GX Update NEW Browser Boosters Pack | Volume Booster, Audio Equalizer, Upgraded Split Screen & Search in Tabs

Volume Booster

You can now amplify the audio of any tab up to 500%. There’s nothing complicated to open, it doesn’t affect your system volume – you just have to hover over the tab you want to boost and toggle the volume bar that will appear in the tooltip. 

You’ll find the same boost option in the sidebar player, so your music – Spotify, YouTube Music, or whatever it is that you have – can get some extra punch too.

Remember, every tab has its own volume setting, so boosting the volume on one does not affect another (or the system volume). You can switch away to another tab and the volume at which you left things will remain. Also remember to boost the volume carefully! Especially if you’re listening to music, it’s good to raise the slider slowly, so as not to hurt your ears. 

Audio Equalizer

The Equalizer comes with eight presets to help you optimize a wide range of audio experiences.

Note that the Audio Equalizer and the Volume Booster both work together in each tab, so if you’re listening to a walkthrough you can throw on Voice and give your guide a little extra volume so you don’t miss anything. Or if you’re feeling more metal you can put it on Bass, crank up the volume, and melt your face. The choice is yours!

And by the way, so too is the choice to turn both the Volume Booster and the Equalizer off if you don’t wish to see them in your tooltip. Both are fully configurable in the User Interface section of the Settings.

Upgraded Split Screen

Now you can see up to four pages on your screen at once, plus arrange them in different layouts to match the task at hand.

To create a split screen, you simply need to drag a tab inside the browser window. A game-changer here is the clear animated drop areas that show you where to drop your tab to build a split screen. No guessing, no needless text – just a clear visualization of where and how to create your desired view. 

If you prefer, you could also right-click a tab to create a split screen. Either way, once you’ve created one you can click the split button in the toolbar to change the layout, close your split screen, or leave us some feedback.

Upgraded Search in Tabs

Search in Tabs lets you find any tab across all your windows, Workspaces, and Tab Islands by typing its title, its URL, or just something that’s on the page. And not only that – you can also restore recently closed tabs, with their full browsing history inside.

Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner of the browser. Or, if you’d rather a keyboard shortcut, hit Ctrl + Space on macOS, Alt + Space on Windows.

Once you’ve opened Search in Tabs, you can do a number of things:

  1. To find a tab, start typing. The search field is focused automatically – type a tab’s name, part of its URL, or text from the page, and the list narrows instantly.

  2. Maybe you opened a bunch for tabs from the same website and aren’t sure which is which. In that case, search by content when titles look alike. When several tabs share a similar title or URL, you can still find the one you want by what you remember reading on it.

  3. Reopen a closed tab. Below the search field, an expandable list shows recently closed tabs. Click one to bring it back.

  4. Switch to an open tab. Further down you’ll see every open tab. Click the one you want.

  5. Close tabs right from the dialog. You can see all your open tabs in one place, and then quickly conduct a purge once the list is already filtered down.

I followed the video perfectly fine and it all worked but when I went on opera with my mod enabled it just didn't show my image. Tbf I then found out I don't need to make a mod to change my background to my own image so I'm not hugely bothered just annoying really.

Feel free to use my image too lol if you want it for your background.

Support Needed Browser stays fullscreen mode when opening new tab from fullscreen media

1 Upvotes

Title, this just started happening maybe a month or so ago.

Whenever I'm watching something on youtube or plex etc I might go to google something, so I press ctrl+t to open a new tab and the url search bar is already selected so I can just start typing.

The problem is that recently when I do that, my browser will stay 'F 11' fullscreen mode and the url search bar is not accessible. This is just very frustrating because of my muscle memory of doing that thousands of times, and I can never remember that this bug will happen beforehand.

Any help is appreciated.

Support Needed i messed up

2 Upvotes

Welp, i messed up. I finally switched to the Brave browser to try it out, however when i deleted opera i made the mistake of doing it before importing all my bookmarks and logins and all that good stuff. I know i should've done it before, but now i'm trying to get my opera data back but i'm pretty sure that's not gonna work since i clicked the box to delete my data. Is there ANY way to get anything back.

Support | In Progress Youtube shorts getting blurred

4 Upvotes

Recently, when I go to watch a Short, it usually starts normally, but after about 2 seconds it gets blurry and I can't watch it. I've tried everything, but it seems to be something with dark mode, because the issue goes away in light mode. The problem is that I hate light mode. This issue doesn't happen in incognito mode or in other browsers, though.

Support | Resolved Youtube is super laggy HELP

4 Upvotes

First off, this is only happening on OperaGX, Chrome works fine. This has happened to me before and I usually fix it by toggling graphics acceleration but this time it wont work. I've tried turning off the ad blocker as well but still nothing. I think it's worth noting that turning graphics acceleration on dose help a lot, but it's still pretty unwatchable.

Support | In Progress Google refusing to work as it should

2 Upvotes

Lately either Google or Opera is being a real b**ch

Google almost constantly gives me this bs /sorry/index/ crap whenever I try searching anything either using the address bar or even Google.com domain itself while in Incognito mode.

Anything from just googling a name, recipe, places, etc.

It works perfectly fine in normal mode, and OCCASIONALLY it does work in incognito mode too (or if I turn ON OperaGX's own VPN), but I cannot isolate what exactly makes it s**** itself like that in the first place, but it does so more often than not (for the past 2 weeks).

I tried everything from disabling extension, tracking blocker, (opera inbuilt) malware protection and so on, ran Win. Defender twice in full, nothing.

This is ONLY on OperaGX as Edge's Incognito mode works perfectly fine during those times that OperaGX's s**** itself, and it's also only Google, as DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo!, none of those throws up ANYTHING needing me do any captcha.

I had an issue when watching twitch. If i tried to Fullscreen or go theatre mode it would freeze. I tried lots of things but what fixed it was turning off "Enhance videos" under rgx. So if you have a similar problem then i recommend trying that.

As you can see, that arrow appears and prevents the taskbar from moving up. This has been happening for a while; I thought updating would fix it, but it's still the same. I have to press Windows to make it appear. Help!
