I have issues with playing YouTube videos. After playing any video for longer than 15 minutes or so, my browser begins to freeze. Videos shorter than this length do not have this effect. I notice that my Opera GX Browser begins to freeze by first slowing down and have a delayed response to my input (roughly 10 seconds). For some occasions, this gives me enough time to delete the tab, temporarily fixing the issue. If I do not close the tab and let the video play, the audio will continue for a few more minutes until eventually the entire browser loses functionality and freezes, completely unresponsive. This makes it impossible to listen to music in the background. I have already tried disabling hardware acceleration, and disabling extensions.
