Opera is takes a while to load when opening it

@icearity Its just a sign of the times im afraid. programmers/script kiddies nowadays consistently fail in any optimisation. rather blaming you for your crappy pc instead. On their end on their Quantum pc @ -1 Kelvin with 1024 Terrabytes of ram and a (list is endless lol ) it works instantly and all is well.
Im not saying i blame anyone this has been happening since computers were discovered.
It could be:
a slow hard drive,
a bad file somewhere,
a slow website/extension taking too long to handshake

it could be anything

if as you say similar browsers are instant
and i mean similar not chalk n cheese like firefox
then use the alternative
but i wouldnt hold your breathe for any fix of this nature to arrive...

You are right. I use Opera for many years now, it worked great for me. But know, Opera takes ages to show up and browsing takes longer then before. Just when you think Opera will not start up, it shows up.. that long it takes. It is a bug, i am sure. Opera need to fix this, not me. I can and will do nothing. Why? I have a fast machine, SSD, Ryzen 2600x, 16GB ram, W10 Pro, and all works fine....except the latest Opera.

So,m until Opera fixes their issue's, i rely on another browser for a while. Which, all run like crazy fast, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, whatever….

Opera, fix this, fix this fast because in this state, you will lose customers rapidly.

You can try using some software yo log Opera's startup, so you can get what is taking so long to load.

Here Opera opens fast enough.

I use Opera developer as my main browser and it usually opens fast. When it takes some more time to start is after a crash or something similar.

Dog slow, it can take up to 60 seconds just to display wallpaper, Explorer opens instantaneous with the same settings??? Opera acts like its Data mining for Kim Jung Ill instead of loading the search box for google??? This thing has got to go if theirs not a solution.

For that, you have to Backup | Reset.

For me it was same, Opera opening for 10 sec.
I have uninstaled all Apple softweare from my PC (iTunes, Bonjour..) since then my Opera is opening in millisecond.

@jediron7 There is considerable opinion from longstandiing respected , " geeks," is that Microsoft is the problem, creating slow down obstacles to nudge users to their own browser. Good luck with that Microsoft.
