What is Panic Button in Opera GX?

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.

What does F12 do in Opera GX?

In Opera GX, pressing F12 triggers Panic Button, instantly covering your screen with a safe, non-suspicious webpage.
