@linuxrocks2000 when it comes to performance, I feel that it comes down to whether the browser supports hardware acceleration and if the pages you're browsing have a lot of ads.
So on Linux, chrome/chromium hardware acceleration isn't always a given. Or at least it wasn't, I haven't checked if things have changed but before you would have to build Chromium with hardware acceleration enabled.
As to the ads, the browser would require to have an ad blocker automatically built in.
But yeah, I've been pretty busy with work. I haven't checked out Firefox GX, but those Firefox-gx guys should add my suggestions if they haven't already.

I would also like Opera GX for Linux, as well as 64 bit AMD and ARM packages.

it's been 4 years waiting for Opera GX for Linux and 4 year of pleading. It seem opera is not listening to it's user, it's like they don't care or they don't have the ability to do so. what beef do you have with Linux and Linux users in general that you are not making one for Linux.

uhh... you may guessed wrong. opera GX is only avaible on Win,Mac,Android and IOS. but theres a solution. Launch the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T. Install the Wine package using APT. The package name for the x86 version is wine32 and wine64 for x64 sudo apt-get install wine32. sudo apt-get install wine64. Enter y/yes when the installation prompt comes up. but if your not a scripter, make sure that you comuter has 32-bits or 64-bits. then do this steps. open terminal by pressing Ctrl+alt+T. then type "sudo apt update" and press ↵Enter, This will update the software repository.
For 64-bit systems: "sudo apt install wine64"
For 32-bit systems: "sudo apt install wine32"
If you are using Fedora or Redhat, install Wine using "kbd sudo dnf install winehq-stable". Type y to confirm the installation. When prompted to enter "y" or "n," press "y" to confirm the installation. Type in "winecfg" and press ↵ Enter. This creates a Windows home directory for Wine. Look for a confirmation message that says something like "created the configuration directory 'home/name/.wine'". If prompted to install any missing packages here, click Install in the prompt window and wait for the packages to install. Select a Windows version and click Apply. Click the "Windows Version" drop-down box at the bottom of the "Wine configuration" window, then click the version of Windows (e.g., Windows10) that you want to use. Then click Apply in the lower-right corner. Click OK. This button is at the bottom of the window. Clicking it closes the Window. then you can install any windows pograms (.EXE). install opera GX that you can find it on the downloads, and then right click "OperaGXsetup.exe", and then click "open with". then scroll untill you find "Winhlp32". then continue using the installation pogress. and then enjoy ur Opera GX! (this works well in Ubuntu) -

@eratedkrill not only is this is a well-known solution, it's a bad one. This is for a number of complex reasons under the hood, but basically Wine isn't perfect - it doesn't have the same performance as native binaries and is missing a lot of support.
As a Fedora user I can tell you that's definitely wrong - the package iswine-core(and has separate i686 and x86_64 builds available, so you don't manually install wine64), and we just usesudolike everyone else
What we want is a Linux build (or at least source code so we can build it ourselves and write patches for individual distros), for native performance and fewer bugs. If the only way to get GX is to run it in Wine, I'm just gonna use Firefox.

@linuxrocks2000 fax I want opera GX for its resouce saving software and I will use another browser if we do not get opera soon. Another browser will come out soon I feel if you guys don't get this out and take over the Linux user.

help - Addicted to GX and now torn away from it:
I realize you have probably heard this many times in other threads, but another one is worth it.
Recently, I switched to Opera GX for mostly work actually.IT has made my days so much better - I love it.
I use Ubuntu Linux at home, and was looking for a workaround(wine is not working for me sadly)I finally went with Opera one, but I am missing so many of the features I might either switch back to windows(yes just for this briowser), Or I will have to go back to Brave or Chrome or whatever.
Are there any plans for this? Is there any way for me to manually combine the assets from the two to make it work? I am desperate. Please help! I may-have to just wipe my PC or dual boot. I am willing to pay money for this. Please tell me you have plans for this. You have a very unique special browser in GX and one is not not there for me.
