      @zalex108: If honestly, I like the tab's animated equalizer (this is something that differs from other browsers). But if the animated indicator causes a lot of issues regarding the performance, I'm ready to see the simple static muted/playing sound indicator, like it works in other browsers.

        On my side I think the same, but @burnout426 said that there is something more, not just the Tab's Gif.

        We'll see what is the problem and happens.

        For now, Opera is unusable to watch media while doing other stuff.

          @zalex108: It's true that this is not a simple gif because the animation is different all the time and corresponds to what's happening right now (similar to real equalizer), tied to sound volume or similar.

            @andrew84: At least they finally fixed and improved their video pop-out feature.

              @artexjay this is not their video pop-out anymore, this is default Chromium's popup (their original popup is still broken and won't be fixed).
              Explanation is here https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2019/11/opera-66-0-3511-0-developer-update/#comment-190672

                Is this a regression from Opera 60 beta?

                  Correction: not from Opera 60 but from Opera 66 beta.

                    @zalex108 and @temkem, could you provide list of URLs where there's still high cpu uage when playing media?

                    OS details too please.

                      In addition, on these sites, I began to hang and slow down the video. If I hover my mouse over a tab, the video stops hanging and slowing down.

                            Had trouble finding URLs as I don't have accounts with them. But, I hunted on Google for some .

                            I tried with https://ok.ru/live/1386345799187 in Opera 66.0.3515.2 64-bit on Windows 10 1909 with the video set to 480p and 720p. The video does not studder at all for me and plays fine. There's also very little difference in CPU usage when the tab audio indicator is animating and when it's not.

                            I also tried https://vk.com/video-126024280_456239281 (which is just an embedded youtube video) and the same results.

                            All seems good to me.

                              @burnout426: I have the following results with the first video on Win8x64 (approx. the same timeline and I turned off antivirus). As you see CPU speed shows maximum when unmuted and ~3 times less when muted.

                                  @burnout426 There's a difference also if I hover the cursor over the tab or mute it, I forgot to mention. So, I'm not sure how big is the difference, it seems that the animation always shows the full speed, but when muted the cpu speed varies (but I see the full speed not so often with muted tab in contrast to the active equalizer)

                                    @andrew84 I have similar results on Ytube with 720p (not 60fps) video. So maybe I can't confirm the issue on these 2 sites. I don't know.

                                        Are you sure this is Opera's problem? As soon as you open the video on vk.com and ok.ru, buffering begins, which can cause hangs and slowdowns within seconds.
                                        For me personally, the fix "DNA-82626 [Win] High CPU usage due to media indicator animation" solved the video problem, I don't see much difference with Сhrome now.

                                          Yes, I'm sure, since I can see that the buffering has already passed.
                                          And when you hover over a tab vk.com or ok.ru the video starts playing normally.
                                          on stable Opera 65.0.3467.48 there is no such problem on the site vk.com
