Vivaldi slow and laggy?

@GeneralAwareness
You are the first user report this since 4 month, if all user had your Vivaldi experience nobody would use it.
One example, a friend install Avast and Vivaldi lagging as hell after an update, all other browsers not.
After removing this crap Vivaldi work fast as usual.
I am sorry it is not working for you but it is Vivaldi on your system and not Vivaldi on other systems, something is blocking Vivaldi, no idea what.Cheers, mib

In my Laptop Vivaldi, with all extensions, bookmarks, notes, with 20 tabs open is much faster than the Firefox with its default settings, without bookmarks and extensions, which I have as a second browser for tests. Sys specs in my signature, no third party AV (Defender only), DNScrypt.

@mib2berlin I don't have anything targeting Vivaldi as I don't have any of that AV nonsense running. I do my daily scan instead. I am a minimalist and I find it so ironic that every other browser out there runs smooth as butter for me YET not this one, and ONLY this one.
Might be because I am on the last sane version for url autocompletion because after this version the screwed the pooch. No, I despise the new way Vivaldi auto-completes, so luckily someone steered me to the version I use because they too, with a lot of others, thought it was utter nonsense. I left Brave for various reasons but at this rate Vivaldi is probably not the browser for me.
I found a real bug too and the devs of InvokeAI narrowed it down to being ONLY the Vivaldi browser causing it so no simping for Vivaldi and that was when I was using the latest builds too.

Hm, if you downgrade Vivaldi this is maybe the issue, this break you profile but anyway.
I would check the latest snapshot as standalone install for a last try, absolute clean install and many address bar fixes since 5.6, too.Good luck, mib
-
@mib2berlin I will give that a try because the only thing that drove me mad before was the address bar autocomplete horrible anti every other browser way. This was around Dec/Jan so whatever version was back then as current I just couldn't stomach it. I became so annoyed it was worthless and I had to turn it off. Luckily someone had me go all the way back to 5.5 something and there was the wonderful autocomplete again.
Thanks again.

@mib2berlin Tried it and the lag was horrid to Google colab, for instance, yet in Edge, or firefox it was so much faster in loading a notebook. I mean on the order of 2s vs 5-8s for vivaldi.

@GeneralAwareness
What do you meant with "faster in loading a notebook"?
Vivaldi is always slower at start, this is normal because of the second UI layer.
Otherwise I am out of ideas, sorry.Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin Apparently you do not know Google colab. That is fine but Vivaldi is undeniably slower at loading pages such as Google's colab notebooks. Tried the build you said with no extensions and it failed miserably.
It was worth a try, but this is too great (a REPEATABLE) a difference.
Thanks though.

To me, Vivaldi in general has always been slow and laggy compared to most other browsers. Especially noticable on my Microsoft Surface Pro, where just clicking 'new tab' has a constant, noticable delay whereas Firefox and Chrome are just blazing through. (The very high native resolution may cause it?)
It can't help with all the new features that get thrust into the hood with every update
I think Vivaldi perhaps is better regarded as an 'Internet suite', as Opera was back in the day. It's got a heck of a lot of features, but it's not going to be the speediest.
-
I have the same issue, at least with typing. It occasionally hitches and takes a moment to continue typing. I had default settings, and it did the same. I now have a ui similar to Opera GX (as that's where I'm coming from). Typing this message doesn't seem to cause any issues. I only have three extensions: google drive and two password managers.

Hi, you can check if something in your profile or with the extensions in a Guest Profile.
Is it only typing or does Vivaldi lag compare to other browsers?
Often a third party security software "blocks" Vivaldi but work fine with Opera or Chrome.
Do you use one?
