      Hi,

      Thanks again to the developers for creating a Linux version of Opera GX.
      It has been running fine on my system, but was wondering if there was any way to increase the UI font size?
      Firefox is fine, but Chrome based browsers are a bit small for my eyesight. I could change the UI size on Vivaldi to about 120% to match Firefox.

      Thanks

        @rakeshsingh Resolved with "--force-device-scale-factor=1.25"
        I map Super+O in XFCE to launch /usr/bin/opera-gx --force-device-scale-factor=1.25

        Not recommended, but I also changed the shortcut.

        bat /usr/share/applications/opera-gx.desktop
