      Each 10 minutes i need to close Opera and restart it because it stops responding. After a few times i do it i experience freezes and lags during browsing. I don't use any extensions, my add blocker is off. Today i have completely deleted Opera and downloaded it using terminal, so my profile is fresh.

      No answers i found on the Ubuntu and Opera forums helped me. I don't understand what is the problem.

      My PC is Acer Aspire-A715-75G
      8GB Operating Memory
      Processor Intel® Core™ i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz × 8

      my free -h showing the following:

      total used free shared buff/cache available
      Mem: 7,6Gi 1,9Gi 4,4Gi 156Mi 1,3Gi 5,3Gi
      Swap: 2,0Gi 906Mi 1,1Gi

      And is not changing while Opera not responding

      I am not experiencing any issues with running any application including games on my PC. The browsing in Chrome and Mozilla is smooth

        @technopriest My experience was sluggish with freezes too, but switching off the "use hardware acceleration when available" did the trick for me.

          Here is how why opera processes looks like. In total they use around 40% of my CPU, is it ok?

              @technopriest I honestly can not say if the figures look good or not. That said, it looks like you are running the snap package version, I only use the version available to download or in the repo's (I run Manjaro XFCE). Maybe worth trying switching from the snap version if still not happy?

              Just to add, your system specs are much better than my 11 year old PC, and Opera runs great since I disabled the hardware acceleration, but also not a snap version.

                @tssb Thats a great tip, i will definitely try to switch on that version if turning off acceleration wont work. Thank you

                  @tssb Your suggestion is working great, now i don't experience any laggs within a few hours of starting the work with Opera. However, it still opening for a while (10-15 seconds) and sometimes lag, but those lags are 1/10 comparing with 10/10 which have been previously.

                  So the tip switching off the "use hardware acceleration when available" worked amazingly, but still haven't eliminated the issue completely.

                  Thank you!

                    @technopriest Happy to be of help. There may be other optimisations I am just not aware of, but generally turning off everything you do not need in the settings should help.

                    This is an old article (2019 last update) but the general advice is still valid, just switch off what you do not need: How to speed up the Opera web browser
