Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!

On two of my computers, one runs Windows 7, the other runs Windows 10, neither of them are unable to connect to the VPN server. I have tried clearing cookies and other information, I have reinstalled Opera while deleting all the user data, nothing seems to work. What is causing me to not connect to the VPN server?
@blackbird71 I did try and use ProtonVPN on Windows to see if my ISP was blocking Opera VPN and it doesn't seem to be the case.
Opera VPN was just working yesterday just fine. I don't know why is it screwed up all of a sudden?
@ultravio1et I have done that it is still laggy.
@ultravio1et Hi, hardware acceleration was set to on. I have an i915 intel driver and I have an integrated intel HD graphics card.
Chromium-based browsers are all unnecessarily taking up too much CPU processing power. I pressed shift+esc on both Windows and Linux within the browsers and I found that Brave was taking up way too much CPU processing power compared to Windows. So I compared two websites Benchmark Your Graphics Card On Linux and WhatsApp Web
Idle: 1-4
Scrolling: 30-40
Idle: 0
Scrolling: 30-60
Idle: 0-3
Scrolling: 18-48
Idle: 17
Scrolling: 140-160
Idle: 0
Scrolling: 153
Idle: 2-5
Scrolling: 110
So I am not too sure why on Linux Chromium-based browsers are taking up more CPU processing power compared to Windows, if anyone knows what is going on I would love to know. Thanks 
Note that this applies to all chromium-based browsers, not just for Brave. Even with Opera I was getting similar results.
@leocg Ok so when I type this into the console opera --enable-gpu-rasterization --ignore-gpu-blacklist --disable-gpu-driver-workarounds it is much smoother but it is still choppy and laggy. Do you know what else needs to be done to fix this?
@zibi1981 So I have copied a log from chrome://gpu/ and I pasted the contents into a document https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pT7XBCty5Ej1D3LAZnsFF9CdIq3ytEkg I am hoping if somebody can please take a look at this and tell me what is causing the lag issues.
Hi, I really want to use brave and opera. Those are the main two browsers I use and this is due to a specific reason. Do you know how to solve this issue for both opera and brave?
I have done benchmark tests and everything and Linux more or less performs the same compared to Windows on the same hardware.
But when it comes to scrolling and doing anything else, Opera and other chromium-based browsers lag on websites with a lot of content. Particularly with this website https://linuxconfig.org/benchmark-your-graphics-card-on-linux it lags a lot on Linux but is fine on Windows.
Even on Firefox that particular website does fine (other than having screentearing issues). Is there a way to solve this?
@leocg Yes I know it is partially open source, but making Opera open source makes me trust the browser. How do I know that the developers did not put some kind of code that can spy on users?
Why can't Opera become a free and open source browser, like Firefox, Chromium etc?
@jack36 I did similar to what you did it did not work.
