        I just installed the Browser and finished setting it up, when i noticed youtube would only load in 144p. So I did a speedtest, in Opera I have a dowlnoad of 16MBps, wheras my download with the same Speedtest in Firefox is 105MBps. I already turned of the VPN and some other possibly throttling settings but nothing changed.

            @potat0e Disable all extensions that you may have installed. Also disable third party softwares, specially anti-virus and other security related software.

                  As the title says, my browser started working ridiculously slow the past week, it takes like 30 seconds to open a link, to make a Google search and even to open a Youtube video, no matter what the action is, it takes like 15 times more time that it used to take. Even the Youtube video miniature that appears when you pass your mouse over the buffered line to see what's next is affected, it is white, and takes 30s-1m to load.
                  If I use Chrome I don't have any problem at all, so I'm making the assumption that it's something related to OperaGx.

                  -Things I did the past week that could have cause the problem:
                  *Nothing out of the ordinary actually, I have crypto wallet extensions, multiple Youtube videos tabs open, I close opera with them open so I can retake on them tomorrow, I have like 4-5 videos open and in total 8 tabs every time with whatever I was watching that I decided I better keep it open so I can retake on it later, but it was never a problem, and overall, I did those things before the problem started and it worked just fine.

                  -Things I did to try to fix this:
                  *Clear cache, cookies, everything in the gx cleaner, and not only the pas 30 days, I chose everything.
                  *I disabled my extensions (not uninstall them).
                  *I closed all the tabs.
                  *I did a clean boot of windows.

                  My system specs are the next:
                  Ryzen 5 5600x
                  1650 Super
                  16gb (2x8) Ram 3200hz
                  SSD 500Gb (operating system, and have more than 25% space free, I have opera installed in here)
                  HDD 3Tb
                  Wired connection 100Mb/s

                  I'll appreciate any idea of what could be causing the problem, thanks!

                      I was having issues with speed and this fixed it for me.

                      Turned off vpn, hardware acc and battery saving mode.

                        Turning off Battery saving mode helped scrolling in map applications. Turning off hardware actually worsened it so I kept hardware acceleration on.

                            @payureal Running any browser as admin is dangerous, as it can allow websites to make changes on your computer. It also saves the browser's configuration files as owned by admin, which can make them inaccessible to a normal user. A good sandbox may mitigate the first issue somewhat, but I wouldn't want to rely on that.

                                Maybe try Re-installing the browser, and remove all user data during the process...

                                  Opera GX is slow ever since last update.

                                  When launched it takes long until Start Page is loaded (Opera`s Speed Dial).
                                  YouTube page loading is extremely slow at times, it can even freeze tab sometimes when loading page, and not to mention bigger playlists.

                                  Before anyone suggests the usual, yes tried completely reinstalling, ran without addons, Opera Settings are the same as always (No Data Saving or anything that can slow it down.)

                                  Like I said, it only started happening after last update.

                                    @gonzo1 isn't this just a complicated way of, uninstall/delete user data, then reset computer and run as administrator, which by the way I've tried and doesn't work

                                      Hi there folks,

                                      a few days ago my Opera GX started running really slow for some reason, i've tried to google it but to no avail.

                                      I have fewer tabs open that i usually have, so that's not it. I'm on a i9 9900K 32GB RAM PC, so that's not it.
                                      I've tried closing a lot of tabs, zero difference. Restarting either Opera or the entire PC doesn't do anything.
                                      I've disabled pretty much every extension.

                                      I really don't know what else i can do. Any suggestion?

                                      Thanks

                                          New user a few mins ago, and I was using Opera normal browser before using Opera GX, but even though it has a cool look, after 45 mins of usage, I was unable to open 2 tabs which I want to open.
                                          Was so eager to move into Opera GX for the first time and this happens.

                                            Sometimes all the tabs open at once this is why the tabs are so slow.
