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. Opera GX is also an audio experience, not just a visual one. Dark pages blend in much better with the rest of the browser’s color scheme, so I recommend making that switch. Opera GX gives you the option to automatically flip any compatible websites you visit to Dark mode by default. So, I found myself distracted by the constant technicolor icons surrounding the content. I like my web browsers to be invisible and let the web page itself take center stage. Opera GX’s visuals aren’t quite as ridiculous as some other gamer-centric software.

You can swap between different color themes, such as Ultraviolet and Purple Haze, for a different look.

Opera GX’s interface pulses with colorful outlines on dark backgrounds, like a future imagined in the 1980s. The first thing you’ll likely notice about Opera GX is the aesthetic, a look that says, “Yes, this is a browser for gamers.” From chairs to mice to PC cases, companies love to mark their products as gamer-friendly by slathering them in harsh, glowing neon colors. Launching the browser takes no time at all after downloading the 3.5MB installer. Like the normal Opera browser, Opera GX has an Android and iOS app. Opera GX runs on both Windows 10 and macOS.
