Despite I had no black screen or rendering problems like with Firefox, Opera browser seems slower. Much, much slower.

For instance, websites load slightly slower than on Firefox, but first website loads indefinitely. Literally after a shutdown, restart, cookie cleaning and long idle (+30 minutes of inactivity time), Opera cannot load websites in a timely manner. If it somehow manages to "load"it, it will display a message "Your connection was interrupted A network change was detected" and freeze on that.
The only "solution" I found so far is to start Opera, try loading some website (it will not load it, 110% ), exit Opera after 10 seconds and wait for about 2 minutes. Then start Opera again and it will finally load websites in a timely manner. It's beyond annoying. Turbo-ultra-hyper slowness and definitely the slowest first web page loading in the history of web browsing. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Does anyone else have similar problems with Opera? I don't have much additional addons except an ad blocker, but even without it, the painful slowness persists. Clean install didn't help, nor disabling hardware acceleration nor enabling "Opera turbo".

Dorset where else eh? >>> Thats ENGLAND<<<
DNS ? causing problems
people suggest changing it to Google or some other DNS Server

Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, ... settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS

Nope. You have an option to enable/disable VPN.

Don't get me wrong, Opera is a very good browser with a lot more options than Chrome or Firefox, but such extremely slow first website loading is beyond annoying.

I will try a few more options and see which one solved the problem.
