“Gaming Web Browser”… R U kidding me? 

-criticising 'gamer'-y ui -sitting in front of RGB monitor

Everyone complains about privacy Everyone uses Chrome

I love that Linus is using this dramatic call of caution towards Opera as if Google is trustworthy

For laptops of less ram and you are running a virtual desktop, it is a great option microsoft edge taking 13% usage of 16 tabs not used for 1 hr chrome taking 29% usage for the same 16 tabs not being used for 1 hr opera gx 2% usage for the 20 tabs not being used for 1 hr if you are a person like me opening and keeping your browser open for using it once a 45 minute interval -- it is a game changer

RAM limiter? Chrome has left the chat

Opera GX : " This is a *RAM limiter.* " Chrome : " Dear god.. " Opera GX : " There's more. " Chrome : " Noo.. "

Opera GX is actually great, another feature that wasn't mentioned here that I adore, is the battery saver. It can and has given me 2 more hours of browsing on my laptop

It bought itself back from the Chinese consortium recently. It's also got a ton more new features (including a premium VPN). Please revisit!

Opera GX: *introduces RAM limiter* Chrome: "impossible"

Linus 1 year later: *just like our sponsor, Opera, my favorite browser...*

I been using it for 1 year now and honestly I like it a lot. Not even using it because of gaming but because of its features, customization, side taskbar for messenger, WhatsApp, etc, and other features that I actually use as they come in handy and make stuff more easy and quick. And it always has a good surprise with million features you just randomly come across haha. Just an example: I wanted to convert some American measurements into metrics and I right-clicked with the intention of searching it in google for conversion but as I highlighted it the Opera GX recognized it was measurements and actually wrote me in metric as a pop-up when I highlighted the text haha. ITS FEATURES LIKE THIS that I am talking about when I say small stuff that just makes life easier!

The pop-out video feature exists in every browser it's just hidden, you have to press right-click on the video 2 times and click on the option 'picture-in-picture' and it'll do the same thing, opera just makes it easier to use.

linus: no one plays video games and watch a video at the same time me playing minecraft and watch a tutorial:

“Nobody watches a video, while playing a game” *2 monitor users are laughing*

The thing I love the most about Opera GX is that it has a sidebar application where you can play music without needing to open a new tab and you can pin it to your browser window too.

Been using Opera GX for a full year now and gotta say it’s great! I use the RAM limiter all the time and it works amazingly, even when using 16gb of RAM. The Browser music is nice to have as well. The recently added Logitech G Hub RGB support is a nice little touch too. Haven’t used Chrome once since i started using GX.

Linus: "you know what's not..." Me: *skips 45 seconds*

2:35 are we gonna ignore the fact that Internet Explorer has been dead for over 5 years and yet is still used more than Edge

1:29 Someone who owns a monitor with RGB lights on the back has no right to call anything stupid-looking.

1:42 'allegedly' my ass. it was FORCIBLY downloaded on my pc in an adware package that set it as my default browser until the end of time. I have no freaking idea what they did but the only way to remove it as the default was to FACTORY RESET my settings.

"Why would you need a ram limiter?" *me with 8gb of ram that chrome eats half of on a food day*

ive been using opera GX for awhile now and I'm honestly having fun with it more than I could with chrome, I like the web browser a lot, specifically for the whole full customization of it plus the background music which is oddly satisfying and relaxing to listen to, plus I really like that the music changes when you are typing/clicking in the browser or not its very fun to listen to the music change

Opera GX is my favorite browser not because it’s a “gaming” browser but the customization and quality of life features

Linus: "Nobody watches a video while playing a game" Me: *playing a game while watching the video*

Me who uses Opera GX more and notices it's faster than chrome: *So this is where the power went to*

" Opera GX has apparently been doing some shady stuff lately " Google : First time?

