      Maybe re-install, but i dont want all my settings and tabs to be deleted.

      Can you try with a standalone installation of Opera Stable just to test with?

        @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.

            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.
