        @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?

                    @burnout426 Installed Opera dev edition on the desktop as suggested, and I had no lag at all.

                    I went back to the normal installation with all extensions disabled, and also experienced no lag. So I started enabling extensions one by one, and the lag starts when I enable a particular extension called Wappalyzer (installed through the Chrome store). To confirm, I disabled it and enabled it several times, and each time after enabling it the lag comes back. By lag, I mean freezing on page loads (sometimes several seconds) and occasionally when switching tabs.

                    On the previous version of Opera, this extension does not cause any issues.

                      Anyone else using this extension?

                        Enable the extension, goto opera://extensions and check "enable on search results", does the extension start behaving?

                          You know, I turned off all my extensions and freezes are gone. It seems that some Aliexpress extensions works bad with last update. No lags and freezes yet.

                            Awesome. With your help, Opera was able to figure out what's wrong and fix it. It's a simple fix (not a new version, but if there's a new version available, update) that you should get through auto-update. You just need to restart Opera for it to be applied.

                            Can you try to restart Opera and try again. Maybe do a check for updates just for good measure and then restart?

                              Yes it seems it was the aliexpress extension. Thanks.

                                Yeah it might have been the AliTools extension. But it got updated and now it works fine again.

                                  I can confirm it's working normally with the Wappalyzer plugin.

                                  @burnout426 could you disclose what the issue was? I'm sure the Aliexpress and Wappalyzer extensions have some similar behaviour for both to be affected.

                                    Sorry, I don't know any details except that it was an issue with a setting (not sure if that was meant as a simple preference issue or if it meant a setting with one of Opera's internal extensions).

                                    I would guess that it had something to do with the extension blocking on search pages feature though.
