@koheleth said in Opera Loads Pages Only Every Second Time:

Uninstall with Ccleaner or something , run the registry cleaner in Ccleaner, reboot and reinstall, all should be fine.

Please, do not recommend CCleaner - I have seen numerous systems rendered unusable with it.

About OP problem - have you turned VPN on? Are you using some kind of proxy? Described behavior indicates that some of requests time out - can happen with VPN or other proxy.
Or, some third party safety suite doesn't know Opera and blocks some requests.
Or, you have installed some buggy extension - try private window, most extensions should not affect that.

@huffman said in how to open new window in Opera:

I would hope there would be something in settings. If there is I have NOT found it.

I don´t really understand what you are actually asking for. I have never used any web browser that closes the current window/tab when i click on a mail adress and open a new browser window/tab.

OP is asking how to open new tab/window (not replace current active tab), when some link/url is launched outside of Opera?

This all is a bit hard to understand, but looks like you are accessing your local sites by IP? You could create entry in hosts file, associating your IP with some DNS name (better would be use DNS itself - routers should be able to assign some name for itself and other devices) and access your sites by this name and configure Opera for this name. If your IP changes, you only have to reassociate it in hosts file (or in DNS service).

@burnout426
Good idea. Edited that and waiting for next update.

Like some other people, I also never enable/install desktop shortcuts and from some time ago Opera started putting it on my (or rather all users) desktop - I consider that a bug.

Update: Opera updated, icon is back, again on all users desktop. F-word here. I need to find another solution.

@juwwikins
Can it be some extension, (erroneously) trying to inform you about something?

Have you installed some third party security suite (or malware), which may intercept your https traffic? Otherwise Opera does TLS 1.2 well.

Looks like you have some kind of cookies disabled or similar - for me those sites, which can remember me (eg google) do automatically login me as well.

@pinopir
Well, maybe you even don't need developer mode. I packed it: www.stv.ee/~donq/o12tabs.crx

@pinopir
I have created such extension for personal use, it additionally places new tab at the right (I hate other ways :)). It is usable only in developer mode, this is switchable on extensions page. Interested?

I can see at least two possible causes:

1. some problem with video drivers - disable hardware acceleration in Opera
2. some problem with third party antivirus or security suite, which doesn't know Opera and monitors its network traffic or disk access - add Opera to its exclusions

How about Chrome browser - does it cause excessive CPU usage?

@uuniversal
Weird. I can't use your test server porperly (it is located on the other side of globe, gives me different numbers between 20 and 50 Mb/s), but using more local tests and servers I can max out my connection speed (60/60) easily.

Have you perhaps installed some third-party network or security software, which may not know Opera to allow some exclusions for
it?

@panosv

1. Haven't you accidentally turned VPN on?
2. Do you have any 3rd-party antivirus or security suite running?

Cannot agree more.

I personally would also like to have option to hide "Start page" and "Snapshot" icons/buttons (and maybe even make validated certificate issuer name shorter, tooltip could be used) - I'd rather see full url than some never used buttons.

And no, I don't want to buy wider monitor

@somethingcube
Looked at FB source - Facebook uses by default Helvetica font (css font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif).
If one has no Helvetica installed, then fine - any browser uses Arial or if this is also not present (non-windows OSes), tha default sans serif font.
If one has only Helvetica Bold installed, then browsers use Helvetica font for bolder elements, but are lost for normal-weight elements. Most likely Opera (and probably Chrome etc) attempts to use Helvetica again, but because normal weight of it is not installed, then renderer uses only available bold variant.

TL;DR
Install Helvetica Normal and you are done

PS. It is named Helvetica, not Helvitica.

@somethingcube
Just install Helvitica (Helvetica?) normal (and other variations). Likely those sites use Helvetica as their default typeface; without normal weight installed they may default to bold one.

@Salvuccino
Well, I had not looked at changelog - looks like my assumption was incorrect, sorry.
But then yes, I too agree that Opera should release beta (and dev) version, matching stable (and beta) one. I'm on dev channel and actually don't care so much - but current scheme is not logical.

It is possible that latest pre-stable beta and stable share exactly same code, although stable has greater version number. IIRC one of Opera developers told that few years ago

@Bankshot said in Memory Use:

As I open more tabs, more entries appear in task manager and memory use continues to grow until, finally, everything- including pointer movement slows or stops.

This sounds like two separate problems.

First, every tab is separate process and opening additional tabs does increase memory usage, this is same in all chromium based browsers. For me, 20-40 tabs have no effect in system performance however.

Second, slowing or stopping everything during this process may not related to memory usage at all - such behavior is more like related to some conflict between Opera and Windows graphic drivers (or other hardware). I have read of such problems with video-heavy sites; sometimes windows graphic drivers upgrade has helped, sometimes disabling hardware acceleration has helped - but there seems no universal cure exists.

Why closing tabs doesn't improve situation - again no answer, but I would think that some component outside of Opera control doesn't release resources. Besides graphic subsystem problems - are you using some third-party antivirus suite? Sometimes they do not like Opera cache for example.

Plays here (Opera dev 61.0.3275.0). Do you have any [content blocking] extensions installed? Opera native adblock doesn't block these videos.
