The Opera GX is slow topic

Ever since they revamped the UI into this ridiculous 'granny mode' with oversized bold 'futuristic' fonts (around 3-4 months ago) the browser has become painfully slow. It takes nearly 30 seconds just to open the sidebar or browser settings, let alone render websites properly. I finally had to uninstall it, it's absolutely trash on high-end system I bought 6 months ago.

Alriiiight. Joining the slow topic. I was perfectly fine, now opera gx is incredibly unresponsive. With it taking ages to click on something, or a page to load. Youtube has it the worst.

Try clearing your cache and disabling unnecessary extensions they often slow Opera GX down. Also, check if hardware acceleration is enabled in settings; turning it off sometimes improves performance. Make sure you’re on the latest version too.

For me, the new UI version is slow only when I search in a new tab — it takes around 10 seconds to load. The old version with the previous UI was fast and worked perfectly, but yesterday it suddenly crashed and wouldn’t open at all. So now I have no choice but to use the new version… honestly, so unlucky.

Eureka!! Hey Everyone! I just "may" have found the solution!! After trying almost every one of the recommended "fixes" for the extremely sluggish loading of pages on Opera GX, I just found out that changing my DNS settings to Cloudflare was the answer! [for me anyways; hope it is for you as well!]

Yesterday, neither CNN or Instagram would load and after just changing my DNS Servers to Cloudflare both load instantly! Even Youtube videos now load quickly and don't buffer like they did yesterday! I've attached a screenshot from a Google search on how to do it; hope it works for everyone else too!!
