I think opera should pay more attention to linux world because the performance in there is way behind the windows version. I use it daily in the windows 10, its snappy and does not consume a lot of resources, on the other hand in linux, any kind of distro I tried its not snappy and when it comes to RAM usage it is taking more than 1GB for 3 tabs which is crazy, therefore I have to switch to something else in pop os!

@rajmondburgaj, I use Opera in Linux every day, and I don't have performance problems. That's probably because I use Tab Suspender, which unloads unused tabs and reduces memory usage.

And Yes. 201 tab on mobile - does not sync with PC!
Only 70 pieces are displayed on the PC! -

@rajmondburgaj: chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding
Copy and paste to the browser bar!
Click and then enable this item by clicking on the "Default" button. Change to"Enabled".
All.After 5 minutes, all background tabs will be unloaded. Except for background movies, YouTube or social media. networks!

Hi @leocg, I've noticed another issue with Opera turning on from sleep mode, it takes extremely long to load pages. I can assure you it's not my internet, it's been happening for a week straight now after booting up from sleep mode.

Yeah, that´s great, but.....
- will ever be fixed not working sync between Opera Mini / Opera for Android and Opera for Windows??? It´s been year´s and nothing changed.... I want to share my bookmarks between devices and I can´t. Every browser is able to do it, except opera
- Will ever be available Opera for Sailfish OS? I want it to use it as default browser, but almost every user of Sailfish OS doesn´t want to use android app with doubtful performance, when Sailfish OS is Linux. So, dear Opera, can you make Opera available for Sailfish OS?

No such option exists here on the latest Opera Stable on Windows 7.

@icetom87 @artexjay This is a very old misunderstanding on statistics that appears time and time again in discussions about Opera. Please, pay close attention to the explanation.
Yes Opera's market share may look stale or even at a decline, but this can happen while the number of users go up. How? The total population from which the stats are measured increases. Every time a new Android phone is sold that's a new "Chrome user by default" and every time an iPhone is sold there's a new obligatory Safari user. It happens while new parts of the world population buys/switches to their first smartphone or their first device capable of surfing the web even! (Don't forget developing countries where there are people that can't even access the web.)
It doesn't take users away from Opera directly, most of the time it's a new web user browsing on the default browser of their device and they don't know better or don't care. And hey Opera tried, they have partnerships to have the Opera browser pre-installed in some phones, but Google and Apple are at an position where it's basically impossible to compete, just look at Mozilla Firefox presence on mobiles and how Google smashed them in desktop after promoting Chrome everywhere where they used to promote Firefox.

@leocg But the browser is under the same company of the loan apps. They are using the money they get from Opera browser to finance those abusive loan apps! They disrespected Google's terms on purpose and they are charging poor people 300%+ annual interest rate on purpose!! For me this is the end, I won't use/support Opera browser knowing that they'll get the money for having me as a user and act as a loan shark in the lives of poor people of less developed countries.

@rafaelluik But you have to agree shady practices of any sort for a reputable company is damaging and should be criticized to the fullest.
