@stevenjcee What do you mean by "sign me out of Opera" ? You logged in to Sync, so if you logout then you would be logging out of Sync.

Anyway, in sync settings you should be able to just turn synchronization off.

Re: General Opera GX Is Lagging/Freezing Topic
This behaviour can be replicated by opening Reddit and interacting with components such as the notifications/messages. The tab becomes unresponsive and so is the entire window, making it impossible to close or interact with Opera GX without killing the task in Task Manager. After relaunching, the tab has to be immediately closed or else the freeze will persist.
It has happened to me multiple times with a bunch of sites, but Reddit is the only example I can think of right now.

@matthew-dorota The same here and funny enough is that firstly I suspected Teams (which also freezes and lags). But after I have uninstalled Teams, Opera still works slowly.

@quik Yes my system can handle it because when the animated background is loaded i can re-open a new tab and it doesn't freeze, but if i stay on the same tab for a while, when i open a new tab i have the problem again! I think they should preload the animated background at the start of OperaGX instead of at the opening of the tab! And i'll try next days without the animated background and comeback here to say if the problem persists!

@iszar What it has to do with my comment?

@neetesha I'll try. It's annoying that although I am logged in in both Opera and Opera Beta and all sync options are on, Opera Beta doesn't get any of my bookmarks or speed dials.

@zarak said in Freezing when cancelling downloads:

@Sweeping The problem isn't on your cell phone. The problem is behind, your browser app maybe isn't updated. That's why when you try to download something your old version of browser app doesn't compete with new ones and your browser app becomes lagging, slows, and crashes. First, you need to update your browser app then check it. Thank you.

What browser app? Built-in browser? Or Android System WebView app?

Try disabling extensions. Go to opera://extensions and then disable all your extensions. Restart Opera and test again.
