I do like having extra buttons(also useful for regular things, especially with macros) and having higher dpi. That's about it though. I still use the plain old 90s mechanical keyboards and plain jane office chairs because of comfort, durability, and cost. The only problem with my keyboard is the ever coming end of the mini-din connectors on the computers and parts themselves.

    This video can seemingly be summarized by the age old adages "don't believe salesmen" and "If you're connected to the internet, you're vulnerable". The gamer branding is just a marketing approach that imo is pretty clever, because outside of huge nerds, you need something to distinguish your browser from Chrome and Edge even though they're all essentially the same browser.

      ​@@FourtyFifthWhile you can't ever be sure about the intentions and security of a product or company (hence the term "the most secure computer is one that doesn't even turn on"), we can make approximations about the credibility of their claims. In the video, muta mentioned 2 very well respected pages that show privacy wise what browsers have the best anti ad/tracking functionality and minimal telemetry; Privacytests and SizeofCat's post on web browser telemetry. Librewolf, Mullvad and Tor Project performed best due to their exceptional capabilities that help minimize fingerprinting and revealing unique identifiers that can make your device more apparent. These aren't empty claims, you CAN verify this by checking the active connections said browser does through your ports or in a firewall. Why do you think Tor Project is always used by journalists, foreigners, people of interest or individuals being targeted by the government? It HAS this reputation for a reason, and these privacy respecting browsers have been audited and independently checked.
      Of course, with how fast technology has progressed people don't even know how thorough spyware, telemetry and other metadata collector methods are. If you simply use Windows you're f***ed. If you use google's search engine you're f***ed. If you use Android, bought out by google you're f***ed. Personally, I want to minimize this collection as much as possible, not because "I have something to hide", but because I care about not having my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data being sold out to malicious brokers that seem to think people want to buy their products.
      So, while it seems that everything is spying on us (and yes, they certainly are), this is willful ignorance. There are so many open source, regularly audited, decentralized alternatives to common apps and programs that you can use yet people are too ignorant to do the switch or just assume "its pointless". It's impossible to completely lock down your computer, and it's also impossible to be completely spied on. Personally, I'm choosing the latter.

This indicates a move away from Chinese ownership, but the full implications for development and data privacy remain to be seen.

Don’t worry too much though your a small number in a massive system, idc if google shows me ads about certain things I said in my browser, I look at it as helping me out.

    The one thing that I think Muta got wrong is about the GX Corner.
    While yes, you cannot remove the tab, the tab is not actually "active" so it doesnt actually take from the system resources as far as I know.
    When I start Opera GX, it immediately opens a tab with the Speed Dial. It doesnt open the GX Corner. The GX Corner doesnt start working and it doesnt become a real tab UNTIL you click on it. After that it stays active, however you can just turn off the browser and reopen it so it deactivates.

    So basically:
    1) There's not much performance difference across browsers.
    2) Opera has some extra features that some may or may not find useful.
    3) 26:24 here's a 2 minute scroll of a privacy test on some browesers.
    4) Opera doesn't sell your data to anyone because that's illegal.
    I honestly think this video didn't need to be almost 40 minutes long. Most of it was spent on saying you don't care about the extra features it has and the fact that the performance is similar to other browsers. I clicked for the privacy concerns you hinted at by the title that you only ever adressed 25 minutes in. And even the browser you use, brave (if I understood correctly) isn't even that good at it if you compare it with that Tor one.
    Essentially if you like how opera gx looks and how customisable it is, try it out and even if you don't think you'll find much use of certain features, that's no reason to dislike the browser. If you don't like the aesthetic that's fine, there's many browsers to choose from.
    As a European company Opera probably won't be selling your info to any Chinese, American, European or whatever governments and companies.
    If privacy is the only thing you care about to the point that browser customizability doesn't concern, just get Tor since apparently no other browser does that as well.

    The purpose of Opera GX is for casuals with low-to-mid spec systems to get better performance for their games, at the expense of their browsing performance, when any other browser would only give them the option to kill the process entirely. My girlfriend plays games like Minecraft, Sims, and etc on her laptop, and to minimize the lag on her games, she had to close her browser entirely. With Opera GX, she just caps the browser to the lowest settings, and given she's not using it anyway until she alt-tabs to it, the loss of browser performance does not impact her during gaming sessions.
    Opera GX is not a bad browser and it does offer things competitors do not offer. Their main sin is try-hardy marketing. Most "hardcore gamers" are going to have the specs to run their games plus whatever else they feel like in the background. But most gamers, in general, are not "hardcore," so Opera GX is aimed at making their experience better. Plus giving them that sense of being "real gamers" due to the company's branding.

