What is Panic Button in Opera GX?
Panic Button is a built-in privacy tool in Opera GX that lets you instantly switch your screen to a safe, non-suspicious website with a single key press. Whether you're gaming, watching videos, or deep in a meme spiral, Panic Button ensures nosy roommates, parents, or unexpected visitors never catch you off guard.
How do I activate Panic Button?
To activate Panic Button, simply press F12, and your screen will immediately switch to a pre-set safe site. You can customize this escape page in the GX browser’s Settings (Alt+P), choosing anything from Wikipedia to an innocent work-related tab. To return to your original session, press F12 again when the coast is clear.
