"Gaming browser" carries the same weight as "blinker fluid"

There is a bad bot problem here. If you see a bot, DON'T REPLY, REPORT.

At the end of the day, every browser is spying on you no matter how much they claim that privacy is important to them. It's just a matter of picking the one that you hate the least.

Microsoft Edge is NOT Open Source. The repository is only a license and readme file.

As a rule of thumb, I generally slowly stop using free/freemium products that somehow sponsor a shit ton of influencers, not for any grand or particular reason, just feels like something's wrong.

Real question is are there still people that trust Google Chrome?

My main complaint about modern Opera is that it stopped using its own Presto rendering engine and just decided to follow the crowd and switch to Chromium, and I'm a web dev who made my bones during the IE6 vs Firefox days right before the first version of Google Chrome dropped when IE-only HTML and CSS on websites was the norm and I sometimes had to fight to even get clients to consider Safari users as well before the iPhone released.

I love how there was audio of music playing in the background at the start of the video. Just loud enough that it made me look out my window to see who was so happy to share their music while in their car outside my house.

But their Twitter PR is SOOOOO relatable and quirky, right?

Opera GX: Claims to use less RAM than other browsers. Also Opera GX: Uses the most RAM out of all the browsers I've used. Edit: Yes, you can limit the RAM usage on Opera GX, but limiting it to below what it takes makes the browser nigh unusable.

Also quick note: Their mobile version of GX is a barebones normal browser. Not similar to the PC version if you're curious about memory limiting features or the funky filters.

I never understood why we need a "gaming" browser anyways. Then again, cynical branding works if your marketing is good enough...

How do they make enough money to sponsor every YouTuber if they aren’t selling your data to someone?

The one thing that I think Muta got wrong is about the GX Corner. While yes, you cannot remove the tab, the tab is not actually "active" so it doesnt actually take from the system resources as far as I know. When I start Opera GX, it immediately opens a tab with the Speed Dial. It doesnt open the GX Corner. The GX Corner doesnt start working and it doesnt become a real tab UNTIL you click on it. After that it stays active, however you can just turn off the browser and reopen it so it deactivates.

I'm a former Opera GX user, I switched to Brave 6 months ago and haven't miss Opera since

I don't trust computer, there's a lot of backdoor and vulnerability in the hardwares... And that's why I use only Stones🗿

As someone that has yet to have an issue with GX, I appreciate that there's a different perspective on it. I don't play any of the games through the browser anyhow and only use it like I use any other browser.
