Opera GX gaming browser gets update with new features

Opera isn't just one browser, but rather a family of browsers. For instance, the Opera GX browser is specifically designed for gamers. It can limit the amount of resources it uses and can be modded like a video game. In fact, these mods are extensions, but they are easier to develop.

Now, the browser has received several new features as part of its latest update. It focuses on better tab management, which is an important aspect for users who are regularly working with a large number of tabs. With the split-screen feature, two pages can be displayed side by side without juggling between different windows and tabs, which should result in easier multitasking.

Furthermore, "Tab Traces" are now supported and basically act like an extended browser history that allows users to revert their last five steps. With Opera GX’s so-called "Tab Islands", it's now possible to group related tabs in order to reduce clutter. Moreover, emojis can now be assigned to tabs to identify them more easily.

Additionally, Bluesky has now been integrated into the sidebar. The aforementioned "Tab Emoji" and "Tab Islands" features still have to be enabled manually in the early bird settings. That said, the Opera GX browser is free to download.
