I know the go to response from people would be "it's the encoding/VP9/etc" but that doesn't explain why on Vivaldi with the exact same addons installed, I don't experience that issue

Does Opera GX use the latest Chromium as base? It might give some performance boost

@sprite-1 Menu > Help > About Opera will show you the version of Chromium being used.

@leocg is it the "core" value?

@sprite-1 Nope, it's the Chrome build in the user agent/browser identification.
