistencies in certain websites.
