      Hi everyone, if your Opera is extremely slow, disable "Use hardware acceleration when available"

      I don't know what the developers did, but HA makes Opera unusable (Opera Stable, Opera GX)

        @celadyn This seems to make things far more stable, some cpu spiking when loading pages but this is far better than what it was. Thanks!

              I fixed my shopping comparison bar, it was in Avira browser safety settings.

                My 67.0.3575.137 is telling that there is a security update, so I checked 68.0.3618.165

                New window is opened almost instantly if speed dial is hidden and takes about 10 seconds when speed dial is shown. CPU usage is almost 100% while opening new window. 67.0.3575.137 is working fast with the same amount of windows and speed dial bookmarks.

                Opera 67 CPU usage on opening new window:

                Opera 68 CPU usage on opening new window:

                @avl is there any chance some Opera developer set eyes on this issue?

                      In 68.0.3618.173 problem persists.
                      I have open about 220 tabs in 16 windows and more than 60 items in Speed Dial.

                      During typing text into Speed Dial's search box, opera froze for about 30-60 seconds. (so I rather using address bar for google searching instead)

                      It did not happen in 67 and older versions.

                        In 70.0.3728.71 it seems to be solved.
