@arkus1995 I can confirm this problem. A very strange addiction if you turn off the sound. In other browsers based on a similar version of chromium, I do not see such a problem.

Thank you so much for pinpointing this bug to audio.
When I mute a YouTube video, the cpu usage goes from 40%+ to 15%-.

Now... what I have to do?

@ab-garcez I tested, it looks like this problem is fixed in the current version of Opera Developer.

@johnd78 cool, thanks. It's something I'll have to wait. Opera just update to 65 and it's still consuming a lot of processing power when playing audio - it happens on Spotify as well.

@ab-garcez It seems like the issue is caused by animated tab icon. When you hover mouse over tab and animation stops, CPU usage goes down significantly. I found this suggestion on the other forum and it happens to be right.

@ab-garcez A long time ago, the Opera browser had the #tab-audio-Indicator flag, and it seems that the current CPU loading problem is related to the tab-audio-Indicator animation.

@no9or9 Funny, because I read this article on dobreprogramy.pl but I did not look at the comments.

The videos worked fine with "Install Chrome Extensions + h264ify" extensions for 1080p60fps. Now everything is scary lag with videos, even at 480p it suffers lag and intermittent pauses, even without those extensions. I have to use another browser to watch videos. Opera is becoming unbearable for this reason. I was not going to incorporate native h264 in version 65?

The video playback is not the issue. You should have read all thread, but here it go:
