V 6.6 | Slow Performance Since Upgrade?

That there is a possible issue with memory management seems likely, based on what I have seen during shutdowns. But whether that is caused by something in Vivaldi's UI, or something more fundamental in the Chromium V8 engine (which handles the memory management) is something that is not possible to say at this time.
So did you guys tweak certain stuff related to memory management? Some people now believe that the problem has been fixed. Also thanks for the upcoming fix for the bookmark nicknames.
I hope you can also take a look at two other bugs. The first one is about that you guys forgot to add a mouse gesture for the ''Stack Tabs by Host'' command. And the second one is about Vivaldi not showing the ''Search Google for'' (or other search engine) command when you select text that's on top of an image. You can checkout ad.nl (Dutch newspaper) to reproduce this bug. Thanks in advance!

Wow that was quick, thanks for checking.
I guess they were busy with other stuff, but I believe this two bugs should be easy to fix, and I've been waiting for this for at least a year, I believe.

@RasheedHolland I always bug tracker when asked by users to check a bug number.

On further review, despite declaring victory earlier, the slowdowns do seem to still be around for me - but it takes far, far more opened-and-closed tabs to trigger the issue. As in, previously I could start to see it with about 200 or so (across multiple windows); now it's closer to 2000 or possibly even higher. I hadn't previously noticed because over the last few weeks I've had to restart Vivaldi before crossing that threshold for unrelated reasons that were no fault of Vivaldi (unless you count new minor desktop updates as Vivaldi's fault ).
Unfortunately, whatever brought that order-of-magnitude improvement also rendered the "reopen workspace in new window, close the old one" workaround I'd been using nonfunctional.
I've not checked this as rigorously; I'm posting mostly because it's now happened for the third time and so I can no longer dismiss it as coincidence. So while the situation is indeed massively improved, it doesn't appear to be completely gone.

I'm currently using Viv 6.8 and it feels quite snappy. It's now only a couple of hours in memory, so I still need to wait a few more days to see if the problem has indeed been fixed for me, but so far so good. It looks like Viv 6.8 is their best release in months, website rendering and the addressbar feel quite faster.
