Tab opening and closing gets sluggish/laggy after a while - animation is enabled
-
After having a browsing session running for half an hour to an hour, tab closing and opening becomes sluggish and laggy. I'm on the latest version of Vivaldi. Tab UI animation is already clunky in Vivaldi and this extra lag after a while turns Vivaldi into a painful browsing experience.

@gwen-dragon roughly 10 tabs +/- 5.

I'm on a Windows 10 machine with a 4-core CPU at 3.7GHz, 8GB of RAM, and a Samsung SSD. Vivaldi's up to date. I have the same exact extensions (4 in total) installed in Opera and I get no UI lag whatsoever.Edit: I think it's the last update that was pushed a couple of days ago that's triggered this issue.

I disabled AdBlockPlus and Grammatically and the lag seems to have gone away (with animation enabled). Lag aside, TAB UI and scrolling on Vivaldi are still clunky and slow, compared to other browsers. -

vivaldi://flags/#smooth-scrolling
enable it -
I just enabled smooth scrolling from the flags page and it does seem to have improved scrolling smoothness. I had smooth scrolling enabled in the settings menu and it didn't have that smoothing effect.
Going back to my original complaint, with animation enabled in settings, even after disabling all extensions, tab UI still gets laggy after opening and closing many tabs. Seems to be an issue related to data management, potentially.

@garyr the setting in the normal vivaldi setting never did anything to me, no changes whatsoever, lately someone mentioned this other in the chrome flags and it actually works for me, scrolling with mousewheel or sidebars is smoother.

@ian-coog Do you get sluggish tab closing/opening with animation enabled in settings if you open and then close many tabs?
-
@garyr Ah no, I don't leave animation setting enabled as it causes more troubles to me than bringing usefulness. It causes frame dropping on YT 60fps videos and as you noticed, it's not that good with tabs. I can live better without it, I even disabled all useless animations, bells and whistles from windows too.
