@ab-garcez It seems like the issue is caused by animated tab icon. When you hover mouse over tab and animation stops, CPU usage goes down significantly. I found this suggestion on the other forum and it happens to be right.

Same here. Happens on some other websites after update to 52.

Let me just say that Opera suddenly started to shove Speed Dial bookmarks into search which didn't happen before. And it is just annoying just because of that fact and also because the way it is implemented. Please let us turn this off.

General Opera performance is very poor for some time. It is most apparent when it comes to watching video on Youtube. It consumes 2-3 times more CPU time than Firefox. But all other actions taken in Opera, loading pages etc are annoingly sluggish.

65.0.3467.38 update didn't solve the issue at all.

@zalex108 No. Link.

The delay between opening new tab and clearing it's address bar by the browser is long enough to let user enter URL or click on Speed Dial. When you manage to do so Opera terminates loading page. This is very apparent on slower computers but not only there.

And it is back again.

@leocg I recorder the video on clean profile in Opera with no extensions. The only change sin settings: dark skin and default search engine to DuckDuckGo (not sure if this is may be a factor). Then I press ctrl+T to open new tabs and enter random characters with quick press enter afterwards.

Most of the time it catches just fine, but the issue you can observe at the very begining of the video, when 'qwe' sequence was on the input, and around 28 second when 'ik' characters disappear.

I suspect the problem arises when history and autocompletion database grows up. But there is definitely something undergoing.

@treego For me it seems to improve on 'Tab Icon/CPU' problem. It is not perfect yet but better than couple of recent versions.

You mean the Blog?

Nope. In the non-English part of the Internet.
