With browsers on my mind, I gave Opera GX a go and now Google Chrome looks even worse

techradar.com:

Recently I came across a relatively new browser (initially created in 2019), or more like a special version of the main Opera browser, called Opera GX. 

It touts that it’s a “browser for gamers” and while that’s clearly a bit of an exaggeration, it has plenty of features that gamers would benefit from. Not to mention that the interface alone bears a strong resemblance to anything you’d find in Cyberpunk 2077.

From controlling how much of any given resource websites can use to built-in adblocker to its tight integrations with Discord, YouTube Music, and more directly through the browser interface, there are near endless ways users can augment their experience with Opera GX. You can even customizing browser backgrounds and music.

With such a wide breadth of options and enhancements, everyone, but especially the gamers that Opera is clearly targeted, should give Opera GX a try. After all, if a staunch supporter of Mozilla Firefox like myself can be impressed, then you just might find yourself as pleasantly surprised as I did.

One of Opera GX's main features is the CPU, RAM, network limiters, and hot tab killer which allow users to control how much of those resources are impacted by the browser, even letting you automatically shut down particular tabs that hog too much of those values. It’s a simple set of features that offers specialized control over your internet experience that you can't even get from the best Google Chrome extensions, at least not easily.

Being able to put this kind of limit on a browser is critial, since they can quickly start eating up a surprising amount of your system's resources. Opera GX's has a soft and hard toggleable option for the limiter, with the soft option meaning that there’s some wiggle room
