Slow rendering of certain pages in Vivaldi
-
To be fair, I have got this problem with all Chromium based browsers, like Edge, Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi. I get this huge 5 seconds delay when loading pages like The Verge and Adyen. The problem gets solved when I disable inline scripts with the uBlock extension. Websites will then load instantly.
It seems to be a problem with Chromium on certain hardware. Can you Vivaldi guys investigate this issue?
https://www.theverge.com
https://www.adyen.comMy system specs:
Windows 8.1 64 bit
DirectX 11.2Intel Core i5-4590, 3300 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 -
Also, another thing I noticed is that Vivaldi becomes slower and slower, the longer it stays in memory. I often don't restart Vivaldi for about two days, and I often load about 50 tabs. After this period, most websites will all of a sudden take longer to load, you will also see CPU usage going up.
So seems like in general, Vivaldi has got performance issues, but I don't know if it's a problem with Chromium in general. I believe that a browser should always stay snappy, even after days in memory.

@RasheedHolland I can confirm that issue as well. I usually have 4-5 Vivaldi windows open with each having between 10-50 tabs. I have to kill Vivaldi a few times a day and restart it because it becomes so sluggish, despite my system having 24GB RAM that is usually no more than 50% used. After the restart, the tabs are again loading quickly and scrolling is normal.
I'm currently testing MS Edge (Chromium) Canary build. That browser is blazing fast.

The sites
loadsdon't take too long to finish loading. The adyen.com takes a bit more, it has more elements to download than first, confirm?Edited: grammar

TheVerge and Adyen renders very fast on 2.6.1566.44 Stable Windows 10 x64.
Check it with Private Window to exclude any effects from extensions.
May be one of your extensions causes this.Guys, I can't believe it. I thought I had done a decent troubleshoot, but I have now found out that weirdly enough this problem is caused by adblocking extensions like uBlock, Ghostery and Adblock Plus. I'm a bit shocked. Without these extensions the pages load normally. How the heck is this possible.

Thanks for confirming, so you are saying that you don't see this with Edge? Then it's definitely a problem with Vivaldi. I indeed also have scrolling problems, it becomes very sluggish. Seems like it's a problem with RAM management. And yes, as soon as I restart Vivaldi, everything runs just fine.

@RasheedHolland Not sure it's just Vivaldi. It would seem to be Vivali+something, because I never have any slowing or sluggishness here. Never. And that includes when I'm running it on a machine that runs only a dual core and 4 GB of RAM.

Chromium might be having Network issues.

@RasheedHolland Now I'm also wondering if the ad-blocker causes the sluggishness. I use AdGuard with Vivaldi, Chrome and Edge (Chakra). On Edge Canary (Chromium), I use uBlock. So it could be the reason that Edge Canary with uBlock is reacting so much faster. I'll reconfigure Vivaldi with uBlock to see if it makes a difference. @Gwen-Dragon, as an experienced uBlock user, would you share your settings?

Are you sure you are using Vivaldi the same way as me? This means that you open and close 50 tabs and keep Vivaldi in memory for two days. Of course, I also put my machine in hibernation. Only then will I get to see these performance problems. After restart, Vivaldi is snappy again.

No, sorry for confusing you. I actually posted two separate issues in this thread. The one that we talked about hasn't got anything to do with adblockers, it seems to be purely a Vivaldi (or Chromium) problem with RAM management.

@RasheedHolland You have all three extension activated?
I know Ghostery and Adblock Plus was slowing down, is use uBlock Origin and have no slow rendering.May be you have special rules or lists fΓΌr your ad filter extensions?
No, not at the same time. I discovered that when I disabled uBlock, the problem was gone. Then I decided to install Ghostery, I got the same problem. After that I tested ABP, same problem. So at least on my machine, Vivaldi, Opera and Edge seem to have problems when ad-blockers are installed. I'm quite puzzled.
