      So i got some bonkers suggestions that will improve the browser.

      1. Opera GX EQ
        Having an EQ in the sidebar would be really cool. I love EQs they improve everything so much so if there would be an eq here then this browser would be godly. You can also make it more than an eq like the app called equalizer APO or viper4android which you can control the bass, impulse response, clarity etc but an eq is good enough.

      2. Unique mechanical switches typing sounds.
        The current typing sound is decent but the sound is no where near "mechanical". So like the eq, i want a Opera GX typing sound control on the sidebar. It doesnt need to have all the mechanical switches only the best ones for each category. Example, for the category linear it should have the typing sound of the JWK Ultimate Blacks, Gateron Blank Ink V2s, etc switches because theyre basically the best out there for linear. There are other types of switches too like tactile (gotta have boba u4t typing sound). I would also love to have more control with the typing sounds and what i mean by that is the loudness. For now its really quiet for my opinion so yeah.

      3. Faster downloader.
        Now what makes me rage is when the browser built in downloader is so slowwwww. So the downloader here is nothing special its just the same as chrome which is why i have internet download manager. If you can make it as fast or faster than the internet downlad manager then that would totally be bonkers.

      4. Torrent downloader
        Nothing much i basically need this because i download lots of torrents.

      5. Put a "not recommended" sign on the vpn.
        So many ppl think the built in vpn is cool but when they use it its just slow and dumb ppl might stop using the browser. So atleast make a warning sign to only use this for bypassing or some other stuff.

      6. Gaming center
        I recently found out that X mouse button is a malware so i need a serious alternative. So what you guys should do is make a center where all the X mouse buttons's features (Except those that are dangerous) like the double click on the left button/click, scroll click, adjust debounce time etc would be there. Also make an option for the thing that you can make the things you changed disabled for the browser because i dont wanna find some out of the box ways to turn it off.

      Note Some of the features might be too great so you can create an opera gx premium or smth with these and i'll buy it even for 100$
      NOTE: Some features will require opera gx in startup apps to make it global and not only for the browser especially for eq and typing sound

        Hello, I am an Opera GX user and I really love the browser. Here are some features that would drastically improve the browser and put it above the rest:

        • Built-in translator.
        • A little more customization in terms of the interface.
        • The ability to create browser themes and share them with the community.
        • An option that deletes All Data like the browsing history when you close the browser.
        • The ability to change the cover by uploading images on speed-dial sites.
        • The ability to hide the bookmarks bar, except in speed dial.
        • The chance to earn GX cryptocurrency while browsing.
        • Improve data synchronization with opera account to save bookmarks and speed-dial.
        • Built-in password manager service encrypted with zero-knowledge security model (like "LastPass").

        I am aware of the difficulty of implementing all these features, but I believe that this is possible in the future, and that will make your browser stand out from the competition.

        Thanks to the Opera GX team for considering my recommendations.

          Regarding Picture-in-Picture option. After changes from regular Opera browser, i noticed that the Opera GX do not have the PiP option anymore.
          So perhaps, will there be PiP option on Opera GX?

            Hi,

            I am an Opera GX user since recently (thanks to Let's Game It Out) and was very surprised to discover that a feature which is common to most browser since a very long time is missing in such an advanced and customizable browser as Opera GX:
            Please give us an option to enable the dialog box that let us open a file when downloading it. You could even improve the classic ubiquitous on by adding some more options as "Save and Open" to still ask where the user wants to save the file and open it when its done.

            I have done some research and have found out that this is a long time ask for a lot of Opera (not only Opera GX) users who were (as I am) very disappointed to lose this feature.
            I thus wanted to clarify some points:

            • There will be no drawback in adding this feature if you add it as unactivated per default as users that were, as it has been reported, "confused" by not knowing whether the file is somewhere on the hard drive or not will not see any change
            • Opera GX is mostly put forward as a browser designed for "gamers". I truly believe you can consider this marketing target as different from the lamba user who does not understand how downloading works and what is a temporary and/or cache folder
            • It really is a loss compared to other browsers and has already pushed out many users (I have seen many reporting quitting Opera browsers in topics about this feature and friends I warn about this before making them chose Opera GX often consider it too much of a loss to start using OGX)

            Best Regards and thanks for all the many useful features and customization options you did keep and add to this browser.

              This is really quite perfect for me. I have been using almost exclusively lately. It just works better for my internet and in-game performance. My only two gripes are these:

              1. I would like to be able to ctrl-click tabs from one instance of my browser, and collectively move them to the other instance. As in, if I have two open windows of Opera, I can drag any number of tabs from one to the other all at once through multiselecting.

              2. When closing out of tabs, they currently grow instantly to fill up the new empty space, but it would be nice if they stayed where they are until I am done exiting out of tabs. If you want an example of what I mean, in Google Chrome you can open like 20 tabs, and if you just spam click the "x" button in one place on one of the tabs, the rest will stay the same size and just move to the position of your mouse so that you can just hit x on them over and over again, and then AFTER you are done they fill in the space on the top bar.

              Those are the only two things that I would adore. That and being able to customize the top bar graphic, but that's more of a luxurious request than functional.

                Add custom sounds for browser sounds, like Typing Sounds, Closing Tabs, etc.

                  It would be nice to be able to request games for opera to look out for sales.

                    Opera GX should have some sort of tab grouping feature, Its the only thing keeping me from switching from chrome to GX. I have multiple classes that I need to keep multiple tabs open for and I could never deal with 30+ ungrouped tabs.

                          Can the browser please let us choose our own search engines instead of being limited to a few predefined ones?

                            @rvg2022 the only solution is bookmarks.

                              Hi, I wanted to suggest if we could get maybe seasonal background music. I really like that when I zone out while on some random website I'm not sitting in silence.

                              The background music would only need to be vaguely in the spirit of the season so generally spooky for Halloween and vaguely jingle-belly for christmas. That's all I have on that though.

                                Please remove the Lightness constraint for both light and dark themes. I know it might make Opera GX ugly but some of us like it this way.

                                  Have speed dial for different workspaces be able to have different things on the speed dial. I use my speed dial for direct links to assignments and workspaces for each class, but having different links in different workspaces would make the speed dial way less clunky

                                    Opera GX should add a feature where you can group tabs to make organizing easier.

                                      I would like to see a feature that allows you to change position of sites on the starting page (so you can drag them freely into any corner of the screen you want, or at least so you can move them into a designed position lower, more to the right or more to the left, etc.). I think it would let users customize their brower even more, which is good, and surely it would greatly help with situation, when a site is covering too much of wallpaper, so it doesn't look nice.

                                        i just made a bug report regarding the search engines feature, so while it's still on my mind i figured i'd request this. there should be a way to edit or disable the preset search engines like you can with the custom ones

                                          I would really like to use keyboard sounds with the classic theme. I really liked the new themes, but i prefer customize my own classic theme with stuff like browser and keyboard sounds. Thanks ^^.
