<![CDATA[Opera GX slows down my browsing]]>I’ve had a problem with Opera GX sometimes being slower than other browsers. It gets especially slow when I have too many features on, like the VPN or ad blocker. It makes browsing feel laggy, especially on my older device.

Is anyone having the same issue?

If you're doing something that requires no additional data from the net - such as writing text somewhere - it should make no difference to your computee.

The ad blocker should actually speed things up, since you'll be receiving less data total.
