Opera has become unusable on my windows 11 computer.
One Youtube and one Facebook tab and Opera uses 70% of my CPU (i5-1135G7).

@Jesseab What process the internal task manager (menu - developer - task manager or Shift Escape) says that is using that much CPU?

@leocg I have a similar problem, however for me it's my laptop's memory not CPU and I checked the browser and GPU is using the most with the figure being for browser 260,000 and for GPU process 380,000

@Abd5538 Then you should have opened a new topic to discuss the issue.

Anyway, that amount is kinda normal.

@Jesseab Opera using 70% CPU with just YouTube and Facebook open may be due to hardware acceleration, heavy extensions, or built-in features like VPN or crypto wallet. Try these quick fixes, I hope this will solve the problem.

Turn off hardware acceleration in Opera settings.
Disable unnecessary extensions at opera://extensions/.
