Vivaldi browser suddenly freezes for 5-6 sec
-
Is there any plan for Vivaldi to implement auto tab suspension to save power, resources, and speed? It seems reasonable since Vivaldi is steering towards supporting multiple tab management which can be quite heavy after a few hours of online work. I can go days without closing Vivaldi browser and it ads up. I need to manually close down and reopen. My tabs are isolated to workspaces and restore, but not into memory thereby making browser fast again. It doesn't need to be fully featured yet; maybe just an option of time a tab is inactive before suspension. There's a lot of plugins available, but they are hit and miss with tons of side effects including loss of tabs entirely. I'd prefer Vivaldi just built in the feature as a staple maintenance feature. Or does it already do that and I missed seeing the option?

Hi and yes, the Chromium developer implement this some time ago but you cant reach the setting in Vivaldi.
Open
chrome://settings/performance
to enable it.
There is a flag to add more settings to it, Time, Heuristic and so forth.
chrome://flags/#memory-saver-multi-state-modeThese flags are always experimental, if you don't need this leave it default.
Cheers, mib

Immediately after freezing the browser, Ubuntu receives this message:

Aha, Vivaldi don't freeze, it crash.
Only the render engine crash not the whole browser, it start automatically again and this take a few seconds.
I bet this is a driver/Vivaldi/GPU issue, disable hardware acceleration in Settings > Webpages to test this.
Depends on your hardware it may slowdown video streaming, for example.
Please check if you have crash logs, it could be a lot.https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/troubleshoot/reporting-crashes-on-linux/

Unfortunately, I can't find this in Vivaldi settings, "disable hardware acceleration"
Could you explain where it can be found?
-
I often use the search field in the settings, search for "hardware" should get you there.
-
Hardware acceleration has been disabled. I will let you know how the browser works now.
-
It looks like the problem has been fixed

Hi, was it the setting to disable HW acceleration? -

I think so. Thank you for your advice!
-
My problem has been solved, so the topic is resolved
-
While solving the problem, another one appeared.
Unfortunately, YT videos sometimes slow down when hardware acceleration is turned off. When I turn on hardware acceleration, the videos play correctly. However, then the freezing effect returns...
Has ayone a idea? -
With many workspaces and tabs 160+ open, i have same timeouts happen(4..8 seconds) , you see cpu spike to 20%, with not responding, and whiteover on desktop window.
It has helped my to right cklick tab and choose "Hibernate Background tabs"

@pontisto Yes, hibernating background tab and Hibernate Inactive Workspaces (see F2 quick command) helps to get rid of low ressources and speeds up Vivaldi.

Unfortunately, hibernation of bookmarks did not help
