      I dont use chrome but the videos buffer just fine in firefox.

      FF doesn't use Chromium. The ideia is to compare with a Chromium based browser to see if it's a Chromium behaviour.

      BTW, does it happens on all videos? Both Flash based ones and html5 ones?

          Probably a Chromium issue then. Disabling hardware acceleration makes any difference?

            Not a noticable difference.

              Any extensions being used? What about anti-virus?

              Does it happens on all pages?

                Extensions used are: Ghostery, Ad guard adblocker, FVD video downloader, and ImprovedTube - youtube extension. Anti virus in use is avast free. Aside frome youtube, this issue happens on all pages.

                  Have you tried with extensions disabled? if needed, check also with anti-virus disabled.

                  Are Turbo or VPN enabled?

                    Still happens with everything disabled. I do not use turbo or vpn either.

                      Try a standalone installation of Opera and see if it also happens there.

                        It seems the issue persists in the standalone version as well. Or was I meant to un/reinstall?

                          Nope, just a standalone install was enough.

                            What I actually did was performed the standalone install over an extisting installation which upgraded opera.

                              It's better to try to do a clean install.

                                Even on a fresh install the problem persists.
