Opera GX is getting its biggest update ever featuring new UI, Forced Dark Mode, more

One of the most popular browsers, Opera, is getting one of its biggest updates ever. The latest version of Opera GX features a brand-new UI, a forced Dark Mode, a plethora of quality-of-life improvements, enhanced performance, and much more.

First off, Opera GX received a major facelift, which promises to offer users a fresher, more immersive feel, adding a new depth to interactions. The star of this update is “UNderwave,” a design approach that gives Opera GX a sleek, game-oriented look.

Two new mods that enhance the Underwave experience are now available for Opera GX users – Underwave Mod and Tech Mod, each with its own unique colors, music, and sound effects.

Besides that, Opera has added even more customization options, allowing users to adjust the layout and transparency of interface elements to blend with the background.



There’s also a new MidnightFX shader available for Opera GX users, which reduces blue light exposure and adjusts page contrast for a gentler, eye-friendly experience. This can be paired with Forced Dark Mode, which applies dark mode to all web pages.

The latest Opera GX update includes many under-the-hood improvements too. The biggest one is the new Multithreaded Compositor UI engine, which keeps the browser fast and responsive, even with multiple Mods and customizations running. The new UI engine also ensures that animations, shaders, and Mods perform smoothly.
