When we compare the resource usage of both browsers side by side on a table, we have different numbers than on Windows task manager, but the conclusion is the same: Use of Memory (in KB) by Component Opera GX Google Chrome Comparison Browser 89,184 226,884 -137,700 GPU process 212,300 269,684 -57,384 Utility: Network Service 11,432 78,448 -67,016 Utility: Storage Service 6,608 8,724 -2,116 Utility: Audio Service 7,726 7,536 +190 Renderer: 34,916 0 +34,916 Spare Renderer: 13,512 13,024 +488 Tabs 220,132 141,496 +78,636 Native Extensions 96,436 0 +96,436 Total 692,246 745,796 -7.18%ĭespite coming with some pre-installed extensions that Chrome doesn`t, Opera GX also wins in the browser task manager comparison, but this time with a minor advantage over Google Chrome, only 7.18%. I opened each browser’s task manager to take an in-depth look at the memory usage in both browsers. (To understand what the numbers inside the parentheses mean by checking your browser’s task manager, read the article I’ve written on it.) This is the result that I got in Windows Task Manager:Īs you can see, even though Opera GX has more processes running (12 against 9 from Chrome), it uses 19.2% less memory than Google Chrome. Many comments and reviews around the Internet claim Opera GX is the faster option, as it is said to use fewer resources than Google Chrome.īut instead of taking others’ words for granted, I opened two websites, Youtube and this website, on both Opera GX and Chrome and I made sure that no extensions were installed on them (except the Opera GX native ones.) Performance comparison (Winner: Opera GX) Read it, and you will understand why I think Opera GX is the superior browser. I don’t expect you to believe in just my words, so below, I wrote a comparison between Opera GX and Chrome on four different aspects: performance, features, browser extensions, and customization. I believe Opera GX is the better option for gamers and a superior browser for most users as well (If you are not a gamer, then the Opera browser is the best choice.) Opera GX does nearly everything that Chrome does but adds key features such as limiting the RAM and CPU used by the browser, which makes Opera GX better than Chrome right now.
Opera GX uses less memory and system resources than Chrome, although the difference is small since both are Chromium browsers. Opera GX was developed in June 2019 to be the first browser ever aimed at a gamer audience by ensuring a lower usage of system resources compared to other browsers and offering a few gaming-related features.īut how does it stack against Google Chrome?
