I downloaded it and I must admit it looks pretty dope. You can limit the CPU and RAM usage and it has some cool integrations. What are your thoughts on this and any Opera users among you?

Looks pretty good. Downloaded it and I might find it useful.

Let's see if they will take any % from Chrome

I honestly think they will with this approach. I just instantly clicked when I saw the ad on Youtube, I can imagine all the Twitch viewers and gamers doing the same. Great work done by Opera, hope they become a major market player.

Good marketing but a useless browser. Doesn't do anything for gaming other than the cool design. A computer powerful enough to play quality games doesn't need to limit browser resources.

You realise LOL, Overwatch, CS:GO and Fortnite are the most played (and watched) games? None of them require a high-end PC to play and I'm sure limiting browser resources will prove it's worth IF implemented correctly + Twitch and messenger integration. The browser still has a long way to go but calling it useless means you didn't even read the features before commenting. I agree the marketing is well thought out.

Overwatch and fortnite need a decent PC though . frame drops are gonna cost you a lot while playing these two games.

Just installed. Looks great and has a ton of useful features. I am always needing new browsers for managing social profiles so why not.

I played them on a 6-year-old PC without any issues. Decent =/= high-end

My PC isn't exactly a high end gaming rig and I've played LOL with multiple browser tabs open, quite often listening to music from YouTube and I've never had problems with the game. I did read the features and they are nothing but fancy talk to pull in gamers or those who like the design. If not a potato PC then browser resource use should not affect gaming at all.

I hate opera because of lack of many addons that firefox has. Even chrome is better than Opera.

I agree that is something they will have to work on. I don't use many plugins, so that doesn't affect me much.

Anyone downloaded? Any good?

I was talking playing both the games competitively.
I played overwatch in 750 ti with i3 processor and 4 gb
It was working smoothly but i was never able get out of silver because of the graphic and lag issues.
thats why i switched to 1080 and 16 gig ram + i7
for me this is decent to play any game competitively.

The limiters are nice, been using Opera for years as a default browser for macs. I run into very few people that are aware it even exists.
