      Ever since i have downloaded this browser, everything has been fine since this month, everything has been taking long to load. i have been restarting and clearing out unused space and it has been taking 2-3 minutes when i try to load a YouTube video, i have been turning on and off VPN, Ad Blocker, Tracker Blocker, and been re-downloading Opera GX. My connection to the internet has been fine, i have taken off extensions and it has been really slow. everything else has been slow a bit but only one website (YouTube) has been real laggy.

        Ok people, it seems that after the update that was released today, the issue that the browser takes time to close when you close it, is fixed. For me at least. So you might wanna check it out with the latest update.

          Ever since about last week, my Opera GX browser has been acting extremely slowly. I've never had this problem with any other app other then this browser and it has now gotten to the point where I need to close Opera to conserve CPU and boost performance in other apps as it causes my PC to lag and CPU to rocket in temperature even in idle. I don't normally have too many tabs open, but whether or not I have 3 or 10 tabs open, it always lags the same way. Closing tabs takes sometimes 3 seconds and sometimes even freezes my entire screen and sends my PC a loud beeping noise. Every other app including other browsers like Google Chrome don't act this way and I have literally 0 extensions running or even installed on Opera GX, so i'm wondering why the browser is behaving this way now.

          My PC specs:
          Ryzen 5 3600X
          RTX 2060
          16GB RAM

          I don't think my specs are that bad to have performance this terrible, and at the same time this never happened before until a little before last week, and I had barely done anything to my PC or touched it either.

              @killmizi Check in the internal task manager what is using so much CPU.

              Do you see the same issue in regular Opera?

                @killmizi the problem is not your specs, but try checking your hard drive, if you have a cheap hard drive then that could be a big problem with why, i had a cheap hard drive and thus my lap top was extremely slow, try and get a digital hard drive, you're pc will be much faster

                              @medulla Usually the problem is the limiters, try to disable all limiters or reduce them

                                What you mean with "limiters"?
                                The Problem still exits.

                                  @medulla he means like opera GX has a GX control that controls how much memory and CPU space it takes.

                                    Thank you for explanation.
                                    Right from the start, since I've been using opera gx, the limiters have been deactivated.
