<![CDATA[Opera 49 on Debian Testing x64 significantly slower, often crashes]]>I have been a Debian and Opera user for quite some time now and have never had any problems, but ever since upgrading to the latest Opera stable release browsing has become much slower, especially on sites like Facebook and Gmail. General crushes are pretty often too. Does anyone else have this problem? It's making it almost unusable for me and I really don't want to switch to another browser.

  • Dragging tabs from the windows works reasonably fast
  • I just opened a Youtube link i a new window and it started playing even though the window hadn't been drawn

On the affected set-up I have hardware acceleration disabled (because of the displaylink driver) maybe thats an issue.

It's the feeling I had since with me it only seemed to happen after some time of usage.

That having said. Does anyone of you also have the Adobe Flash plugin installed? I had until yesterday morning, and ever since that moment I haven't experienced any problems with Opera anymore. And I have used it frequently since. I noticed that apart from the Opera update I also recently installed a Flash update so I wonder if that could possibly be the cause for my Opera troubles.

It's mostly usable, but opening a new window freezes the system for a few minutes.

• VPN enabled but not active
• Adblocker active
• Extensions: MyJDownloader, AdGuard, GnomeShell, Last.Fm

I don't think it's a memory leak, because it doesn't matter how long Opera has been opened.

It is even capable of freezing my entire computer if I don't close it every once in a while. Very inconvenient. I'm running Opera 49 on Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit. I haven't attempted to profile anything, but it feels like we have ourselves a significant memory leak.

Disabling the adblock had no effect. Thanks for your input though.

  • opera is launched with these parameters
    opera --start-maximized --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/cache
  • extensions used
    ublock origin, extension source viewer and autoscroll (from chrome's web store)
  • built-in vpn and adblock disabled
    Feel free to sak for more if you want.
