Traditional Opera, the GX version I don't like because it takes time to update the chromium version.
Yeah I sort of recall something similar last time I tested it. It was slower with it's release of updates. Other then that, it had features I normally never used. I'm satisfied enough with the stable version.
 
From my day-to-day experience, and it also has an extension called Page load time, with it you can know how long your browser takes to open a website completely.
Use the Network section of developers tools instead to measure the time. That might give you a more accurate result. Though it's possible that the extension is showing the same value to you, but the extension itself can have an impact.

I downloaded the extension faybert mentioned, found it interesting. Can you teach me how to test like you said? @network section of developers tools@?

F12 > Network, then browse the website.

I've already done the comparison and the results are almost identical, but thanks for the tip.
