      My browser doesn't accept DuckDuckGo and switches to GoogleSearch every time. Even when it doesn't i get an "Tunnel Connection ERROR".
      In addition, my download rate is equal to nothing nada. Malwarebytes even reports that "Opera.exe" is "committed".

      For my concern to give an approach what my guess is here. But it's not finally clear.

      • Can this behavior be due to : "FVD Speed ​​Dial" ? (on/off) ☣

      • Or is this due to : "DuckDuckGo" servers (dropouts) ? ⚠

        Here is a screenshot i found to add to this messy beahavior of mine.

        Opera ERROR.PNG

        It even randomly chrashes. The strangest thing recently is it nags my RAM usage to the point my win7 maschine get a pop-up that forces me to close all programs and free up RAM and/or to restart my computer.

        Is this a vpn, a extension or browser error ? Because in Mozilla/Edge it works fine. Due to the FVD issue, i read around and found a replacement sort of kind. But the exe, ram crashes holy moly.

                  @leocg Yes but that can only be due to this FVD , because when I turn it on and browse, it doesn't take as so long until a page suddenly doesn't open anymore. Yes, even if it was off.

                  The thing also resets my Stylus .json backup profile. At least i thing it does. I also have a lot of opera processes running for some reason (even while scrolling build in personalized messages only). I suspected that it got so bad after ublock origin had issues recently, because at/about the time everything started to go crazy at once.

                  Know I have everything on as ad / track blockers but never had anything like that. So I'll do everything again first, because unfortunately I can't contribute anything, except that I had this or that on and off ...
                  If this beahavior continues after a fresh install i'll report back of course. Stay Human (¬_¬)
