        @toty127 Probably related to YouTube's latest strategy of how to deal with people trying to block their ads. As I read on Slashdot recently, YouTube is intentionally slowing down the connection if they think you have an ad-blocker. They of course want you to either disable your ad-blocker on their site or upgrade to YouTube Premium. Obvious way to see if this is the cause - temporarily disable the ad-blocker then reload the page. If it works fine that way, it is their fault and not Opera's. Though Opera will of course try to bypass this in the future.

            @toty127 Shift Escape to see what specific YouTube video is using that much CPU.

            Is hardware acceleration enabled? What is the video codec?
