Getting started is painless and takes less than 60 seconds.
Before we walk through the download button, let’s quickly address why over 20 million gamers have already made the switch. Knowing these features will help you configure the browser correctly once it is installed.
You will generally see options for the standard Windows or macOS versions. However, note that Opera GX is also compatible with mobile devices (Android and iOS), though the resource limiters are most effective on desktop.
Q: Is Opera GX really free? A: Yes, 100% free. No subscription fees for the VPN or ad blocker.
Q: Is Opera GX better than Chrome for gaming? A: Absolutely. Chrome has no resource limiters. If a Chrome tab leaks memory, your game stutters. Opera GX lets you choke the browser's resource usage to save your game.
Q: Will my saved passwords transfer over? A: Yes, if you import from Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. You can also use Opera's built-in password manager.
Q: Does the VPN work on Netflix? A: Sometimes, but not reliably. The free VPN is for privacy and security, not for unblocking geo-restricted streaming services.
Q: How do I update Opera GX after download? A: Opera GX updates automatically in the background. You can also force an update via Menu > Update & Recovery > Check for updates.
Every time you open a new tab, you are greeted by the "GX Corner." This is a news feed specifically curated for gaming releases, free games, and industry deals. It shows you a calendar of upcoming game launches and what is currently free on Steam, Epic, or GOG.
