Noticed recently that OperaGX has been running a bit slower than im used too. When i brought up the Task Manger on Windows 11 noticed that there were certain instances of the 30 or so OperaGX that are set as Efficiency Mode. I turn off Efficiency mode for those instances but it seems like i have to keep doing so. Also when looking deeper into it i noticed that there are 2 unidentified users that can make changes to OperaGX and wondering if that was correct or if i have a bigger problem. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you for your time

@W3REWOLFE All browsers run in efficiency mode on Windows 11.

@W3REWOLFE If you enable the PID column in the Windows task manager, take note of the IDs for the specific processes that are in efficiency mode, hit shift + esc in Opera and look at the descriptions for those IDs, you'll see that some of the processes aren't for anything important that you'd care about.
As for processes for tabs, they'll go in and out of efficiency mode as needed. For example, focus a tab in Opera and then open the Windows Task Manager and maximize its window. You'll see the process for that Opera tab go into efficiency mode. But, if you restore down (unmaximize) the task manager window so that some of the page in Opera is showing, it'll go out of efficiency mode.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/OperaGX/comments/1jk1u4f/how_do_i_disable_efficiency_mode_the_shortcut/ though. You used to be able to disable efficiency mode, but due to changes in Chromium, you can't anymore.
