@MENTOR6 It appears by your date/timestamp that you are in the area of Europe / Germany which has numerous complaints similar to yours. Here's a link to a Reddit page for your reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1n7oel1/endless_buffering_and_extremely_slow_connection/

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!!

@thelazysamurai So I guess you're getting them also? It worked great for a while but now I get them all over the Facebook page. Almost 1 after every post I look at!!

@thelazysamurai Yes! Every time I go to Facebook now.

@needevery-1 I posted a reply 4 days ago; do you have a fix for this problem yet?? I am STILL getting plenty of Sponsored ads on Facebook!!

@needevery-1 I tried Facebook after I received your message and the extension worked OK that time. Later when I used Facebook again the sponsored ads were back and they still are.

I don't know if it's because I'm still using Windows 7 Pro and the last version of Opera I can use with Win7 is ver. 95.0.4635.84 but that may be the problem. I see if I had a newer OS the latest Opera version is 99.0.4788.5 which won't run on Win7.

Any suggestions?? Thanks for your help!

Not working on Facebook as of today, May 31, 2023. Please fix ASAP!!
