<![CDATA[Quickly becoming sluggish after one or two days]]>Hi.
By using a Mac I barely shutdown my computer, I usually do that once or twice a week (which is still much, but I use crap software and sometimes I need it).

Even if I don't rank it as crap Opera is one of the software which requires a more frequent than I'd expect restart: after 24 or 48h at most I need to do that. I even upgraded yesterday to version 49 but nothing changed.

After some time running (I always have ~15 open tabs at least) the UI becomes sluggish and slow, like taking 3 seconds to open a new tab! Or when I click on a tab with the mouse it considers it as a drag and takes the tab out of the window (this happens quite often!).

Anyone else? Any advice on how to speed up? I should stop having so many open tabs?

thanks

P.S. forgot to say that when I reboot the computer Opera is quite fast, even with all the 15 tabs open

If you do it, use the V7 extensions manager an export the list of all your extensions.

Sadly it's starting to be a game stopper for me 😞

Well, as asked in your Topic:

Do you use the VPN?

It may start at 3 or 4GB (with re-opened windows), but then will end up as high as 9.5 GIGS of RAM being used!
I don't know if there's a memory leak somewhere or what, but while other browsers can get RAM-hungry, too, none do it quite as quickly as Opera.

Plus, most of the time it won't open, and I have to force-quit, then try it again. and the same with trying to quit Opera, it'll just sit there, until I force-quit it....
