Guide 2026-06-22 / 4 min FACEIT Extensions in Opera & Opera GX: Which Work & How to Install (2026)
Do FACEIT extensions work in Opera and Opera GX? Yes. Which ones work, how to install them from Opera Add-ons and the Chrome Web Store, and the one extra step Opera needs.
Opera and its gaming sibling Opera GX are both built on Chromium, so the FACEIT extension layer works in them just like in Chrome — with one Opera-specific step for Chrome Web Store extensions. Here is the whole picture.
Do FACEIT extensions work in Opera and Opera GX?
Yes. Both Opera and Opera GX share Chromium with Chrome, so Repeek, Mappio, Faceit EGO, Forecast and GRIND all run in them. Opera GX is the same browser with a gaming UI — extension support is identical.
Where to install them from
Opera installs extensions from two places:
- Opera Add-ons (addons.opera.com) — Opera's native catalog; one click installs.
- Chrome Web Store — works too, but Opera needs the free "Install Chrome Extensions" add-on from Opera Add-ons first. After that, Chrome Web Store pages show an "Add to Opera" button.
How to install a FACEIT extension in Opera
- Add the Chrome Web Store helper (one time)For Chrome Web Store extensions, install the free "Install Chrome Extensions" add-on from Opera Add-ons. Skip this if the extension is already on Opera Add-ons.
- Open the extension pageGo to the extension's Opera Add-ons or Chrome Web Store page.
- Click "Add to Opera"Confirm the install. FACEIT UI extensions only need access to faceit.com pages.
- Pin it and open a match roomPin the extension from the toolbar, then open a FACEIT match room to see it work.
Which FACEIT extensions are worth installing
For most players, Repeek + GRIND complement each other perfectly — and both are free:
- Repeek — auto ready-up, ELO gain/loss, recent-match stats.
- GRIND — win probability by map after veto, a 0–100 smurf/booster score per opponent, and a face-to-face compare.
Repeek covers what just happened (activity and automation), GRIND covers the read ahead (win probability and suspicious accounts). Want the full field, including Mappio, Faceit EGO and more? See our comparison of the best FACEIT extensions.
Opera GX — anything different?
No. Opera GX is Opera's gaming-focused build (CPU/RAM limiter, sidebar, themes), but extensions install and run exactly the same way — same Chromium, same Opera Add-ons + Chrome Web Store flow. Nothing FACEIT-specific changes.
Extension not installing in Opera?
The usual cause is trying to install a Chrome Web Store extension without the "Install Chrome Extensions" helper. Add it first, or install from Opera Add-ons directly. Re-enable any disabled add-ons under Opera Settings → Extensions.
FAQ
Do FACEIT extensions work in Opera GX?
Yes. Opera GX is Chromium-based like Opera and Chrome, so FACEIT extensions such as Repeek and GRIND run in it with the same install flow as regular Opera.
How do I install a Chrome Web Store extension in Opera?
Add the free "Install Chrome Extensions" add-on from Opera Add-ons once, then open the Chrome Web Store page and click "Add to Opera".
Is it safe to install FACEIT extensions in Opera?
Yes, if you install from Opera Add-ons or the Chrome Web Store. Good FACEIT extensions are UI enhancers that only read public FACEIT data and never touch the game client.
What is the difference between Opera and Yandex Browser for extensions?
Both are Chromium. Yandex Browser installs from the Chrome Web Store directly and uses Opera Add-ons as its native catalog; Opera installs from Opera Add-ons natively but needs the "Install Chrome Extensions" helper for the Chrome Web Store.

Why won't a FACEIT extension install in Opera?
Usually because a Chrome Web Store extension needs the "Install Chrome Extensions" helper in Opera. Add it, or install the extension from Opera Add-ons instead.
