Gaming browser app Opera GX has teamed up with Amazon Prime Video's hit show "The Boys" for an epic campaign sure to please gamers and fans of the franchise.

Dubbed the "BROWSER from Vought," the company's latest offering comes with different specially themed customizations to the usual browser. These include:

  • A white and black theme in line with the prestige of Vought International
  • A new GX Corner that gives users access to Vought's hub database, including suit scans of the Seven, the latest news in The Boys universe, and more

Like a standard Opera GX browser, it will have a built-in VPN, RAM CPU and network limiters, Twitch and Discord integration, and the Flow feature that allows users to send content from one device to another. 

The special-edition browser will be free for U.S. users to download and will come along with a free $5 GrubHub voucher with a minimum purchase of $25.

Bridging fiction with real-life people, popular YouTubers that Opera GX has dubbed "Homelanders," have given their thoughts on the new browser.

"I'm just saying if you improve your KD and become a world champion while using Opera GX, it's probably not a coincidence," says American YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL.

A Message from Vought International

Vought International, the fictional corporation from The Boys universe, posted a video starring its CEO Ashley Barrett (played by Colby Minifie) breaking the exciting launch to viewers.

"Today, we stand on the verge of a new frontier alongside our dear friends at Opera GX," Barrett shares.

Here, users get a glimpse of how the Browser from Vought operates, with an "A-Train" themed loading bar and fictional news articles on The Boys characters such as Starlight and The Deep.

Touting its cookie and ad blocking, as well as its private browsing abilities, the CEO notes that the browser is like "having The Seven protecting you online," keeping your data safe in your hands — and in Vought's hands. And Homelander's.

"Super speed. Super secure. That's the browser promise," Barret says, as she closes the spot. 

This is not Amazon Prime's The Boys' first foray into hyper-realistic marketing. As a satirical show inspired by real-life people and events, it uses its characters to star in real-life brands, however they see fit. 

Two weeks ago, beverage brand Liquid Death cast The Deep to be its "Health and Wellness Ambassador" to tout its alternative to traditional sodas.