    I think that Muta made a mistake by not considering low-resource systems in his tests, because GX Control functionality is *really* helpful on those
    Disclaimer: this is a very generalised response without talking about specifics of different systems/browsers and their specific architectures, so not all of it may be true for EVERY system+browser combo, obviously.
    Problem is that most OS schedulers in general consider your browser as a singular entity when deciding to give/limit system resources to it + they usually consider browsers to be high-priority processes, so they place them really low on out-of-memory killer priority list, for example. Which means that in the end essentially OS schedulers almost always diverge most of the resources to your browser unless you're running something even more resource-intense and prioritised in parallel (like a video game, obviously). So in the end you can't really rely on OS schedulers to limit your browser from being a resource hog, because in a lot of cases they will allow it to be.
    And if you're trying to have another process running, which is less resource-intense than browser, but more important to you - like your work stuff, so for example editors for text (documents/code), images (2D/3D), audio/video, etc - then your OS will feed your resources to your browser instead of your editor, which will suck cause usually you need to mostly do stuff in the editor while only sometimes looking in the browser for research/instructions/etc, so you would prefer your editor to not stutter instead of browser.
    However, there is a way to actually control it, and that's by controlling browser tabs. But since OS schedulers usually don't delve inside the main process (browser itself), they are unable to kill specific tabs that are hogging resources. But the browser itself can do that.
    Now lately in recent versions a lot of browsers, even including the bloated giants like Chrome, started implementing automatic tab killers inside their browsers. They basically detect if system resources are low and decide which unfocused tabs are low-priority so they can kill threads of those tabs to free up some resources. The tab remains in your tab list, but it's essentially closed and will be "reopened" when you click on it. This is an insanely useful feature when you need to keep a lot of tabs opened (for research, for example), but have a low-resource system.
    The problem is though that browser generally try to consider every tab a "high-priority" (which makes sense from "caring about user data" standpoint, they never know, what important stuff can be inputted in the tab and not saved yet) and automated killers only start when absolutely necessary (like when you whole system RAM usage is at 99%, for example). So in the end auto tab killers also don't really limit your browser from being a hog, they mostly just there to save your browser/system from a crash when/if it starts to choke at 99% of capacity.
    So in the end the ONLY feature that I've seen in modern browsers that can actually force your system to give more resources to "less important than browser" (from OS's POV) things is this GX Control. With it I can avoid the situation "90% of resources is consumed by browser to keep all it's tabs opened, which I don't need, while my work stutters at 10% of resources" and instead can have a situation "hard limited 50% of resources is consumed by browser, forcing it to kill a bunch of tabs, which is fine, and my work lives comfortably with another 50% available, consuming more when needed more (when compiling or rendering, for example)".
    Ironically all this means that this "gaming" browser is much more useful on a low-resource system (when gamers usually have high-resource ones, as evident by Steam statistics Muta used) used for working instead of gaming (because video games are more resource-intense processes and OS will prioritise giving them resource over browsers, but also will prioritise giving resources to browser over a lot of work software).
    So the "browser for gamers" is perfect for a grandma's cheap laptop that has like 2GB RAM, a 100 opened browser tabs because she forgets to close them and a Microsoft Word document opened that she needs to edit, because then this GX Control hard RAM limit will actually allow Word to not stutter and work smoothly, while all OS schedulers and auto tab killers won't help.
    The irony of this mismatch between marketing and actual useful cases is pretty funny, I'll admit.
    Oh, and ofc, I completely agree with all the other points Muta made, like that Chromium-based browsers are all kinda bloated, like that Opera doesn't show it's source code too openly, like that in the privacy department it's lacking, etc. That's why I personally don't use it on my systems (anymore, besides the time when I had to work from a really old and weak laptop for some time).
    I just feel like he really didn't consider how useful this GX Control feature is for low-end systems since his main system (obviously) and even his virtual machine that he pulled from Steam stats are pretty high-end. And how actually unique it is, since I don't think any other browser has it, and OS schedulers/auto tab killers, as I explained earlier, are not a full substitute for it. So, IMHO, GX Control is really the killer feature of this browser... but not for gamers.
    *TL DR: The "browser for gamers" is more suited for gamer's parents or even grandparents, lol.*

As for the "Chromium handles it better" argument, I don't doubt it's the case overall, but I have found that Firefox is overall more stable as you can turn off the Windows "Eco Mode" (which itself states causes instability) setting that Chromium doesn't let you do without launch arguments. All that being said, I am not going to even entertain the idea of not having an adblock like uBlock Origin, and the only way to guarantee such is to not be at all linked to the Chromium browser engine.
