Opera GX ships with adaptive background music

The dynamic background music is an ambient downtempo that will immerse you further in your gaming-themed browser. Actively browsing, clicking and typing intensifies the music, for example, while slowly scrolling and reading will take the music down a notch. This dynamic reaction to your activity blends into the background when you’re in focus-mode, so you often don’t notice it until you miss it.

Pretty neat.

Turned off the "Dynamic audio visualizer" setting though to quiet down my cpu fan. Regular Opera needs that option for the tab audio indicator icon for the same reason.

It looks tempting. But I will not use this browser until it is possible to disable and remove the "GX CORNER" tab.

@thortik: You can put gx corner on sidebar.

BABE has a flag and a setting switch, but it's not working.

@kened: Really. They may have recently implemented this feature. Previously, this could not be done. Thanks.

@burnout426: Where can I turn it off? I don't need it because of the CPU, I simply find that icon annoying. I've searched the settings and flags and can't find it.

@smnstrk Goto the URL opera://settings/background_music_settings and you'll see the option when background music is on.

@smnstrk Was just saying that Opera should have an option for that icon too, but it doesn't.

This is just awesome. The music was all soothing when I read your article and now that I'm writing this comment it adds some nice background bass beats that aren't too aggressive. That's just - wow.

I could have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1yTyAh8IA8 (at least an instrumental version) as the background music.

This is a great update, except it removed the flag that kept Recent Tabs in place of Search in Tabs. I love the new background music, but I want my feature back.

I cannot hear any background music even with the feature switched on and the volume on 100%

@Admiralpqr If you click on gx control button (images below), background music goes on/off.
