Vivaldi appears to freeze
-
The latest Vivaldi seems to freeze a lot, since the update this morning.
When I clicked on the new tab button, nothing happens for some time, then a few minutes later all the clicks suddenly get recognized and I have five or six of them. Or, I may be working away, then try to switch tabs—and nothing happens. I can’t even close the program using the × at the corner of the screen.
While it was frozen, I clicked on a link to a video in an email, and I could hear it play, though on the screen, no new tabs opened—the browser looked exactly as it did when it froze. It’s as though Vivaldi is showing me one thing and doing another.
Memory usage continued to rise, in this case, by a gig since the video began playing. If memory is going to go up this quickly, I may as well use Firefox!
As to the tabs that I had opened, they aren’t very different to what I had in the browser a day or two days ago.
