What it is
Opera reworked for gamers. It has one feature no other browser offers: you set the ceiling on how much RAM and CPU the browser may use. That directly addresses frame drops from leaving a browser open while gaming.
When to pick this
If a browser left open while gaming costs you frames. Without that problem, Opera or Chrome will do.
Details
RAM and CPU limiters
Sliders cap the resources the browser may take, so it stops competing with a running game.
Gaming features
It collects free-game giveaways and sale news, and Twitch and Discord can be pinned to the sidebar.
Look
The default theme is dark with strong accent colours. If that is not for you, plain Opera is the calmer choice.
After a reformat
An Opera account brings it back
Bookmarks, passwords and open tabs sync. GX Control (CPU, RAM and network limits), themes and sounds live only on the PC and need setting again.
Discord and Twitch in the sidebar
Each service pinned to the sidebar needs signing in again.