Opera GX has been my daily drive for about a year, gotta say, I absolutely love it. Haven't had any issues, it syncs far better than Chrome ever has for me, and the typing sounds must have some sort of weird effect on my creative process, because it helps me get into a flow state much better. And it's my aesthetic lol

“You know who’s not shady” I half expected him to say Firefox

2020: browser for gamers me: still waiting for games for gamers

I have tried lots of browsers, but ever since falling in love with Opera's mouse gestures years ago, I consider it a minimum requirement. The big three,(Edge, Chrome, Firefox) don't have it, though I guess I should look someday to see if they can be added by extension. I'm using Opera GX right now. I think you forgot to mention multiple workspaces: click a button to switch the window between groups of tabs, which is great for separating work/play, or putting something on backburner for a few weeks. Other good features: I use the GX corner often to keep abreast of what's going on in gaming news, not just releases. The popout video activates automatically, which helps so much when I'm watching a video but have to use another tab momentarily; the popout simply appears on top and I don't miss anything. Not totally unique to Opera, but their Speed Dial and bookmark syncing with an account are excellent features. And tabs are just the best in Opera,; the way they open, close, and rearrange is nice, but you can even see what unclosed tabs are in another instance of the browser that has your same account, so I can leave a tab open on my work computer, even close the browser window (but not the tab), and find it in the Tabs menu of Opera GX on my home computer to open it up there. I didn't know about Opera's business dealings, and I'm glad you bring that stuff to light. That said, I function better with these features, and at least when it comes to browsers, that matters more to me than misconduct by a separate branch of the company. You have to draw a line beyond which you're not going to feel responsible for what other people do, and I draw it shy of there. Not to mention, if my using the browser means they have less potential reason for offering predatory loans, I doubt I'm particularly contributing to any evil, particularly compared to Google and Microsoft's offerings. Also not to mention, if Firefox (the ethical champion?) had features like these, I would totally switch, and I think my current choice of browser tells them that more clearly than switching to a browser that lacks them would.

You can also overlay RU-vid videos like that in Chrome, just right click on the video while it's playing, then right click it again, then select "picture in picture"

"Nobody watches a video while playing a game" ...Are you kidding me?

"Nobody watches a video while playing a game" wut

Using this browser for a year it always notifies me which games are free or on sale. The interface is also very easy and beautiful.

just letting you know that the whole music thing is because in the settings there is an option to turn on backround music and they have multiple options. It is pretty cool. I also want to know how i can use the software without risking my info being stolen. I have been using it for a while

*nervously watches this video using opera*

I don’t use Opera GX for it being “gaming”. I just like the customization and not being google.

My room it’s dark even when I’m not gaming and opera looks way better than any other browser in the dark.

"Who watches video while playing?" Games that has a maze and requires a video : *we dont exist*

Linus: "Nobody uses firefox" Me: *Watching this on firefox*

Everyone: **Making Fun Of Opera** Me watching this video using opera GX "Welp I'm finna head out"

I somehow just today learned about it and I love it. Could care less about the "gaming" features but the aesthetic is great and chrome is a resource hog. And it does do a lot of cool shit

I know Linus loves grouping tabs in chrome and I do too, but at some point there were just too many groups that it become impossible to switch between tabs. I looked into opera gx for that reason because it has "Workspaces" which are basically groups with icons you can switch between now I have lots of thematical Workspaces I am regularly coming back.

I love the fact that linus said "opera have been doing some really shady stuff recently" then cuts to an advertisement for an overpriced, shitty wallet LOL

"Our table's wobbly AF, what should we do!?" "Put a spinning globe on it."

I couldn't live without the popup video, that is life changing.

Been using opera GX for 2 years i noticed that The vid quality is Better than normal browsers

Linus: "Nobody does that" Me: *watching this in a popout while playing Path of Exile* *while also using firefox*

linus: talks about how opera gx is unnececsary also linus: has a monitor with rgb on the back

He acts like the sound affects are trash but the typing noise is incredibly satisfying

"Why would you need a ram limiter?" chrome slowing my whole computer for opening 5 tabs: yes

"Opera has been doing some really shady stuff recently" Dude, you use *Chrome*

Even Opera GX's "detach video" feature alone makes it better than Chrome.

