<![CDATA[Opera takes 40-45 seconds to open with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS]]>Just installed Ubuntu 20.04LTS. Added a few programs and such and Opera Version:83.0.4254.27
Opera is up to date.

Boot up 20.04 and when first opening Opera it is very slow to open, taking 40-45 seconds! Once it opens Opera runs fine. When I close it and relaunch, Opera opens in a couple seconds with no problems.

Question is why does it take so long to launch on first launch when powering up?

Although nowadays, it's not the startup that bothers me. It's the window resize - that's super slow. It's like slow motion, that's when I go make a cup of tea.

Also, they have not yet fixed the window minimize which doesn't work. You have to click the system tray to minimize it.

Strange that up to date Opera takes 40-45 seconds to launch with Ubuntu 20.04 on a new SSD just installed!

Is there some way to speed up this Opera launch?

Since you have SSD you shouldn't being having this sort of problem.

There's something in the initializing process that's holding up Opera. At this point I would have no idea what that is.

Opera takes 40-45 seconds to open after launching it first after booting up PC!
Then if I close Opera and relaunch, Opera will open again in about 5 seconds.

My PC system has all SSDs and 8 GB of RAM.

I have an HDD with 4 GB RAM.

These browsers are getting bloated I guess; an SSD and more RAM will only fix it probably.
