@mikeogghertz Opera doesn't do that. Unless, of course, if you are using the VPN.

@leocg They don't use the clearest path / pipelines?
You get the choice with some compression browsers to have 'nearest' server / clearest server / etc, feed the traffic

@53-north I don't think so.

@mikeogghertz If the servers in Iceland & Poland are too busy, I believe I've seen it happen occasionally (in the noughties).

@53-north What are you talking about?

@leocg It might be a reference to the discontinued "Opera Turbo" function.

I had Opera GX on my computer and it was really shady. I tried to love it, but it did not open the web pages with valid login credentials, so i had to change all passwords for security reasons. And also my window manager did not allow me to arrange the opera browser, but for some reason that app window was not registered as the other windows apps did. It was shady and broken.

@ponakka It has nothing to do with what is being discussed here.

@jkels Yeah, that has to be it. Opera GX's connections are direct and don't run through any servers (any Turbo compression servers or anything) when the VPN is off.

@ponakka The window manager is mostly a problem on your side. Whereas not opening websites with valid login credentials are only present when the VPN is on and running.
