Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
Some time after the update to 67, I can confirm that my issues are completely resolved. This is my low power (Pentium - 4Gb RAM) browsing laptop, and not only is it not freezing, but responsiveness is distinctly better. Better than Firefox on the same machine, and feeling positively 'snappy'.
@pindos If page content is causing a problem, I think maybe it is time to consider your local resources. Lagging processor, insufficient memory, cache waiting for disk to catch up, that sort of thing?
@Northnet I believe this is a eureka moment! Ran the update to 67.0.3575.31 and... no more lockups. At least, not in the 5 minutes since opening Opera after the update.
@Northnet Ahh! I have an Opera update waiting. 67.0.3575.31. I will update now and see what happens...
@robomike Weird, but true! The lock-ups still occur, but less frequently, and probably shorter too. I wonder if any of the Opera techies are reading this thread, or are we wasting our time?
@thomas-rager I agree that Opera is not useable in its current state. I have reverted to Firefox, again, which is a shame because the inbuilt Opera VPN service is brilliant.
I'm having the same issue. I have disabled HA, which does seem to help a little but not cure the issue. In fact this is the second time I have tried to switch my browser to Opera, the same issue forced me over to Firefox for the past year or so. Hard to believe both the video player issue and these lock-ups are still a problem! The 'easy setup' trick is handy to know, but not very convenient when using a trackpad.
