Reviews for Opera GX: Gaming Browser

← Back to Opera GX: Gaming Browser

I really enjoyed options on the home page, as well as the ability to customize light vs dark mode, themes, etc. However, I've no longer been able to access any menu buttons, and I can't find which version number or anything I need to submit a proper ticket for their mobile help desk. Trying to submit a ticket through GX just told me it was for PC only. I really liked this browser and I find it's a shame I'm going to have to switch if I can't get the menu functions back.

I really love the app! I've never seen a feature like flow anywhere else. My only problem is that the ad block isn't strong enough, and there are no mobile extensions. I really want to switch over from Firefox, but without access to extensions, or atleast a better ad blocker, I don't think I'll be able to use Opera GX as my main browser.

So much better than using google for everything! You can have the google engine without the weird targeted ads the next day or the bloatedness from the popups and ads. I would say, for GX specifically, it's hard to get bookmarks and stuff imported, so if they made it easier it'd be perfect. It takes a little getting used to at first but after you live with it for a week you can just breeze through it like second nature. There's no lag when I scroll, no taking extra long to load, nothing.

Honestly I'd use this for a really long time since I'm a gamer but since it doesn't save data from one browser to another, it's kinda throwing me off, but shortcuts are amazing but I would like a little "X" on the top right corner of a website your on, so if you wanna close it fast just click the little "X". "Btw opera GX is the best"

I'd love to make this my primary browsing app—the controls are pretty intuitive and the app runs smoothly. But the inability to change font size is pretty annoying (I read a lot), and it's weird that the app lacks such a basic function. It'd be cool if we could get tab groups like in chrome, too. But really: font size changing. Please.

Love Opera GX, It's my main browser on the desktop. Unfortunately, the mobile app still does not support extensions, a basic function that most other browsers support, and is a must-have for any browser I consider using. I love the style of Opera GX, and it translates nicely to a mobile format. However, the features that make it stand out on desktop (GX Control, workspaces, UI, and video player enhancements) do not stand out, as they are replaced by other apps. Please, focus on extensions.

This app is good, it really is. But sometimes it can get really frustrating when it comes to scrolling. Sometimes the keyboard will appear out of nowhere while scrolling (I'm on Android by the way) sometimes I even clicked on search by accident on the keyboard, making me lose my progress and go all the way to the beginning of the search. Or it'll pop up and I have to click away from the keyboard or click back multiple times because it'll keep popping up. If you could, fix this please?

Very cool app. I've had no problems. It's a very well designed and built web browser, and useful for when I have to transfer files from my phone to my PC or vice-versa. However, my only problem is that the adblock doesn't work properly, and I have to refresh to get rid of the ad(s), kind of disappointed that the PC version of this browser has a way better built-in adblock. Other than that, this is an 8/10 for me, would recommend.

I love the style and appearance. However it would be really nice and much more favorable if you can sign into it like the PC counterpart and make it sync everything from the PC onto the phone like bookmarks, speed dial, and settings, etc. But over all it has a handful of cool features like ad blocking, VPN browsing, and shared pages from PC to phone.

Was hoping to use this as my primary browser, but it lacks the ability to sync everything that the main competition does. "My Flow" is a nice start, but I'd love a 100% seamless experience (with an account) in the same way Chrome offers. Bookmarks, history, and saved form data should be available everywhere. I was super disappointed when I went to go grab a bookmark I knew I had saved at home but didn't have that option. Keeping it as a backup mobile browser for now as I'm sure it will improve!

This app and Browser is amazing! I have used it on PC and Android for a couple months now and its a great experience. The mobile version has some issues though. Its missing many features from the PC version. The main one that I can't live without is bookmarks! I switched from Chrome and I need to be able to save, edit, and access my bookmarkes/bookmarked websites from both my phone and PC. I understand your team is working hard to add features. Please make this a TOP priority and I'll be happy!

I love the fast navigation button and the dark theme and color options. But, it has never blocked cookie dialogue boxes even though it's been set to do so since day 1. Also, you cannot open links in external apps if using private window, and you can't open links (clicked outside of browser) in private windows. I can in Firefox, so my default browser has changed. Some sites are unreadable with dark pages on. Hope I can make GX default again in the future.

Has someone who was recommended this browser, I can easily say I prefer over every other browser. I get so much more control while I am browsing, and it has some impressive details for personalization. I've always hated Google Chrome, I was a Firefox user as long as I can remember. And sure the other browsers have easier compatibility with a lot of websites, and the occasional glitch / crash if you 'abuse' the browser window. A very unique, user friendly browser. Never going back lol.

The desktop/laptop version of this browser is amazing, and a must-have. It's my default browser now, and I recommend you switch right now. I'm hoping they will build out the mobile version to match the desktop version because it's lacking big time with how it currently is. All the best features are missing, and I don't even see a way to connect your Opera account or transfer your bookmarks and all that. Actually, I don't even see a bookmark tab at all. It's just really bare bones currently.

While I do love this browser, PC just being better. Either you are scamming or misleading people or something. You have a whole category of console games which are labeled "free" yet when you go to them, every single one has a price attached to it, I've got the screenshots to prove this as well. I'm pretty sure that doing something like that has to be illegal. Don't add a FREE label to items which are not free to obtain. Something very sketchy is going on with you guys and it needs to stop now

Frustrating. Speed dial and bookmarks are no where to be found. It acts like chrome most of the time but then I can't actually access about half the settings? I dunno. Seems like it's not ready to be on mobile or something. Edit: bookmarks can be found, but aren't synced? Edit again: I'm giving one more star for the support on this review. Last question, why is it impossible to view my passwords via the mobile app? This is big important for a daily driver browser for me.

I was really hoping that I would be able to just swap back and forth between my phone and computer seamlessly. That's almost the entire point of Flow. But here's one major thing missing: Bookmarks. I cannot access the bookmarks I made on PC through the mobile app. Looking into it, that just seems to be how it works. The majority of other browsers that have an app version let you access those bookmarks easily. Im going to have to switch away until that gets added. A complete deal breaker for me

I'm enjoying the app along with the browser on PC. My problem is that even if you connect both the PC and your phone with each other, you still have to manually enter the passwords on mobile, it doesn't really transfer. It feels fast, but also has a weird time loading images. In addition it's been a pain trying to transfer my mobile chrome to mobile Opera as well, since I have to do it manually. Hopefully after they work it out I can do a full transfer. Since Chrome is going to stop ad blocks.

I really want to like this browser. There's a lot of cool stuff about it. And it's especially pretty. But my issue with it is a small thing but a huge deal. #1. No way to direct the browser forward. Only reload and back. So if you back up, you'll have to find and click the link. Why not just have a forward button? #2. While the UI is beautiful, all phone browsers should have the option to hide the UI as you scroll down a page. The UI takes up quite a bit of screen space, and this is a phone...

An excellent option for those who use Discord often to game with their friends. Even if you don't, this browser is super cool and insanely customizable. I also BELIEVE it's good for those who value privacy as long as you opt out of all data collection options and set a default browser that has a user privacy system. (ex DuckDuckGo, etc) Overall, it's an awesome browser, and I dont see myself switching anytime soon. 👌
