but now i cant even watch videos!
any kind of media loads properly, do from now on, im moving to another browser.
The main feature i enjoyed from opera was the sidebar withe easy shortcuts and the chrome extensions compatible with opera.
So, wit that in mind, which browser would you suggest to use?
Thanks
Regarding the issue with videos, if you provide some context maybe someone can help fixing it.
Let it go, get Vivaldi. GX is decent but looks cringe “epic gamer” stuff. And at that point anyway you might as well switch.
I suggest you to use Opera.
I am not having the problem you are, but the new update messed up some other stuff on my browser. I have been using Opera for years and was satisfied and had no problems to the extent I never even considered looking for anything else. So it messed up enough I’m now looking at alternatives, as much as I used to hate it, I have heard Microsoft Edge is now really good, and fixed a lot of things that people used to complain about, so I’m giving it a try. Good luck in your search.
Yup, they definitely screwed up streaming on many sites, on my case I’m overseas and use opera with vpn on to view DIRECTV Steam but now it’s clammed up… you can still navigate the site (add recordings/delet shows, etc…) but the video just don’t play like they did just yesterday
Anyone know of any other browsers with vpn in them like Opera has …
Just switched to Vivaldi. The new Opera GUI is too painful. So glad they messed with a good thing.
Agreed. I am using Chrome & Brave as replacements. Occasionally safari - but not so much.ü
This new update is a mess equavilent to deviantart’s eclipse debacle… just damn
I’ve used Opera for years. This update is what will make me install Firefox tonight. I can grumble and put up with some UI bs I don’t like but it’s loading many MANY of my sites at least 3 or 4 times a slow (sometimes slower). Not acceptable. This update is crap and Opera will lose market share because of it. What a stupid move.
i dont know, videos just doesnt load anymore…
I tried to download Vivaldi. Only 100mb, it took almost 1 hour to download so i canceled it.
Yes, GX is disgusting hehehe
(No, it wasn’t my connection, i checked it.)
I’m trying Brave right now and it has an integrated VPN, but its just a 7 days trial…
You should just get a standalone VPN. It will be much faster and you can use it with any software. I just got a 12 month sub to Avast Secureline VPN for AUD$35. OK it might not work for HULU or BBC IPLAYER from Australia but still gives peace of mind! 
What OS?
Also, try with a test standalone installation to see if everything works fine there. Also, try test standalone installations of Opera Beta and Opera Developer to see if your issues are already fixed there.
Firefox is also very good now. I actually hadn’t used it in years but it comes installed with some Linux systems I was trying out and it’s different than I remember.
The only thing that holds me back from Vivaldi is their video popout sucks.
Thanks, I’ll check it… how much is after the trial and what are the speeds Opera‘s was usually pretty low at about 5MB
I know, but leary of doing it out of my country (just some stupid unfounded reason) and I’m in Central America visiting family and their top speed is only 25mb anyways so I doubt I’d gain much 
… when I get back stateside I’ll look into it
I’m trying to understand how these standalone vpn work on a desktop or iPad … is it a program that works in the Background and hides the original IP?..
for now I found a cheapo get around since I have a cheap😅 android box and d/l Opera onto it and was able to view DTV stream that way and access any US websites with the vpn on … but it makes me wonder if maybe uninstalling opera on my laptop and then reinstalling might solve the issue
Download the extension windowed
10dlls.
But i would try some other free vpn alternatives before paying it.
