      Ok people, it seems that after the update that was released today, the issue that the browser takes time to close when you close it, is fixed. For me at least. So you might wanna check it out with the latest update.

        Ever since about last week, my Opera GX browser has been acting extremely slowly. I've never had this problem with any other app other then this browser and it has now gotten to the point where I need to close Opera to conserve CPU and boost performance in other apps as it causes my PC to lag and CPU to rocket in temperature even in idle. I don't normally have too many tabs open, but whether or not I have 3 or 10 tabs open, it always lags the same way. Closing tabs takes sometimes 3 seconds and sometimes even freezes my entire screen and sends my PC a loud beeping noise. Every other app including other browsers like Google Chrome don't act this way and I have literally 0 extensions running or even installed on Opera GX, so i'm wondering why the browser is behaving this way now.

        My PC specs:
        Ryzen 5 3600X
        RTX 2060
        16GB RAM

        I don't think my specs are that bad to have performance this terrible, and at the same time this never happened before until a little before last week, and I had barely done anything to my PC or touched it either.

            @killmizi Check in the internal task manager what is using so much CPU.

            Do you see the same issue in regular Opera?

              @killmizi the problem is not your specs, but try checking your hard drive, if you have a cheap hard drive then that could be a big problem with why, i had a cheap hard drive and thus my lap top was extremely slow, try and get a digital hard drive, you're pc will be much faster

                            @medulla Usually the problem is the limiters, try to disable all limiters or reduce them

                              What you mean with "limiters"?
                              The Problem still exits.
                              I am on Ihre Version:LVL 2 (core: 72.0.3815.487)

                                @medulla he means like opera GX has a GX control that controls how much memory and CPU space it takes.

                                  Thank you for explanation.
                                  Right from the start, since I've been using opera gx, the limiters have been deactivated.

                                            What about the GX browser ??? Suddenly it started to work slow in all kinds of search and navigation. For weeks now with the problem, I uninstall it and reinstall it and it fixes but after a while it gets slow again and the browser sticks ...... Any Solution !!!
