Web browser Opera GX has unveiled a new feature, 'Streaming Profile,' designed to protect creators' privacy and support a stable broadcasting environment.

This feature was developed based on feedback from streamers to address privacy exposure issues that can occur during live broadcasts. First, it allows users to hide recommended sites based on browsing history. It is also possible to set the start page so that recent shopping history does not appear. Additionally, browser history and recent search terms can be hidden from the address bar and search field, and widgets and recommended speed dials can be removed from the start page to keep the broadcast screen clean.

Control features to create a distraction-free streaming environment have also been enhanced. Streamers can mute all tabs or turn off browser audio entirely. Furthermore, the built-in ad blocker can prevent unnecessary pop-ups. Social media and messenger apps located in the sidebar are automatically hidden to protect private conversations, and if necessary, hardware acceleration can be disabled to improve compatibility with screen capture tools and video content.

Streaming Profile can be created by clicking the Opera GX logo in the top-left corner of the browser and selecting 'Profiles' in the settings menu. A dedicated desktop shortcut is automatically created upon setup, allowing streamers to start broadcasting in their own tailored environment immediately without additional switching.

To celebrate the launch, a special discount in collaboration with Streamlabs is also provided. Streamlabs is a globally widely used provider of streaming and recording software. Through this collaboration, GX users can receive a discount of $12 (approx. 17,200 KRW) per month or $39 (approx. 56,000 KRW) per year on a Streamlabs Ultra subscription.

Opera GX is available for free download via its official website.
