New tab management features makes Opera GX a perfect gaming browser
Tired of juggling countless tabs while gaming or streaming? Opera GX's new update is here to change your browsing experience, boosting your productivity and enhancing your focus. Say goodbye to endless tab switching, as browsing just got a lot smoother and more fun.
Experience easy multitasking: Compare your online toon gear guide and check stats simultaneously. Opera GX's new update allows you to split your screen and view two web pages side-by-side. This eliminates the frustration of constantly switching windows or tabs, improving your multitasking workflow. You can now maintain your focus on the task at hand, without the distractions of hunting for the right tab. Just drag and drop a tab to arrange your workspace exactly how you like it!
Never lose track of your tabs again: For those who frequently open numerous tabs, this new update makes it incredibly easy to find what you need, quickly. Opera GX makes it simple to retrace your five last steps and instantly access recently visited pages. This is especially helpful during gaming sessions, ensuring you can easily switch between your game and character builds without losing your place.
Organize your tabs like a pro: Juggling multiple web pages, streams, and game guides? A new update lets you group related tabs together into easily collapsible islands. Think of it like organizing your in-game inventory, but for your web browsing. This keeps your workspace clutter-free and allows you to concentrate on what truly matters. Keep your multiple search results for different games on dedicated islands.
Add a touch of personality: New playful feature allows you to add emojis to your tabs for quick and easy visual identification. Whether you prefer a skull, fire, or eggplant emoji, you can choose to easily spot a Twitch stream, meme page, playlists, or anything else.
Opera GX has also integrated Bluesky app directly into the sidebar, keeping conversations and updates just a click away. This keeps you connected without disrupting your workflow. Opera GX already has Discord, Twitch, WhatsApp, X, TikTok, and Instagram built into the sidebar.
The new Opera GX update is available now. To test the Tab Emoji and Tab Islands, simply enable Early Bird in your Opera GX Settings to get started. The rest of the features – like Split Screen, Tab Traces, and Bluesky – have already been updated to the stable version of Opera GX.
New features in Opera GX | Description |
Split-Screen | View two tabs side-by-side for enhanced multitasking. To use it, simply drag a tab down to connect it to either side of your current tab, or select two tabs, right-click, and choose Create Split Screen from the context menu. |
Tab Traces | Quickly access your five most recently used tabs. Tab Traces appears automatically when there are at least 30 tabs opened. You can change the minimum number of tabs required to display this tab tracing feature in Settings. |
Tab Islands | Organize related tabs into collapsible groups for a streamlined workspace. Tab Islands, which are Opera's take on automated and context-dependent tab grouping, are created automatically when links from a page are opened in new tabs (either manually by using a context menu), or if the page opens new tabs. You can then collapse or expand these islands as needed for space. |
Tab Emoji | Add one of hundreds of available emojis to your tab groups for easy visual identification. |
Bluesky integration | Access the Bluesky app directly from the Opera GX sidebar. |
