I’ve never understood the appeal of OperaGX. It’s always seemed over-engineered and full of features I’ll never use.

And their Twitter is so off-putting and posts so questionable stuff that I don’t really want to be associated with that browser

That's just gaming in general though, isn't it? Overengineered and ugly-flashy is just the gamer aesthetic.

It's also chromium based which is a big no these days for me personally

Being able to set a limit on RAM and CPU being used is pretty great. Being able to easily see which tabs are using the most of each is even better. I use it for sites that are hogs in Firefox, and sites that don't load right in Firefox.

I don't get it, there's nothing political about this or am I just blind?

Edit: actually after waking up a bit and seeing other posts on this community i get the joke now

It’s just a joke that gamers don’t want anything “woke” in their games. So a browser made for gamers of course won’t have anything woke in it.

It’s just a trait of circlejerk communities, recycling jokes over and over again on every post

Chromium is that you?

Damn do they make a wokeness addon for this? I can't browse the web in a browser that isn't woke

Anyone remember Opera Neon?
