Sorry for writing for a second topic, but this was my main issue that I was here for. As I explained in my previous post, I had to write this from Chrome because of a log in issue.
I'm on :
Version:74.0.3911.203
System:macOS Version 10.14.6 (Build 18G103) 10.14.6 64-bit
I've disabled every ad blocker and extension.
And only 2-3 tabs are open on my Opera; the forums tab, the extensions tab and the about tab.
Despite this my fans has been running loud non stop for hours.
I can normally work on multiple Opera windows and tens (sometimes over a hundred, close to 200) tabs for my work. I normally use extensions like The Great Suspender and Session Buddy to take off the load off, but I've disabled everything now. I've worked this way with Opera for many years without any problems.
And yet, for the past few days, my fans have been going up non stop even at the smallest of actions.
I looked at the Task Manager, the browser in total was taking up about to 1~ GB and it was normal for me. All the tabs seemed idle or taking up really small space (I don't know if I'm wording this right, this is not my main language)
Anyway, since the fans didn't stop no matter what I did, and the macbook started overheating, I cleared every tab, removed as many extensions as I could one by one (I only had 4-5 active ones anyway), disabled the ad blockers and the fans still didn't stop.
Then I restarted the browser, which didn't make a difference. Having 1 tab was no different than having many.
After close to an hour, there finally seemed to be some calm, and this time I shut down the wi-fi and restarted the browser this way. This time, even though there was no connection, the fans still went up really loud for about half an hour.
This never happened with Opera before. I don't exactly remember if there had been an update recently, but if it did could it be related?
