      I've been using Opera for over a decade now and it's worked just fine; I updated Opera, and it crashes spectacularly now. It wouldn't load up the start page properly and it's struggling to let me type this. I updated my Java, and that didn't work so, I uninstalled Opera and reinstalled it; that was a mistake. Now, sometimes it takes 15 minutes to open Google homepage. It will take a long time, freeze up my entire, and I mean my entire, computer and then ask me things like to free up my color scheme to basic; it will flash on and off, showing my desktop at times. Nothing beats it's ad-blocker and when I watch Youtube, I've got about a minute before the video turns to garbage and it just spins, which, also occurs on my other browsers. I've got full-bars on my internet. So what's wrong here?

      Windows 7 Ultimate, 4.00 GB of Ram, 1.83Ghz processor,

        First, does a test standalone installation run fine?

        If not, in that standalone installation, mess with the Angle flag to see if you can get that Opera to be more stable.

          @burnout426 The primary problem is that I'm using 100% of the CPU when I use Opera sometimes, at least when it's, "Not Responding". I've got 1.83Ghz processor and 4 Gigs of Ram. Internet browsers shouldn't be using up ALL of my processing-power; I'm going to try a system-restore and I'm never updating anything ever again.

          And it's not just Opera, but Chrome and Firefox as well. So, it's probably Java or a Window's Update.

            @reesle 4GB ofnRAM may be kinda low nowadays as well as a 1.8Ghz processor. How many cores does it have?

            It's been a while that browsers don't use or support Java.