I usually watch a video while playing games.. I feel called out lmao

"Pretty shady stuff" Chrome: *Yes*

0:55 Linus is making fun of mundane objects with the word "gaming" but let's not forget when he sponsored G-Fuel, the "gaming drink"

the cpu limiter was really useful for when i used to have a crappy laptop and had to go in zoom calls for my college classes. somehow zoom would make my browser's cpu usage skyrocket which would make the call lag too much and i'd miss important things the teacher was saying, but limiting the cpu usage of the browser helped and i was able to clearly hear what my teacher was saying. yeah it sounds kinda weird, but it worked, so.... lol

1:46 "you know who is not shady? Our sponsor Opera" - him 1 year later

Dude, my information is known by just about all internet companies at this point. At least this browser can be told not to eat all my ram unlike chrome.

Finally, I can play coolmathgames to their full potential!

The fact Linus acknowledged the existence of BONEWORKS makes me more than happy.

a huge selling point is the "built-in extenstions" as if it doesn't take a literal single button press to install any add ons of your choice.

"nobody uses Firefox" Don't listen to them kurama. they do not understand our ways.

Opera GX has a lot of quality of life features that I just can’t imagine living without

I actually really love this browser. I've been using it for two or three years, and since then, I've never touched chrome, edge, or anything else.

also it steals your info!

"You know whos not shady?" *fast forward fast forward fast forward*

Linus forgets to mention that, the awarded composers didn't make the swoosh sounds, they made the background music for the browser. Yes, it has background music. You can have it play anytime you're browsing. It pauses when something else plays audio.

Well 3 years later, I thinker Opera is awesome. I mainly like the mobile app, and since I like syncing my stuff across device, I use the desktop one too.

linus: *says no one watches videos while playing a game* me: *plays game while watching this video*

"nobody uses firefox" me: *watching this on firefox*

*slaps roof of browser* this bad boy can fit so much telemetry in it

meanwhile i just started using it and i love it, it even tells you what games are on sale or are free altogether

Me watching this video about Opera GX on Opera GX while gaming *Hold my Detachable RU-vid Window*

1:46 Linus: "you know whos not shady?" Me: "yes, the Real Slim Shady"

Linus, always smoothly transitions to his sponsor, wonderful

I like that they included dark mode even without changing it in setting

2:30 "We joke how nobody uses Firefox!" The one real geek of the bunch: *Watches this video on Firefox 72*

i was a gold in overwatch when I using chrome... now im a grandmaster after using Opera GX

It does look nice, the keyboard clicks and customization. Even have Twitch on the side bar instead of having to go to the website.

"You don't wanna give opera your data" Google: yeah, that sucks P.s. last time i got notification on youtube, this comment had 80 likes... what the hell are you doing people)

"nobody uses firefox" tor users: "um hi"

the animated browser wallpapers are actually pretty cool

ironically, I had the same idea when I first heard about opera, and now I'm madly in love with it

Is there a gaming search engine which gives you everything about a game, and its all about games? Would be really helpful

5% comments: 95% comments: *I use Firefox* :

Omg I've had to put two of my monitors away during some work going on in my house and the pop out feature has been so useful to put in the corner while I'm gaming

i came back to this video just to say: little did he know that in 2 years there will be an entire fucking village for it 😂

Me who is using opera GX at this very moment: "Excusea moi"

Not trusting Opera because of "shady stuff", but still trusting Google. Yes. Makes perfect sense to me.

It is possible to have a pop-out video player in chrome, firefox, and edge, even in RU-vid where right clicking on the player opens a non-browser context menu. Just right click in the video player, and move your mouse somewhere else in the video player and click "Picture in picture".

Linus: nobody watches videos while playing games. Me: playing games and watching videos in double speed ;D

Linus: "no one uses Firefox" Germans: LOL

"no one watches a video while gaming" "no one uses Firefox" Me: does both.

I use opera gx just because of the sidebar feature. It's really useful for me to just be able to access spotify,whatsapp,telegram, and discord on the fly without needing to put an extra tab and also the workspaces feature helps me divide between work and normal browser usage.

Would be interesting to get an update on Opera, given their newfound Twitter presence.

linus: no one plays video games and watches a video at the same time me playing video games while watching a whole show:

_"nobody uses firefox"_ me using firefox rn: (. _ .)

Linus: nobody uses firefox me: watching this video on firefox

i love using opera, i use it bc it has a stock VPN, music, sidebar, even a add blocker and when you said "they baked some features in" they deep fry every picture if you toggle the "enhance image" button simelair goes with video enhancing
