Hello,

I've noticed that the Opera app on Android stutters quite a lot when scrolling, at least on a phone with a 120Hz screen (I use a Galaxy S21).

I've done some research and I've found out that Chromium browsers generally don't play nice with 120Hz screens, but that this can be fixed by disabling the "Android SurfaceControl" flag. I tested this with the Chrome browser and it indeed worked. However, with Opera (which is my preferred browser), we cannot access this flag. Would it therefore be possible to either (i) simply fix this issue, or (ii) give us access to this flag so that we can disable it?

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

@miyukiwork Thanks for the follow-up! I just briefly tested the beta version, switching between surfacecontrol enabled and disabled, but I unfortunately don't seem to notice any difference I must say.

Hello,

Thank you for responding. The issue happens on pretty much every webpage (not the Opera UI). It certainly happens for example on https://www.thurrott.com/# and on https://www.androidcentral.com/blog. It occurs every time I scroll on these pages (and is particularly obvious with a "real" scroll, i.e when you swipe with your finger and then lift your finger).

I hope you will be able to fix this very soon.
