          To test if it's a GPU issue, you could turn off hardware acceleration. chrome://settings/system.

            @burnout426 Windows 7 home premium and i5-2320 3.00GHz
            And I already turned that off. It resulted in disabling some, but not all, of my extensions, which in turn led to me losing about 1000 tabs worth of saved sessions. That was nice.

              So, you're saying you're using the GPU built into the i5-2320? As in, the Intel® HD Graphics 2000 GPU?

              32-bit or 64-bit?

              That's really weird that turning off that setting would do that. 😞

                @burnout426 Sorry, I'm a moron, I read GPU as CPU.
                My GPU is a GeForce GT 740 and the OS is 64-bit.

                    Same here, but for me it lags on all of my three, completely different PCs.... I think it started with the update to version 57...
                    All have W10 x64 1803 and 8GB RAM

                    1. Ryzen 5 2600 + GTX 1050ti
                    2. Core i3-6100U with integrated HD520
                    3. Core i3-540 with integrated GPU.

                    It is not really freezing for me, more like lagging (but that depends on what you call freezing...)
                    I had to switch back to Chrome, which does not have this problem at all.

                      Okay. Wondering if the issue is limited to Nvidai GPUs. Even if it's an issue only in Opera, have you tried https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/140563 to see if it helps?

                      You can goto https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/ and get the beta and develop versions of Opera just to *test* to see how they behave.

                        Maybe goto the URL chrome://gpu and see if everything (or most) is hardware-accelerated or not.

                          Maybe reset all the flags in chrome://flags. Maybe enable chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist if needed.

                            For testing you could try launching Opera's launcher.exe with --disable-gpu (which I think does more disabling of the GPU than the option in settings, but I forget). See https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disable-gpu.

                              I'm a long time Opera user, and I've started to experience this issue since the last update (57.0.3098.76 on Win10 64bit).

                              I have an Nvidia 1050 Ti and as @burnout426 suggested, I started Opera with --disable-gpu. I can confirm that the situation did not improve at all.

                              I'm noticing the lag on page loads (freezes for almost a second) and occasionally on tab switching. Never before have I experienced these lags. On my work PC, I'm not experiencing the same issues.

                              I've gone as far as disabling all the extensions, and re-installing Opera. No change at all. I do not experience any lags on the latest Chrome for what it's worth.

                                  @pingu01 Download the Opera Developer Win x64 offline installer linked on the right-side of https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", and install. Do things at least work fine there.

                                  @franken5 Do the same but with the non-x64 offline installer since you're using 32-bit Windows.

                                    After few minutes of testing I can say that the standalone Developer version is working fine...it is maybe a bit slower than what I was used to before the lagging problems started (it is slower than Chrome and before the problems I think the speed was comparable, maybe little bit better for opera). But that might be just a feeling. It is definetely not lagging nor freezing.
                                    Testing it on i3-540 with integrated GPU, will test on nvidia GTX1050ti later.

                                      I dont think that this problem really is hardware related.
                                      Many people experience the same issues i do with an i7 and an rtx 2070.
                                      Some have Windows 10, some, like me, Windows 7 (64bit).
                                      I guess its after a new update, but still it laggs my whole PC when i open Opera.
                                      This is a huge problem, because i am used to Opera and i dont want this crap Google-Chrome.
                                      I hope, a solution is coming soon. Maybe re-install, but i dont want all my settings and tabs to be deleted.

                                        Okay. Can you test a standalone version of Opera Stable just to be certain you can reproduce it in a clean profile without any extensions and without Opera Sync enabled.

                                          Anyone try with all extensions disabled to see if it makes a difference? Anyone using Opera Sync? If so, can you disable it for a bit to see if there's any difference?
