In the last few days Opera has become unuseable with pages failing to render/hanging or taking far too long.

Any ideas where to start looking would be gratefully received.
Thank you

Disabling everything didn't do it so I uninstalled/reinstalled. Definitely functioning better, possibly properly!

I copied the whole opera directory - which of the subfolders do I NOT want to copy back (potential troublemakers)?

Thank you for your time.

what are flags?

Experimental features, but they can be unstable an cause problems. As you don't now what they are, you probably haven't touched them and thereby you won't need to reset them.

do I just copy yje bookmarks folder to somewhere safe, then reinstate it?

If you use sync you shouldn't need to to that, but you can do it just to be on the safe side. Copy this file: ~/.config/opera/Bookmarks to another location, and later restore it if needed.

Two points: what are flags? and I'd like to keep my bookmarks, do I just copy yje bookmarks folder to somewhere safe, then reinstate it?
Thanks

If you do not, there's obviously something with Opera stable.

Go trough every step, one by one, restart Opera, and see if the problem disappears:

  • Reset all flags in opera://flags
  • Disable/Uninstall all extensions
  • Clear browsing data: opera://settings/clearBrowserData

If nothing happens, you can try to close Opera, delete the "~/.config/opera" directory, then remove opera (sudo apt-get remove opera-stable), and then install opera again.

I'm writing this on Chromium as Opera not functioning
