Deleting separate History entries is slow beyond any common sense.

@allanfelipe It's not "nice", because it forces me to choose between "empty History" and "easily deleting specific entries". And also because the sole reason behind this is some shitty encoding that only got introduced recently in the first place. So, no, not "nice" at all.

@superkoshej613 Haha ok, fair enough. I mean, better than nothing. But the developers could indeed take a look at some simple things that are broken, before launching these fancy stuff which I'll never use, like ai prompt or lucid mode.

@allanfelipe Or at least they should Read and Reply, well, Here, ya know. I've posted my own complaint about this History issue a month or two ago - and I'm yet to receive a single response that Wasn't "well, then just delete your entire History". Nope, it's Broken (their fault), not Overloaded (my fault). That's literally just dodging the actual problem. Annoys me a lot, mind you.

I personally can't reproduce the issue so far.
Are you using regular Opera or Opera GX or Opera Crypto or Opera Beta or Opera Developer?
What version of that Opera as see at the URL
opera://about?What version and build of Windows?
Anything special about your installation? Do you have your profile on another drive besides the system drive (goto the URL
opera://aboutand take a look at the "profile" path).On whatever drive it's installed on, is it an SSD or mechanical hard drive?
What does CrystalDiskInfo say for the health of your drive the profile is on?
Might want to check your system files for good measure.
You can make sure the file system on your drive is not corrupted. See the "How to Run CHKDSK With the Right Flags" section at https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/stuck-chkdsk-use-fix-right-way/.
Make sure you can reproduce the issue in a test standalone installation too.
Maybe some of the info can help narrow things down why Opera is being slow at deleting history for some users.

@burnout426 Hi, these are some information I can give right now. It's regular opera running on Windows 10 Home and this is the about:
Version:99.0.4788.13
Opera is up to date
Update stream:Stable
System:Windows 10 64-bit
Chromium version:113.0.5672.127There's just one 2Tb drive (mechanical).
Anyway, I don't have this kind of problem with other browsers (I have Firefox and Edge installed, but I prefer Opera).

i have a problem quite similar to this. when i try to delete an entry, whole history window becomes unresponsive. it locks itself, the whole history entry disappears even. it's really annoying and forces me to switch browser when i don't want to.

There's a performance fix for deleting history that came out in Opera Developer 100.0.4796.0. Please test in the latest Opera Developer (100.0.4801.0 at the moment) to see if this issue is fixed too or not.

Hello @burnout426, the latest version of Opera Dev. browser is working perfectly fine. I can delete single history entries both from mini history pop-up and history window. However, i got used to some of GX features such as keybord and tab sounds. Do i get to unlock similar sounds with Opera Dev. browser?

@burnout426 Slow deletion of history on opera has been an issue for a while now.

It is also my problem too ... history takes time to load and deleting one entry takes 3 seconds to load before it updates ...

My version is 100.0.4815.54 and I'm having the same problem for a while. Deleting entries is extremly hard and besides that history tab is problematic as while. Multiple times I come up to a empty page when I open the history page.

Still persists. Even the most newest update still "silently nudges" me to clean my History at least weekly, or the OP problem comes back. How about you actually fix the stupid coding that causes the number of entries to be a problem to begin with? Because if it was just a text file, I'm pretty sure there would NOT be ANY delays or problems. So who needs this dumb encoding anyways? I sure don't. -

I use Opera for a long time and always recommended it, but unfortunately these "small" things, like the delay when deleting history entries, impossibility to disable the mute button in tabs, the existence of a border, crashes where I lost all my open tabs ... are pushing me towards Vivaldi.

Deleting one single entry seems to last more than 5 seconds and only have a month of entries. I also have has to crash the Opera.exe program several times for eating up all of my RAM. If these bugs are not fixed, I'm bailing out for a different browser. It is irritating that Opera thinks so poorly of its users.
