Hello, I am using an macbook air 2020 and my opera lags like crazy. there are no problem with other web browsing applications such as safari and google but when I use opera I can't even watch videos on youtube. I don't have any connection problems and my pc works realy good on any other operation.
How can I solve this problem ? Thank you in advence.

Did you try to turn off ad blocker? Did you enabled any extra features in Opera that are off be default?

@Mlipka My version is Opera 130.0 I guess. I tried turn off ad blocker and many other options. There are not any extra features open and even if I turn on them it shouldn't be a problem. I used this pc on far more challenging activities. İt was not the best for sure but its realy not normal to lagg like this on even the simplest task.

@Edmond-Dantes-2204 The Opera browser is having issues with YouTube and YouTube Music. But to improve performance, I’d recommend going to the settings:
- Go to the “Features” section -> disable everything except “Volume Boost”, you should even disable battery saver mode, as it doesn't work as expected and causes delays.
- Go to “Sync” -> disable “My Flow”
- Go to “Early Bird” -> disable everything
- Go to “Video” -> disable everything except “Show pop out button on videos”
- Go to “Opera AI” -> disable everything
- Go to “VPN” -> disable everything
When you visit YouTube, click the “Privacy Protection” icon in the top-right panel. Turn off everything and allow acceptable ads.
Then install the “uBlock Origin” Chrome extension and enjoy.But even after all this, performance remains poor, and it’s better to switch to alternative browsers.
