Just a few things you could try.

1. Clicking on "Opera Next" > "Settings" > "Delete Private Data" > "Details" and check all the boxes except the password boxes, then click on "Delete". Re-start Opera and see if the page loads right.

2. Open CCleaner and use applications tab to select the "Intrernet Cache", "Cookies" and "Sessions" boxes and run cleaner.

3. You might want to try flushing and renew your DNS cache, too. Some info here: How to fix Network & Internet connection problems in Windows

Many thanks, I did all the steps and now works great always seemed to be a corrupted cache or something

Cool my wishes will be made real, that's the about:gpu I saw before

Thursday Oct. 13th... Opera 12.00 Alpha is released.

Introducing Opera 12 alpha

The last months Opera 12 snapshots have received two major updates of its JavaScript engine, Carakan, which make it more memory efficient and fully ECMAScript 5.1 compliant. Last week the new HTML 5 parser Ragnarök was added. Today Opera 12 alpha introduces another major technological milestone: full hardware acceleration with WebGL.

Full hardware acceleration
Opera aims to give the best possible performance for all users. This is why we already have a "software accelerated" backend in Vega. However with the new hardware accelerated backend Opera will draw the whole user interface using the GPU, not just specific elements of the webpage like the canvas element. This will offload the CPU significantly and make it possible to accelerate the rendering of all webpages. On systems with outdated drivers or buggy graphics cards, Opera will fallback to the heavily optimized Vega software rendering engine.

Opera 12.00 build 1105
Windows
Mac
Linux/FreeBSD

[Derek12]

Cool, WebGL and HW acceleration work like a charm and about:gpu says uses OpenGL rendering

EDIT: In my netbook WebGL and HW acceleration don't work the Intel GMA 3150 is in the black list

The ram consumption is a bit too much for me (500MB after just a few tabs open), disabling hw acceleration rectified this.

Okay I noticed major annoying things since build 1090 :

1. they removed favicon on address bar
2. bookmarked url take a backseat and went under url history on address bar dropdown, this may seems not a big deal unless you're like me and like to call bookmarked site by typing on address bar.

those 2 things are very retarded change imo, any way to get back old opera behavior?

[Drone]

^ I'm afraid no. We'd need to wait for beta and see what changes will be there.

1. In my case alpha (sometimes) crashes when I try to close it.
2. It also crashes when I try to access my gmail and if it doesn't crash it can just fail to open it.


But it definitely is faster more stable and more responsive than pre-alfa.

Is there any ad block for youtube? Because I usually have videos going on in the background and every freeking time I watch a video i get the 3 min long adds where you have to click for them to go away. Is there a addon that will do that? Or will I have to go back to firefox if I want that.

[pigulici]

for flash I use the option: plugin on demand

Gah, I hope they come to their sense. There is no other browser that do things retardedly like this, or maybe this is their (idiotic) way to distinct themselves?

As for crash, this alpha has been rock solid for me, crash rarely, if ever, happen and I can't reproduce it.

I use this http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera.html manual installation but it's pretty easy and the how to is there.

Here doesn't crash when closing but sometimes the process remains open and I have to force kill it or Opera will refuse to open saying it is waiting to close.

Gmail opens and works fine here, but scrolling is extremely slow here and the page flickers a lot during scrolling, .

CSS animations work slowly and some CSS effects in some pages work slow and uses lots of CPU

Sometimes the extension to block Flash ads fails and they appear, making the computer slow as hell [/LIST]
Otherwise it's close to perfect

EDIT: I am using hardware rendering

[naoan]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I use software rendering, maybe that's why crash don't happen.

@Derek12
Use plugin on demand ctrl+f12 -> advanced -> content -> enable plugin on demand. pretty effective on blocking any flash.

I have none of that lol. Everything is quick and smooth

Oh and in my netbook those CSS animations are fast as well and it's using SW rendering, I will disable HW acceleration in my desktop and check, maybe is because I am using the beta 11.10 drivers lol

UPDATE: done but it's the same

Windows 7 or 8? I forgot to say that it's 8 x32 here.

Windows 7 both (64 bit in the desktop, 32 bit in the netbook), but you gave me an idea, I will test in Windows 8

Try these... you might have to adjust the settings in some...

YouTube AdsFree
CleanTube
NoAds Multilingual + German
NoAds Advanced
Ghostery

For the lazy ones who want to change settings with out having to type the "about:config" command: Opera Configurator or Opera Internal Pages

[Derek12]

I've tested in Windows 8 and it's the same, what strange Opera works faster in my netbook than in my desktop anyway it's still largely faster than the rest of browsers. It works even faster after disabling Aero so now I am using the old fashioned but fast Windows classic theme

[Drone]

Stable version of 11.52 is added to the OP.

and new build 1116
