Opera GX becomes the world’s first browser with dynamic background music
Opera GX, the world’s first browser designed for people who love PC gaming, is releasing a major new feature still unknown to other browsers: adaptive background music. The new functionality aims to bring an immersive sound experience known from gaming to web browsing.
Opera GX initially launched in 2019 with sound effects designed by the acclaimed composer Ruben Rincón and the Berlinist band, known for the Bafta-nominated soundtrack to Gris. The same team is responsible for the new dynamic background music in Opera GX.
“We are excited to finally reveal the entire concept we’ve had in mind: We wanted to give our browser the immersive sound experience known from games, where a perfectly-composed soundtrack lets you focus more, forget about any worries and boosts your overall experience by adapting to the task at hand. I believe we have succeeded,” said Maciej Kocemba, product Director of Opera GX.
The dynamic background music in Opera GX is an ambient downtempo that boosts the users’ focus. It intensifies whenever users are actively browsing the web, clicking on links or typing, and becomes less dramatic and calmer whenever they become less active. It is aimed to disappear into the background but to also be missed once it’s gone.
The background music as well as all browser sound effects can be individually toggled on and off in the browser’s setting in the Browser sounds section.
GX Composer Award at Game Music Festival 2020
“We see the initial background music as just a start and would like to provide more options to our users in the future. Just as there are fans of different game genres, people love different types of background music. That’s why we want to give more game score composers the opportunity to present their music to millions of Opera GX users around the globe,” added Maciej Kocemba.
To make this vision a reality, Opera GX has partnered with the international Game Music Festival and sponsored its annual GMF 2020 High Score Competition, where music score composers can compete for cash prizes and to have their music featured in Opera GX by winning the GX Composer 2020 title. The competition opens on Sept. 16 2020.
Twitter now built into the Opera GX sidebar
With native integration of Twitch, Discord, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram in the sidebar, Opera GX makes it easy to stay on top of conversations with friends, as well as with developing online trends and streams. This set of integrated messengers has now been extended with built-in Twitter in the sidebar, a feature Opera GX adopted from the main Opera browser.
Opera GX
Opera GX launched in June 2019 during the E3 Gaming Expo in Los Angeles. The browser distinguishes itself with unique features tailored to the tastes and needs of gamers. Along with numerous color customization options, Razer Chroma support and a gaming-inspired design, it includes CPU, RAM and Network Bandwidth limiters that make the browser less resource-hungry and leave more of the computer’s resources for gaming. The browser also includes a Hot Tabs Killer feature, which lets users “kill” the most resource draining tabs.
Opera GX has grown 183% year-to-date and now reaches over 4 million monthly active gamers. The browser has won two leading design awards: the Red Dot Design Award 2019 as well as the IF Design Award 2020.

Mindway AI Announces Partnership with 2mee
Global behavioural intelligence leader Mindway AI has teamed up with 2mee, the pioneer in Human Messaging, to transform digital risk management. This strategic partnership combines advanced risk detection with personalised messaging to set a new standard for user safety and engagement in the digital landscape.
2mee is renowned for its innovative approach that integrates real, verified human messages directly into digital experiences. By delivering pre-recorded human guidance at crucial moments of friction or uncertainty, 2mee assures operational transparency while drastically improving user trust and comprehension. The platform’s unique integration allows these messages to be seamlessly embedded into user journeys, thus maintaining the flow and integrity of the digital experience while enhancing end-user interaction.
The partnership between Mindway AI and 2mee aligns the strengths of both companies by bridging the gap between behavioural risk detection and immediate, human-centric intervention. This collaboration aims to provide operators with a powerful toolset, leading to measurable interventions and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
“Partnering with 2mee allows us to leverage our advanced behavioural detection capabilities in groundbreaking ways. By integrating our technology with 2mee’s pre-recorded human messages, we are creating a holistic approach to risk management that supports both operators and their customers, while meeting rigorous regulatory requirements. This partnership represents an exciting evolution in how we foster safer digital environments,” said Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO of Mindway AI.
“Working with Mindway AI allows us to close a critical gap that’s existed for years. Risk algorithms have been excellent at identifying problem gambling behaviour, but tools and research around follow-on preventative action have been significantly lacking. Together, we’re connecting behavioural intelligence with real human intervention inside the journey itself. It’s a unique and genuinely exciting step forward for how regulated operators support their customers responsibly,” Jez White, Managing Director at 2mee, said.

Amusnet Releases Cashybara Boxing Edition Game
Amusnet expands its innovative portfolio with the launch of Cashybara Boxing Edition, an adrenaline-charged crash game that merges combat sports intensity with fast-paced betting. Featuring a unique boxing theme and the fan-favourite Cashybara character, the game challenges players to master their timing in a high-pressure environment where the potential rewards grow with every punch thrown.
From the opening bell, the action never slows down. As Cashybara dodges jabs and fires back with powerful combinations, the multiplier climbs higher and higher, building tension with every passing second. The question is always the same: play it smart and secure your progress, or stay in the fight longer and push for a knockout finish as the multiplier soars.
Adding a tactical edge to the gameplay, the 50% Cash Out feature lets players lock in half of their gains mid-round while keeping the rest in play. It’s a strategic balance between caution and courage.
Combined with dynamic visuals, punchy animations and the roar of the crowd, every round feels like a live fight night where anything can happen. Fast, bold and full of personality, Cashybara Boxing Edition delivers a thrilling crash experience where reflexes and nerve define the outcome.
