This is an update for the gaming-focused spin-off of its Chromium-based browser.
Fact checked, proudly created or enhanced with AI.
Opera has rolled out Opera GX 134 (134.0.5954.44), the gaming-focused spin-off of its Chromium-based browser, and this release finally graduates two long-testing features to everyone: vertical tabs and an upgraded Google Lens.
What's New
- Vertical tabs for all users Previously an opt-in "Early Bird" feature, tabs can now be stacked along the side of the browser window instead of across the top, which is a big help for anyone who keeps dozens of tabs open while gaming or streaming.
- Upgraded Google Lens integration Image search is now built into the start page, letting you search by URL, uploaded file, or a pasted image directly, using Google's refreshed Lens icon.
- Chromium 150 engine The update moves Opera GX onto Chromium 150.0.7871.212, bringing the usual batch of underlying stability, compatibility, and security fixes.
- MV2 extension fix A bug that was blocking Manifest V2 extensions on every browser startup has been resolved.
- Continued access to Opera GX's signature gaming tools: the GX Control Panel for CPU/RAM/network limiting, GX Corner for gaming news and deals, GX Cleaner, built-in ad blocker, free VPN, and sidebar shortcuts to Discord and Twitch.
Why It Matters
Opera GX is built specifically to run alongside demanding games and streaming software without hogging system resources, and this release keeps that promise while modernizing the tab experience, something rival browsers moved to years ago. The Lens upgrade also makes it easier to search visually without leaving the new-tab page.
