@leocg when i watch videos on youtube it get choppy on 1080p but when i use a extension called h264ify it shows the videos smooth
Most likely that's because the decoding for h.264 is hardware-accelerated while vp8/vp9 is not. VP9 acceleration depends on your CPU and GPU for one. Then, Opera would have to take advantage of it and it might depend on OS, but not sure.

If you have a Youtube account, can be enabled on Settings.

@burnout426 okay never had the problem before tho
Ok. I'm not saying for certain lack of hardware-acceleration is the reason. Just saying that it might be.

Didn't read the help, but it's supposed to be reversible.
Seems to be better, but as advised, you need some capable Hardware to run it.
