Every other app including other browsers like Google Chrome don't act this way and I have literally 0 extensions running or even installed on Opera GX, so i'm wondering why the browser is behaving this way now.
#Gx works 2 q173 cpu Pc#
Closing tabs takes sometimes 3 seconds and sometimes even freezes my entire screen and sends my PC a loud beeping noise. I don't normally have too many tabs open, but whether or not I have 3 or 10 tabs open, it always lags the same way. I've never had this problem with any other app other then this browser and it has now gotten to the point where I need to close Opera to conserve CPU and boost performance in other apps as it causes my PC to lag and CPU to rocket in temperature even in idle.
I have also reported the issue as a bug feedback.Įver since about last week, my Opera GX browser has been acting extremely slowly. I've been an Opera user for years and never had these issues before. The browser behaves fine when you first open it, but as time passes while using it starts to feel bloated and it's frustrating. I also have MS Edge, which does not give me any similar issues(no matter time of use or open tabs). Sometimes there are issues loading twitter posts embedded on Reddit posts as well where the twitter post keeps loading and never appears.Īnother issue is that, even closing the browser "feels heavy" as it takes almost 3-4 seconds for the browser to close after I click the close button instead of closing instantly.Īnd those things happen only with Opera GX.
I usually have 7-10 tabs open constantly and there is no specific time frame as to when this starts happening. Now ever since 2 or 3 updates(didn't keep track of versions) of Opera GX the browser started to have some issues after sometime of use on each session.Īfter a while of using the browser, it starts to feel somewhat "heavy", meaning clicking on links (like google results) to open webpages takes quite a lot of time of loading(it may take 5 seconds and on extreme ocasions upto 15-20 seconds) until the pages load. First of all I have already done the following:ĭisable all extensions (I even removed all of them)
