@burnout426 is there a better way to communicate, this opera forum keeps taking way to long with the post queues. I respond within 30 mins but then its taking well above 2 hours (as of now) to just go through even though its a couple of words and an emoji

@burnout426 ok so I figured out that my actual extensions are in the folder "default" in the Opera stable folder. I deleted those and now Opera opens up fine and works but there is one problem and that is whenever I click on something clickable for example, a new tab or the extensions button or the settings cog, it lags for a couple seconds and I'm now stuck with that.

I've tried like the flags with GPU rasterization and graphics backend and stuff with no results any knowledge would be appreciated.

@burnout426 Ya ok I did that and it seems to be fine with all the same extensions and such, that'll have to do I guess, very weird thing to have happened. Thank you very much for all your help

@ShadowMine The extensions are in the roaming folder in appdata at least for my OperaGX in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\Extensions. Thats where my extensions are listed.

@burnout426 ya I renamed the regular Opera folder and ya im pretty sure it was closed but I already just uninstalled opera (with user settings) and just started fresh with my bookmarked tabs and passwords and stuff and its working fine again (I haven't signed in yet) so we'll see how long that lasts I guess

@JFD62780 unfortunately I do not

@leocg ya I completely forgot how it got there if I enabled it some how or it just came with scrollable tabstrip somehow

@leocg no no like there is scrollable tabstrip which allows the scrolling of tabs when there are too many and then there is a horizontal scroll bar like the vertical ones on webpages (I provided example image below) you can see the horizontal scroll bar for the tabs on the most top part

@leocg that makes sense and I wish I could use the regular opera but its stuck in an endless cycle of me opening it and it freezing after a couple a seconds that I tried to fix with the help of the people on the forum but nothing worked.

Do you happen to know how to activate the tab scroller on the top of the tabs? I did it a long time ago I think on the opera browser but I dont know what its called or where it is to re-enable it.

@leocg but wasnt this working perfectly fine not too long ago? Because I used gx a bit ago but then switched to regular opera but now its not even working for me so I would like to switch to gx but since the scrollable tabstrip isnt working its just not possible.

Its just weird cuz so many people online just say they enabled it and stuff and it just works (like it should and how it does in regular opera) so I was just wondering if thats like a normal thing.

I'm using Opera GX and have enabled #scrollable-tab-strip in the flags and I restart it and then go into the browser settings and look for the "Enable tab scrolling when many tabs are open" option and go to enable it but it immediately crashes the browser and restarts but the setting doesnt retain and its an endless loop.

Any help would be appreciated.

@burnout426 wait I dont know what I did wrong I renamed it to the old thing and it recreated the folder but when I launch opera again it loads up everything like how it was (including the freezing part) but when I renamed it last time it started fresh?

@burnout426 yeah ok I will try this later tonight when I'm home if it's not the fix I will cry and just scrap opera

@burnout426 I do remember doing that earlier, I changed the name to Opera old and then started fresh which then worked so I thought it was good and that was the problem but then it stopped working all of a sudden.

So now I was thinking the whole thing is corrupted or I gotta restart fresh (the folder renaming) but then not sign in my account because maybe it's messed up or something ya know?
