Vivaldi freezes after going to bookmarked link
-
Whenever I go to a link from my bookmarks (both from the Bookmarks sidebar and from the bookmarks panel), Vivaldi freezes for a moment and I cannot do anything. This doesn't just happen to the tab that I'm in, but to the whole browser. Happens in both Win 10 and Kubuntu (it's Vivaldi 2.0.1309.42 here).
Anyone experiencing the same problem? I don't see high CPU usage or anything, and disabling extensions also doesn't help. Yesterday I even removed my whole .vivaldi directory, but to no effect.
Any ideas? -

No idea but may you add your system specs, CPU, GPU, RAM and so forth.Cheers, mib
EDIT: Try to disable hardware acceleration > vivaldi://settings/webpages/ -
That's the point, it happens on ALL my computers, i.e. the laptop I'm currently writing on, my desktop at home, and my workstation at work. It's also three different OSs with Kubuntu, Win10, and SuSE. So I thought that it must either be a general problem, or a specific setting that I use (and that gets distributed via sync). Small update: it also happens on some web pages, when I enter the URL manually, e.g. on YouTube...

Is this behaviour bound to one or a few special bookmarks?
Do you use sync? -
@husser
Hi, I never had these issue using bookmarks on different Linux and Windows 7, 10 systems.
May you have corrupted your profile at some point and now sync it to all other systems.
You can try to refresh your profile on one system add some bookmarks or copy back your bookmark file from original profile.
If all work well with the new profile copy back more files topsites etc..https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10388/refreshing-or-cleaning-your-profile

Just tried that. I closed Vivaldi, renamed my "Default" path and restarted Vivaldi. Everything worked fine, I added some bookmarks and when clicking on them there was no freezing of the browser. So I closed Vivaldi again, copied the Bookmarks file from the old Default directory into the new one, and restarted Vivaldi. And voila, the problem reappears. So it seems that it's no setting or whatsoever but has something to do with my bookmarks... -
Ha, quick update:
I counted the number of bookmarks from the command line (grep name Bookmarks | wc -l), which gave me more than 22,000 entries! But just roughly adding the numbers in Vivaldi's bookmark panel resulted in maybe 1,000. What I then did, was just emptying the trash. Now on the command line I only get about 700 bookmarks, which looks to be the same as in Vivaldi's bookmark manager. So I guess, my bookmarks file was somehow corrupted...
