It uses less resources for one thing. It has a built-in adblocker that isn't terrible.
With the GX version now, it has a better background display with music that loops that I enjoy, browser sounds when you open and close tabs as well as little clips of noise that recognizes when you type. There is a sidebar that I can use to access certain websites without actually going to them (Twitch and Twitter so far).
Also another personal positive there is a "GX Corner" that tells me of upcoming game releases, trailers, any free games that are available on platforms, any deals that are currently going on, etc.
screen shots of said browser please

If you're intrigued, just give it a download. Opera GX browser.
If you don't like it, just uninstall it and go back to what you like. I just like exploring other browser options. I haven't used Chrome/Firefox/etc in many years.
It's been Brave and Opera for many years for my personal use with a bit of Vivaldi even.

I always use multiple browsers for safety and REDACTED review

I haven't seen any issues using it. Plus I generally use multiple privacy extensions in general that block things in general, but like that states even if its in the browser itself it wouldn't do anything against it. Plus, nothing in there even remotely states that Opera = spyware. Just questions. Besides, Chrome and Firefox users are probably hit harder anyways. They have both been hit multiple times with breaches in their servers.

Goodbye, Chrome: Google’s Web browser has become spy software
Our latest privacy experiment found Chrome ushered more than 11,000 tracker cookies into our browser — in a single week. Here’s why Firefox is better.

You can find flaws in every browser.

10. GFriend – MAGO
MAGO capped off a year of musical reinvention for GFriend, repainting their sound with a thumping disco beat. It’s as smooth as butter, pulsing forward with glossy synth textures that set the perfect stage for a surging chorus. And like the best disco songs, MAGO grows to a swirling, singalong hook that beckons listeners to the dancefloor with an effortless sense of style. (

6. Twice – I Can’t Stop Me
Twice have been one of the biggest pop groups on the planet for years now, yet this is the first time they’ve leapt into my top ten. All it took was an ultra-catchy retro track. I Can’t Stop Me is the perfect conduit for their expressive charms, built upon an icy synth riff and percolating electro bass. But, it’s the serpentine refrain at the heart of the song that makes this a true triumph. It’s the ideal blend of cool, sly and emotive, relying on full-throated melody rather than the sing-talk exclamations preferred by so many others.

Icsm ranked #1 female song !!!

Vivaldi is best.

I finally got sick of Firefox Mobile because they hid bookmarks from the new tab page with no option to put them back. Making things worse just to make changes

This holiday season has just went by so quick :(
Only a few days left until Christmas, then one week after that and it'll be 2021.
