<![CDATA[Really slow speed connection in Youtube with Opera.]]>Hi, do you have any idea why with Opera I have always a really slow speed connection in Youtube? I have always to watch Yuotube videos with another browser (Firefox), with Opera most of the times is impossible. For example now with Opera I have an average speed of ~1600Kbps, but with Firefox I have a speed of ~12000Kbps. I have no problems with my internet connection, I think it's browser related, or something with Google tecnology, or compatibility, I don't know. I have not tried with Chrome.

Here two examples:

Instead it's a frequent drop in speed, and often results in the video buffering. Testing on firefox, I get consistent 25,000+. Here's the stats:

same issue here

Where are the screen shots with the speeds?

Youtube loads videos in 144p.

This is a different issue.

Turbo and vpn disabled, Youtube loads videos in 144p. This only happens with Opera, any suggestions? The browser is up to date.

Opera:

Chrome:

Firefox:

Both Opera and Chromium got more than 2 times the speed that Firefox got. Maybe because of the user of webm/vp9 instead of mp4/h264?

The technology buffers only the part of the video that you are watching and a little after it. It has many advantages but may cause playback issues for some.

I am eager to know if you could replicate it with Chrome or another Chromium-based web browser.
