      'Delay Loading of Background Tabs' is not working anymore..

      I have always used this feature, but it stopped working for the past two days..

      After I open opera all tabs start loading, previously it was only the active tab that loaded.

      "Continue where I left off" & "Delay loading of background tabs" both options are checked.

      I am using Opera Developer 41.0.2340.0 on Win 7

          I don't get it! It says background tabs are loaded with decreased priority under faster startup.

          Previously it was no tabs gets loaded until clicked.
          Now, loading tab with decreased priority.

          How is this going to help 'faster startup'?

            I guess that on both cases the pages will not start loading exactly when Opera is starting.

            Anyway, for now I guess you can disable opera://flags/#extended-lazy-session-loading to get the old behavior. Just remember that flags are experiments and that they can end at any point.

              Thanks for the trick.

              If it's same on both cases then why make a change that uses more resource?

              This old behavior is much better than loading all tabs gradually.

              The introduction to 'Delay loading background tabs' in Opera was really awesome. It made Opera quite distinguishable from other chromium browsers.

              I seriously don't understand how loading all tabs gradually is going to help with the performance.

                By default all opened tabs would start loading at the same time during the start up process and it would make Opera to have a slow start.

                Loading the tabs gradually should prevent it to happen.
