@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.

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.

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.

@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.

I confirm that. It is present for a few months at least and freezes the browser for 5 to 10 seconds. Including flash videos. Disabling extensions doesn't help.
