Imagine quietly playing games on your PC in your room or office. Or whatever you want to call it. But maybe you shouldn’t. Maybe you should be studying or working on that Excel spreadsheet. Suddenly your father, mother or boss walks in and catches you doing something you shouldn’t be doing. Or maybe not. Not if you press F12 in time.

This is exactly what the Opera GX browser offers, aimed specifically at gamers. now includes the F12 key, called the “panic button”This allows you to instantly mute sound, stop playback in all tabs, and display a browser window with safe and soft content. Your secret is safe.

According to a recent study by Opera of 2,200 respondents, 36% of those surveyed admitted to accessing inappropriate content at school, university or work.

The main types of inappropriate content in these cases are social networks (61%), Explicit material for adults (58%), games (51%), online stores (51%) or dating sites (36%). Almost a third of those who did this admitted to being caught, and those caught faced a warning (63%), but 22% were expelled or fired.

This feature also allows us to recover the previous state of the browser and continue playing (or anything) by pressing the F12 key once again, thus avoiding being caught red-handed.
