Vivaldi browser suddenly freezes for 5-6 sec

trade2424

Just like in the topic of the post. Vivaldi 6.4.3160.47 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS x86_64. My browser has worked flawlessly so far. Unfortunately, for some time now, the browser freezes for a few seconds while working. This most often happens at the beginning of work. Please give me some suggestion...

DoctorG

@trade2424 Freezes can happen with many extensions and open workspaces/tabs. System resources can get low, that lead to some seconds of freeze.

I didn't have a problem with this before (two years) and I used to open more tabs and everything worked. I think the reason is different...

DoctorG

@trade2424 Could be a interaction between Vivaldi and GPU driver.
Any error messages if you try in shell each of these commands and tell if that works?

vivaldi
vivaldi --disable-extensions
vivaldi --disable-gpu

It helped little bit, but now freezing occurs for one second

DoctorG

@trade2424 Ignore thewarning about arch i386.

What happens if you run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vivaldi-stable

@trade2424 said in Vivaldi browser suddenly freezes for 5-6 sec:

the browser freezes for a few seconds while working. This most often happens at the beginning of work.

After you started the browser or when?
Have you many tabs open?
Have you many workspaces?

Freezing can happen when system resources are low with many Vivaldi processes running.

trade2424

@DoctorG

After starting the browser, sometimes occurs during long-term use of the browser.
only 8 tabs open, In previous versions of Vivaldi, I had up to 25 tabs open and my work ran smoothly.
I don't have much workspaces

"Freezing may occur when system resources are low and many Vivaldi processes are running" - this problem did not happen in earlier versions

DoctorG

@trade2424 I get a short freeze for 1 second after start when f.ex. a tab with a large webapp like slack started and some other tabs.
And i saw after longterm work, sometimes longer freezes can happen.
And sometimes installed Extensions can cause this.

trade2424

Now I have:
Vivaldi 6.5.3206.39 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
I'll keep my eye open if the problem continues

DoctorG

@trade2424 If that does not help, run a reinstall of Vivaldi:

wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable_6.5.3206.39-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt purge vivaldi-stable
sudo dpkg -i vivaldi-stable_6.5.3206.39-1_amd64.deb

trade2424

Unfortunately the problem is still happening

I Will try this:

I'll let you know what happens next

trade2424

Unfortunately the vivaldi browser freezes unexpectedly again for 4-5 seconds
I think I've done everything possible. I have the latest stable version: 6.5.3206.39 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
