The new era of deep browser customization has officially begun with the launch of Mods in Opera GX. With GX Mods, you can pimp your browser and make your online experience as unique as your gaming setup, personalizing the entire browser – from the keyboard sounds to how webpages look.

“Browsers get a bad rap on account of how boring some browsers are. But like no two users are the same, Opera GX is built to be different. With Mods, we wanted to give our users a means to express themselves instead of forcing them to stick to a set of default options,” said Maciej Kocemba, product director at Opera and mastermind of Opera GX. “GX Mods offer users a limitless number of customization options. It’s time to ditch boring browsers and start browsing like a badass.”

To usher in this new era, Opera GX has partnered with none other than Xzibit, rapper and host of the world famous car modification TV show Pimp My Ride who is moving from customizing cars to customizing web browsers.

“The customization game has up and changed. It’s time to pimp your browser,” said Xzibit. To do that with Opera GX, no crew of car mechanics is needed. Users can instead turn to GX Mods.

Every Mod comes with a mix of elements – including unique looks (animated wallpapers and themes), sounds (keyboard and UI) and shaders (GPU-driven effects that render in real-time while browsing the web). You can even customize how webpages look when browsing. How these Mods all work together is completely up to you, giving you total freedom to create something completely unique. But should you want some examples to start with, you can turn to the new GX Mod Store.

Launching today is also the GX Mod Store which features  dozens of pre-made Mods each inspired by either a game or gaming culture, taking cues from specific interests and moods, and creating totally unique looks, sounds and shaders. Available Mods include Cyberdeck, Anime, LoFi Chill, Blockified, Drive-by and Legendary Rift, as well as GXzibit – a Mod created exclusively by the man himself – Xzibit, who would naturally like you to use his Mod: the GXzibit, inspired by 2000s hip hop music.

Mods can be accessed from the sidebar in Opera GX, and installed from the new GX Mods Store. Here, users will be able to browse through all available Mods, whether they’ve been created by Opera GX or the community. All Mods are free, and highly modular; meaning you can mix and match elements from different Mods to create new versions, or even build your own and upload them to the store for other users to download.

Opera GX is the only browser designed for gamers, as it offers a myriad of customization options, including color themes, sound effects, background music, as well as CPU, RAM, and Network Bandwidth limiters designed to leave more of the computer’s resources for gaming. Opera GX Mobile is its mobile version available on both Android and iOS.

888 Holdings plc (LSE: 888), one of the world’s leading betting and gaming companies with internationally renowned brands including 888, William Hill, Mr Green and SI Sportsbook, is pleased to announce the launch of Mr Green, its award-winning online gaming brand, in Germany.

Germany is one of 888’s strategic growth markets and the group sees an opportunity to grow rapidly and build a strong market position with its customer-focused, best-in-class products and brands. In early-2023 the group was delighted to be granted its official gaming license in Germany and has moved quickly to launch its products on a locally regulated basis.

The launch of Mr Green in Germany represents the first time that the Mr Green brand is available on the 888 proprietary technology platform. The launch delivers product and content leadership through the group’s in-house technology combined with the strong existing brand awareness of Mr Green in Germany to create a unique, differentiated and feature-rich product for players in the market.

“Mr Green will be the group’s spearhead brand in the German market alongside our 888 brands,” the 888 and William Hill Vice-President Head of Poker and Rest of World Managing Director, Amit Berkovich, said. “Its launch is a great example of what focus, collaboration and dedication can deliver. We’ve been live since late March, thanks to the existing 888 platform in Germany and the powerful collaboration of all teams across the business who have enabled a totally new set-up in record time.

“We are excited to introduce thousands more players in the market to our enhanced offer and look forward to bringing other Mr Green markets onto our single technology platform in the coming months.”

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has further increased its Baltic presence, thanks to a new partnership with 7bet.

As part of the agreement, the tier-one Lithuanian operator will integrate 50 of the provider’s games to its offerings with more titles coming soon. The regulated market will now benefit from innovative games such as the Fruit Super Nova series as well as the captivating Eleven Princess.

The news of this latest signing comes off the back of a recently announced Uniclub announcement as Evoplay scales up its operations in the area since going live in the region two years ago.

Commenting on the partnership, Vladimir Malakchi, CCO at Evoplay, said: “In keeping with our growth trajectory we are always on the lookout for Baltic operators to help us realise our goals and deliver our pristine slot portfolio to an even bigger audience.

“We are confident our latest partnership will be successful for both as we count another tier-one partner in our growing operator list.”

Gintarė Karvelytė, Product Manager at 7bet said: “Understanding our players needs for forward-thinking games with innovative features, it greatly impacts our decisions when looking for new suppliers. With that in mind, we are delighted to now count Evoplay and its world-class slots to our collection.

“We have no doubt these games will prove as popular with our players as they have with other operators both at home and abroad.”
