<![CDATA[Opera GX keeps freezing]]>Since the new update I'm having the issue that Opera GX keeps freezing when trying to load YouTube videos or Twitch streams. It doesn't unfreeze no matter how long I wait. Nothing responds. I have to manually close the browser with Task Manager.
Everything else seems to work, just the video websites seem like causing the issue

Hardware acceleration can sometimes cause problems, specifically with video playback, so disabling it is a good thing to try when the rest of the browser works normally.

I’d try disabling hardware acceleration first, since the freezing only happens on video sites. Also test without extensions or in a private window to see if something is interfering with YouTube/Twitch.
