Chromecast is a line of digital media players developed by Google.The devices, designed as small dongles, can play Internet-streamed audio-visual content on a high-definition television or home audio system. The user controls playback with a mobile device. Like the standard version of Opera, Opera GX is based on Chromium, the open-source project that forms the basis for the Google Chrome web browser and the upcoming Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser. Websites should look the same as in Chrome, and you can install Chrome extensions in this browser, too. Opera won this one. Opera — 5488; Chrome — 5287; Firefox — 4175; Edge — 2786; Verdict. Google Chrome won 3 of the 6 tests, Opera won 2, and Edge won 1. Performance seems to be leaning towards Chrome, with Opera in a close second. Eventually, you should consider more than just the performance of a browser. This tutorial shows how to install Opera GX, a gaming browser, on a chromebook. Note: You must have Linux and Wine installed for the tutorial to work properl. TVs with built-in Chromecast or other smart functionality may be supported, but compatibility cannot be guaranteed with all models. You may experience issues when casting and recording simultaneously. Exiting or minimizing the Oculus app may interrupt casting. Casting may increase battery usage or degrade in-app performance.
Would you like to stream your favorite online videos on a big screen? Now you can do it from Opera on your computer with the Chromecast support we’ve just added. Read on to find out how.
How to wire up your Opera browser with Chromecast

- Go to the Chrome Web Store and get the Google Cast extension – it’s the official Google extension for sending content to Chromecast.
- Is your Chromecast device already plugged into the HDMI port on your display? Make sure both Chromecast and your computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

What kind of videos can I stream from Opera?
As I mentioned above, Opera supports streaming from Google Cast-enabled sites. At this point, it’s YouTube and Netflix.
Why Chromecast?
Chromecast was first released in 2013 and quickly garnered good reviews and won over many users across the globe. According to a market report by Strategy Analytics, Chromecast was the most popular streaming device sold in 2015. It’s praised for being compact, affordable and convenient to manage with the device you’re streaming from.
On a side note, it’s expected that Google will release a new version of Chromecast supporting 4K video as soon as the beginning of October. I’m looking forward to checking that one out.
