Not just you. Happening to me and several of my clients that use Opera.
Last straw for me, between this and the Cashback crap they recently snuck onto our systems I am moving on. Very disappointed since I really like Opera, but my browser is "mission critical" and I can't have this kind of stuff always happening. Good luck.

It just happened a minute ago, I closed Opera but all the processes remained, especially the one that was eating like 6 GB of RAM. I tried to kill it, it wouldn't let me, and seconds later finally most of the processes disappeared, except the 25% one I created this post for.
Here's a screenshot of what happens:
The first time was when after closing the processes remained, the second one fortunately Opera closed more quickly.

Same here. After startup opera maximizes single core usage, and after few minutes it drops to normal.

avmon last edited bySomething similar is happening to me since this afternoon . And now, when I reopen Opera, Speed Dial is empty. I also try to save the bookmarks but I touch save and they are not saved.
All very strange because web browsing is working.Opera 74.0.3911.203 in Windows 7 x64

All of a sudden, after a couple of years of use, Opera has started hogging CPU for no apparent reason. In the task manager, no tab is misbehaving, 3% is the highest one, but the browser CPU remains over 100% consistently, as soon as I start it up. I have disabled all extensions, toggled hardware acceleration and tried other fixes I found here, but they don't work for me. Any ideas? This renders the browser unusable.

I have same problem after today update . My cpu spikes for couple seconds without any reason only when i watch streams

emniss last edited byThe high CPU load is caused by Opera itself according to the Opera task manager (Shift + ESC). Every now and then the CPU load rises up to abnormal height for several minutes and drops back to normal after it and rises again after a while and so on. I first recognized it today because my CPU fan turned on.

@ynhockey Did any of the suggestions by @burnout426 help? Opera is crashing daily now, causing my computer to slow down to a standstill until I end it using Task Manager. At that point, it is using 98% of my computer's memory.

@vilnai Yep, I see that too, they changed something today and Opera is currently useless. More reports here https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/m1gck6/am_i_the_only_one_whose_speed_dial_just_doesnt/

Speed dial doesn't load sometimes. And most importantly, when I close the browser, a "Opera Internet Browser" process remains active and takes up a % of CPU.

Sorry for writing for a second topic, but this was my main issue that I was here for. As I explained in my previous post, I had to write this from Chrome because of a log in issue.
I'm on :
Version:74.0.3911.203
System:macOS Version 10.14.6 (Build 18G103) 10.14.6 64-bitI've disabled every ad blocker and extension.
And only 2-3 tabs are open on my Opera; the forums tab, the extensions tab and the about tab.
Despite this my fans has been running loud non stop for hours.
I can normally work on multiple Opera windows and tens (sometimes over a hundred, close to 200) tabs for my work. I normally use extensions like The Great Suspender and Session Buddy to take off the load off, but I've disabled everything now. I've worked this way with Opera for many years without any problems.
And yet, for the past few days, my fans have been going up non stop even at the smallest of actions.
I looked at the Task Manager, the browser in total was taking up about to 1~ GB and it was normal for me. All the tabs seemed idle or taking up really small space (I don't know if I'm wording this right, this is not my main language)
Anyway, since the fans didn't stop no matter what I did, and the macbook started overheating, I cleared every tab, removed as many extensions as I could one by one (I only had 4-5 active ones anyway), disabled the ad blockers and the fans still didn't stop.
Then I restarted the browser, which didn't make a difference. Having 1 tab was no different than having many.
After close to an hour, there finally seemed to be some calm, and this time I shut down the wi-fi and restarted the browser this way. This time, even though there was no connection, the fans still went up really loud for about half an hour.
This never happened with Opera before. I don't exactly remember if there had been an update recently, but if it did could it be related?

Hello everyone. Updated Opera And noticed that the laptop began to use forced cooling often. Opera 74.0.3911.203, Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (x86_64; ubuntu: GNOME) ... htop shows that opera is loading core sometimes multiple CPU cores (ryzen 5 4600u) by 100% ... while several non-"heavy" tabs were opened ... static pages/

@alexdmake Probably related to the same issue everyone else is having (Windows, Mac and Linux) today with speed dial not showing and high CPU load. Since it only happens at startup and is platform-independent, it has to be something with Opera's servers - my guess is something with Sync.
