It allows you to set a maximum upload and download limits on how much of your network’s bandwidth you would like to devote to your browser so that your streaming or gaming and browsing run smoothly. The Network Limiter option is also very useful. The aim of both GX Control features is to keep your browser open without consuming many system resources even if you’re playing or streaming any resource-heavy game.

“Opera GX will stick to that limit, which means your game or streaming service outside of the browser will run more smoothly with the larger network bandwidth at its disposal,” said the company on its official website.Using the CPU Limiter option, you can set a limit on how much of your computer’s processing the browser uses, so the rest can be reserved for gaming. It also comes with a Network Limiter that allows users to set maximum limits on both the upload and download speeds – i.e how much of their network’s bandwidth they would like to devote to their browser. According to Opera, “ The browser will try to stay at or below the selected memory allotment, but it will prioritize experience over the strict memory amount.” There’s also a CPU Limiter that lets users put a cap on CPU usage “so the rest can be reserved for gaming”.

The browser also lets users set limits on how much RAM and CPU resources it is allowed to use. One of the major features of the browser is a built-in ad-blocker that can easily be turned off when you want to support a creator. Described by Opera as the world’s first gaming browser, Opera GX is built specifically to complement gaming and includes what the company says are “unique features” to help gamers get the most out of both gaming and browsing.
