Trivia

 * Aura's full name is Aura "GX Chan" Operanovicz.
 * Aura's debut stream appeared to reach a milestone for most Twitch viewers for a debut VTuber stream, with over 70,000 concurrent viewers. The actual numbers were inflated due to the stream being embedded on the browser's front page. This lead to negative reactions to Opera astroturfing the review views and gaining unfavorable comparisons to Fextralife, who inflated views to their streams through embedded ads on their wiki pages.
 * Opera GX's auditions for GX Aura caused controversy prior to debut for having a specific age requirement of "someone between 20-30 years of age". The official Opera GX Twitter account jokingly suggested aged out applicants "try applying to a retirement home", which added to the controversy. This requirement was later lifted, opening the auditions up to "anyone above 18". The official Opera GX Twitter account claimed the previous age limit was a "misunderstanding" and that they "were simply trying to convey that Aura is a young adult".
