Same here. My opera has been slow ever since the update to version 70. Using google can sometimes take a bit to load and when you click a link after having finished a google search it takes like 10 seconds or so just to open Wikipedia. I also tried re-installing version 69 to see if it's the same there but it instantly loads things. I don't know what happened but version 70 compared to 69 is really slow.

@N1h1l1s7 You can change google search engine from (.gr) to (.com) or something else. To do that you have to edit the "local state" file. I'm in Germany right now and changed the location line to:

"location":{"country":"us","country_from_server":"US"}

@Nyless I only have that problem in Opera not in either one of the other browsers. I'm even using the uBlock Origin extension from the chrome store instead of the Opera one because it seems like the opera one is always one version behind. Still, even disabling the extensions doesn't fix the problem for me so I doubt it's that.

I also had the same problem earlier for which the page loading was slow and if I clicked a link on the google search it was loading for like 5-10 seconds. But at least for now after going back and forth between version 69.0.3686.49 and 70.0.3728.106 I don't see the problem on the latest version anymore. I hope it somehow fixed itself.

@zoruk That worked for me as well. Thanks!
Maybe this'll also solve the problem I'm seeing with Twitch having a small freeze a minute or so after I start watching a stream.

Edit: Apparently that fixed my Twitch problem as well.

@leocg That makes no difference for me.
@xtakezox The problem is if you fix it with uBlock Origin and filter the space then the next time you watch a video with a playlist, the playlist is also filtered but is still working.

The same thing is happening here. When I right click on it and see what element it is with uBlock origin it says it's the playlist. I hope this gets resolved soon.
