For future reference, see if https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config helps.

I've forgot to include some more info:

MIUI Global 12.0.8 QJGEUXM
Android 10 QKQ1.200512.002

Tried with both Adblock enabled and disabled. Well I've tried enabling/disabling all options, nothing helps.

@nvmjustagirl said in Opera stuttering and occasionally freezes while playing YouTube videos:

type this in opera 's address bar

opera://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist

and Enable - Override software rendering list

Enable 'n this flag will change - Hardware Protected Video Decode: Unavailable

to = Hardware accelerated..

also get chrome updated And your gaphic drivers..

I am pleased to report that I am currently able to run Opera smoothly after updating the browser, and tweaking a few settings. I also have this extension called Speed Up Browsing, which seems to have made an improvement in performance. As of this current post, I currently have several tabs open in Opera (while running this other extension called Tab Suspender, which automatically suspends inactive background tabs after a set period of time) with no performance hits, even while playing YouTube videos in HD
