Opera Releases GX Mobile Browser for Hamers
Opera Limited, one of the world's major
browser developers and a leading internet consumer brand has announced the
launch of Opera GX Mobile - the world's first mobile browser designed
specifically for gamers. Opera GX Mobile builds on the rapid 190%
year-over-year growth of Opera GX, Opera's desktop browser used by over nine
million gamers. Together, they form the perfect ecosystem of gaming-inspired
browsers.
Opera says GX Mobile (currently in beta)
has custom navigation, vibration and haptic feedback, as well as
synchronization between the mobile and desktop browsers it offers.
It has a homepage dedicated to gaming news,
deals and releases just like the desktop version too, as well as four different
color themes. Opera says its users have "relentlessly" been asking
for a mobile version since its desktop version was released. It also has a
feature called GX Corner:
GX Corner is a super handy feature for us gamers.
In the new mobile browser, it sits just below the search bar and speed dial.
Give it a tap to see a game-release calendar, daily gaming news, plus deals and
links to games on sale. It's everything you need to stay up-to-date with the
world of gaming.
The highlights of GX Mobile
Looking beyond the bold, gaming-inspired
design and different color themes, Opera GX Mobile comes with some truely
unique features. First off, you get custom navigation with the Fast Action
Button (FAB) and haptic feedback (vibrations). On top of this, you can easily
sync your mobile and desktop browsers with the Flow feature – it lets you share
files, notes, videos and gaming content like walkthroughs, tutorials and
character builds between your devices. Plus there’s instant access to GX Corner
– a one-tap space for gaming news, deals and a game release calendar.

Stylish gaming design and easy navigation
GX’s distinctive and colorful design is inspired by gaming and gaming gear. Generally, mobile browsers don’t have many style options and don’t do much for gamers’ tastes and needs. With Opera GX Mobile however, you can choose from available themes like GX Classic, Ultra Violet, Purple Haze and White Wolf.
One-handed navigation with haptic feedback
When you browse with Opera GX Mobile, you
also get to choose between the Fast Action Button (FAB) and standard
navigation. The Fast Action Button is divided into two rows: the menu (bottom
row) that lets you search and open or close tabs, and the tabs row (top row).
The FAB is always within reach of your thumb and uses vibrations when you
interact with elements of it, which is perfect when you’re on the move.
The must-have Flow feature
Everyone who already uses Opera will be
happy to hear that GX Mobile includes the Flow feature. It lets you sync your
mobile and computer browsers by simply scanning a QR code displayed in the
desktop browser using the mobile one. Flow is an encrypted, chat-like space
that connects your mobile and computer browsers so you can send files, links,
YouTube videos, photos and notes, and access them at any time on your connected
devices. You can use Flow to share files of up to 10MB in size, and gamers find
it particularly useful for sharing walkthroughs or tutorials as well as
character builds between devices.
Some other great features in Opera GX
Mobile that are worth a mention include the built-in ad blocker, and the cookie
dialog blocker, which helps you get rid of the annoying cookie dialogs that are
always in your way. Also, Opera GX Mobile protects you from those trying mine
cryptocurrencies on your device.
