@nvmjustagirl said in Opera stuttering and occasionally freezes while playing YouTube videos: @epop11rt3 i think ya said ya wanted to turn on a couple more in your screenshot of (Graphics Feature Status) so here is a couple.. if ya need more post which ones.. type this in opera 's address bar opera://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist and Enable - Override software rendering list Enable 'n this flag will change - Hardware Protected Video Decode: Unavailable to = Hardware accelerated.. also that same flag will change - Rasterization: Unavailable to = Hardware accelerated.. also get chrome updated And your gaphic drivers.. I am pleased to report that I am currently able to run Opera smoothly after updating the browser, and tweaking a few settings. I also have this extension called Speed Up Browsing, which seems to have made an improvement in performance. As of this current post, I currently have several tabs open in Opera (while running this other extension called Tab Suspender, which automatically suspends inactive background tabs after a set period of time) with no performance hits, even while playing YouTube videos in HD

Thanks! This "Options" link is gray and looks like a continuation of the "Terms and Conditions" text. It could be made more visible But the passwords are still there though... It's possible to bulk remove them, but still: it's not nice that such sensitive information is being imported without even asking...

@bamh1d Well, I can now report that the problem somehow seems to be resolved. That is to say, I can once again open links in Opera without having to close/re-open it. I don't understand any of this - how having an active Google tab seemingly blocked opening of other links, and how the problem apparently was fixed without any intervention from me. Anyone care to comment?

@eliotg2018 As already answered several times, you can't.

@abdulbadi You use a command line. See peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ for a list of them.

Thank you, that cleared it up. I had no idea it was on and didn't know where it was.
