This is PATHETIC (My Opinions on Opera GX)

Cue the “I got an Opera GX ad on this video” comments

Opera GX also runs on an outdated version of Chromium. I tried doing schoolwork on there and it said that my browser was too old

fun fact: firefox supports custom css so you can customize the browser's ui even more

By far the most annoying part of it is the marketing. Their Twitter account is the embodiment of "Hi fellow kids." However even more annoying than that is the yes-man cult around the said account.

Even better: don't listen to any sponsorships because they are all shady (betterhelp, raid shadow legends, established titles, raycon, need I say more?)

No thanks Opera GX! In this house, we only use Chrome Spyware Technology.

Fun fact: the regular Opera browser is running on the latest chromium version meanwhile Opera GX doesn't, so it isn't secure and worst of all doesn't block any ads. Idk why you would use this browser unironically when even the regular Opera browser, which openly admitted to selling your data, would even be on the latest chromium version

I challenged myself to do my daily browsing routine on Opera GX for a month instead of Firefox back in 2022. Firefox gave me no issues, but Opera GX? Blue Screen of Death just while trying to open all my tabs on Day 0, which didn't even count towards the challenge yet. BSoD from trying to watch YouTube while playing a video game on Day 1... three times. Got 7 BSoDs on Day 2 from trying to stream Netflix. Already more than a few months worth of BSoDs in just 3 days. My challenge was slated to end on January 1st of 2023. It got forcibly ended on December 22nd of 2022 when my SSD died, 5 years earlier than it should have. It didn't just corrupt all of my data - it zeroed out all of the data. It was completely gone. I had to buy a new SSD and beg family members to help me recover any and all files I had ever sent to them. I've been keeping physical and cloud-based backups ever since.

Avoid black and red things that market themselves towards gamers

you know when something is labeled as "gamer" it is supposedly to be very fast but ogx is fucking sluggish.

Opera GX has also been getting accused about stealing personal data lately

oh boy! I love downloading malicious spyware poorly disguised as a gamer Browser!!!

They are the embodiment of the typical "How do you do fellow kids" company

gotta love how whenever he is searching up something (other than opera gx's main features) he uses literally any other browser

love how every time the word "gamers" was mentioned it just had to be bass boosted and spoken with emphasis

Sorry China but here in this house we only use American spyware

Correction as to the proxy thing: a VPN and a proxy are actually pretty much equivalent in this case, though it's still really weird how they choose to advertise it falsely. It's probably because people are aware of the term "VPN", and they are not aware of the term "proxy", so it's easier to advertise it as a feature. There also seems to be a lot of confusion about how VPNs and IP addresses work. The only thing a VPN (or a proxy, in this case) does is allowing you to connect to the internet from a different place, and the connection to that place is secure. That doesn't mean, however, that the connection from that place to the internet is secure. So, if your connection to YouTube was insecure, using a VPN would only mean that you are making this insecure connection from the VPN provider's network, to which your connection is secure, but that doesn't make it secure. But guess what - that HTTPS thing, the one most websites nowadays enforce, secures your connection already, so VPN or no VPN, you are good anyways, making using VPNs for "security" mostly pointless (there are cases where using a VPN might be less insecure than not using it, if your connection isn't secure already, ie. no HTTPS). IP addresses on the other hand are, by design of the internet, public information that you are meant to share with everyone. It's necessary that a website knows your IP address for you to connect to it. The only issue with sharing your IP address is that it's possible to get your general location (which is often very inaccurate) based on it, and you might want to avoid that, in which case using a VPN makes sense (the VPN provider will still know your IP address, though). My credentials: I deal with networking, I guess.

as someone with a laptop that will overheat if i have too many tabs open on chrome, opera gx has been really good for me. i hardly have to deal with the annoying fan noise if i have more than like 5 tabs open its great. also when i play games i now dont have to shut down my browser to avoid the game being practically unplayable due to the lag, i just put down the ram limiter to like 2.25gb but yeah apart from that everything else it offers is sorta whatever (especially the vpn its SUUUPER slow)

This is Agent 411 from Opera GX. We are approaching your location at a extreme speed...

Opera GX is something you download on a friends unattended PC as a joke
