I have followed all the instructions about cleaning up Opera & my computer and re-checking the load-up time. Everything is still slow. Google Chromium with 13 tabs, opens in 3 seconds. Opera with 10 tabs opens in 15 seconds. What's the deal??

Some months ago, Chromium also loaded fairly slowly, then a Chromium update speeded things up considerably. I thought that since Opera is based on Chrome, that it would soon be updated and speed up also..... but no go.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 on a 64 bit machine.

This Dark Theme problem has existed for over a year while using UBUNTU. I am currently using Ubuntu 17.04. I used to use Opera as my primary browser but the illegible text issue put me off so I quit using Opera about a year ago. I am now back because I love the speed of the browser and its simple design and I was hoping that the issue had been fixed, but it hasn't. Really, it's just a question of putting dark backgrounds in the small text boxes, something that has just been overlooked. Please fix this simple problem so that the browser is usable and I will continue to use it.
