For some reason, Opera GX is constantly reading from the file "opera_browser.dll". What's annoying is that, because of this bug (or "feature"), Opera essentially kills my HDD whenever it opens. What's even more annoying is the fact that the file it's constantly reading from is ~150 MB in size. Why not load this file into RAM instead of constantly using the hard disk? Yes, I'm sure Opera GX was built with fast SSDs in mind (where this bug wouldn't really affect anything), but still, this is a terrible design choice. Moreover, I actually don't know if this is a bug or if this is intentional. If it's a bug, can I work around it? If it's intentional, why the heck is it designed that way?

Anything helps, thanks.

You mean Opera slows your drive performance to a crawl when it's open because of the disk activity of reading opera_browser.dll?

Exactly. Also, I'm saying it's a bad design choice because that file could easily be loaded into RAM, so it could not only be accessed faster but save disk bandwidth.

I'm not having any issues with my Opera GX on Windows 11.

Probably because you're using an SSD. I'm unfortunately stuck with a mechanical hard drive, which might explain why it's so slow.

Yes, it happens even with a new profile. Sorry I took so long to reply.

I've been having a similar issue, but with the GX Corner: it reappears occasionally. Not after every update, but about once every 2 months or so. Just a small nitpick, nothing too big.

@capybruh2345678 Did you make sure to reinstall Roblox afterward? if you don't get the option to reinstall, go to roblox.com/download/client and use the downloaded file to reinstall Roblox. Once you've done that, try to launch a game.

If it still doesn't work, you might have accidentally disallowed Roblox from launching from URLs. I'm not sure how you'd fix this, but there might be some option in the browser to manage default programs that I'm not aware of. If anyone else knows how to do this, let me know.

Right now, your best bet is to reset all browser settings to their defaults, which will remove any custom theme or pinned tabs you have open, but will NOT delete login details, bookmarks, history, or other saved user data. It will delete cookies, though, so you might be logged out of some sites.
If you're sure you want to try this, go to opera://settings/resetProfileSettings and make sure to uncheck "Help improve Opera" (that option sends your browsing data to Opera), then click on "Reset".

tl;dr: reset your browser settings; go to opera://settings/resetProfileSettings and click "Reset" to reset browser settings.

If, by some chance, none of this works, you might want to use a different browser altogether (Firefox is a good choice).

@capybruh2345678 Dude, this thread is a year old...
Anyway, try reinstalling Roblox. Go to Start > Settings (looks like a cogwheel) > Apps, then search for "Roblox". Uninstall all Roblox-related apps and go back to roblox.com and try to launch a game. It should give you the option to download Roblox.

@Whoismady

Does it load in another browser, like Firefox or Chrome? If it does, try starting with a new profile.

@binarytimelord have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? Also, what error do you get when trying to access the Roblox site?
