@Reakeryt-OP Probably. But, it won't hurt to try Opera GX so you can see for yourself if you like it. It uses a different install location and a different profile location (as shown above), so you can test it out first without interfering with your regular Opera. You can also just make a standalone installation to a folder named "Opera GX Test" on your desktop to try Opera GX and then delete the folder when you're done testing. That also won't interfere with your regular Opera.

@Reakeryt-OP Try a test standalone installation of regular Opera to a folder named “Opera Test” on you desktop. Is everything fast there?

@Reakeryt-OP With all Operas closed, delete everything in “C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp” and in “C:\Windows\temp” to see if it makes a difference. In super-rare cases, that can help. Besides that, not sure unless it’s a connection issue.
Make sure Opera’s VPN and Adblocking and tracking protection is off when testing in the standalone installation just in case one of them is the cause.

@burnout426 delete every file in the opera folder or just everything in general?

@Reakeryt-OP Everything in those temp folders in general. There will be a few files that Windows won't let you delete. You can skip those.
