Boost productivity, multitasking with Opera.

Efficient multitasking can reclaim precious time

Whether you’re juggling research, report writing, video calls, or communication apps, your browser should help—not hinder. Opera GX isn’t just visually striking; it’s purpose‑built to streamline workflows with productivity‑enhancing features. From advanced tab management to built‑in messaging tools, this browser is engineered to optimize your day.

Advanced tab management to stay in control

Split‑screen mode: multitask with ease

Ever gathered research documents in one window and crafted a summary in another? Opera GX’s split‑screen lets you view two web pages simultaneously—perfect for reference‑heavy tasks like academic paper drafting or team deliverables.

Example:
You’re comparing source code on Stack Overflow in one pane and writing documentation in the other—without ever leaving the browser.

Tab islands: organized by topic

Working on multiple projects at once? Tab islands automatically detect related tabs and group them into collapsible clusters. Create “marketing campaign” or “client A” islands—then collapse them when you need to focus elsewhere.

Tab traces: never lose your place

Jumping between tabs and projects often leads to lost focus. Tab traces shows your five most recently active tabs with a single click, so you can instantly return to where you left off—no more frantic searches or lost context.

Sidebar integrations: bring your tools into one space

Context switching breaks flow. Having Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, or other apps tucked into the sidebar means fewer distractions and more continuity.

All‑in‑one vertical sidebar

Opera GX integrates major messaging and social platforms directly in the sidebar:

1. Slack: check client messages or team updates

2. Discord: stay connected with community or developer chats

3. WhatsApp/Web: communicate with colleagues and family

4. Bluesky/X (Twitter): monitor trends, updates, or social mentions

Use cases include:

• Keeping research colleagues up to date while drafting

• Chatting privately with stakeholders while working

• Monitoring brand mentions without opening new windows

Why the sidebar matters

1. Free up tabs

2. Keep apps accessible but unobtrusive

3. Centralize workflow

Lightweight, focused productivity tools

Opera GX delivers tools that help keep you focused and efficient.

Built‑in ad & tracker blocker

Ads, pop‑ups, and trackers slow you down. The built‑in ad blocker helps:

1. Improve page load times

2. Reduce visual clutter

3. Boost privacy—especially when researching sensitive topics

GX Control: resource management

Running Zoom, OBS, Slack, and a dozen browser tabs? CPU and RAM usage can spiral out of control—and kill your productivity.

GX Control empowers you to:

1. Set CPU/RAM/network bandwidth limits for the browser

2. Monitor resource usage in real time

3. Automatically throttle Opera GX to ensure video calls and other critical apps run smoothly

Sample productivity scenarios

1) Deep research + writing mode

• Use split‑screen—left for sources, right for writing

• Use tab islands to cluster by topic (e.g., “Gen AI,” “UX research,” “2025 stats”)

• Block ads for distraction‑free browsing

• Use tab traces to jump back after reviewing manager feedback

2) Remote collaboration flow

3) Hands‑on coding sprint

1. View documentation (Stack Overflow, MDN) on one side

2. Keep your IDE or live preview on the other

3. Tab islands separate bug tickets, docs, and references

4. Tab traces help when context‑switching mid‑debug

5. Limited browser resource usage prevents IDE lag

4) Balanced work + social check‑in

1. Keep WhatsApp, Discord, and Bluesky/X one click away

2. Reply quickly without switching apps or interrupting focus

3. Manage distractions: ad blocker tames autoplay ads

4. Set GX Control limits so background chatter doesn’t eat bandwidth

Starting tips & best practices

• Customize your GX Control profiles. Create “Writing Mode” (low CPU/RAM) and “Research Mode” (higher limits).

• Set up tab islands manually. Name islands like “Finance 2025” or “Design files.”

• Integrate your key chat apps. Add Slack, Discord, WhatsApp so everything’s one click away.

• Explore keyboard shortcuts. Learn hotkeys for split‑screen, tab cycling, and island collapse/expand.

• Use ad/tracker‑blocking wisely. Whitelist trusted sites (e.g., academic journals) when needed.
