Part of a "gaming overlay" at the top left corner of the browser?

Hi, guys.

Not a complaint.....not an issue to "fix". More just a curiosity, which has got me wondering..!

I re-pack Opera - along with several other Chromium-based browsers - into 'portable', self-contained builds for the Puppy Linux community. No modifications to the code-base itself, just those which keep it all within a single directory, along with scripts to add/remove Menu entries if you want to move the thing (these will even run from a flash drive).

Anyways; my question is this. I've noticed, with this current build - standard Opera browser, v107.0.5045.36 - what appears to be part of a "gaming overlay"? Top left corner of the browser.....showing

GL xxx FPS
BLIT - VSYNC ON

Now, this is the sort of thing I might expect to see in a gaming-oriented browser, say, like Opera GX? Except that there IS no Linux build of Opera GX!

FYI, I run a discrete Nvidia GPU - nowt special, just a GeForce GT710 (the one the gamers all love to take the p**s out of) - using the last driver that supported this card (470.199.02), and I run with hardware acceleration enabled.

Do I have an oddity here, or has anybody else noticed this in the current Linux build? Possibly related to using an older driver..? This doesn't show up in any other Chromium-based browser, just Opera. (Like I said, I'm not complaining.....it's actually rather welcome!)

Ideas?

Mike.
