Switching video to full screen is slow
-
This old problem is very annoying. I hope to see it fixed someday
-
I wrote about this kind of problem some time ago https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/40969/very-non-smooth-youtube-page-window-scaling. I don't think it's Vivaldi's full screen mode problem because in my case scaling and going full screen is pretty smooth on twitch or vimeo unlike YT.

Same problem for me.
Full screen(F11) lags everywhere, not youtube or other online video only. -
I got so sick of this YouTube fullscreen toggle lag that I spent a night devising a fix, and created a Chrome extension / Tampermonkey script for it:

This thread is the first Google search result for 'youtube fullscreen slow' which still permits replies, so thanks for indulging me despite it not being built for Vivaldi. I have yet to look into making Vivaldi extensions, and I don't know about the Vivaldi performance issue, but this should at least solve the problem with Chrome. And the script may still help on Vivaldi too - let me know

Maybe because I've got only 1 sec lag, but it's still worse than in Firefox.

@Gregor That's a shame it's not working for you. The original version of the extension's been approved on the Chrome Web Store now, but I have tonight managed to improve it further to bring the performance in Chrome close to what it is in Firefox - near instant. Let me know if you have better luck with either the new script in Tampermonkey, or the Chrome Web Store version.
-
Still not working (both versions), but maybe it's on my side (Win7, fullhd). I do not know what affects it.
-
Damn. I'll have to do some more testing on other machines
-
Ok, I've finally actually tested it in Vivaldi - bug filed here
-
I never experienced this issue until the update to the .36 version then it happened, so then I went back to the .34 and the issue went away. I hope this gets resolved by the Vivaldi team as it's the best browser I've used up until this point.

Vimeo is god damn fast switching fullscreen. Instantly. Twitch, a little slower. Youtube is the worst and very annoying experience.

The script version is enough for me and improve the speed feeling. Thanks.

Updated to the latest Vivaldi version and to give it the best chance I also updated my graphics drivers and it seems ok now.

I tested this as a Tampermonkey script - it seems to work pretty well, nice work
You won't don't notice that much difference just from making a video full screen after loading - but if you scroll down and load a lot of comments the transition to full screen is much smoother than it used to be. The two-step lag has always seemed to be related to how many comments are loaded on-screen, at least for me.
-
Someone made a post on this a few weeks back, since the latest stable update its got even worse.
4 seconds for youtube to go full screen and 3 seconds to go back.
Also getting stutering on web pages, and lag for right click menu's to appear.

I suggest do a feature freeze until the performance issues are handled as it appears to be some kind of dev race to add new features.
-
It's working for me now, thanks.
-
I currently encounter the same problem.
Even if i've used the Tampermonkey Script it doesn't work properly.
Why is that thing only doing this only on Vivaldi ?
I use it everyday but see this bug since a lot of versions without any changes -
@ZimbiX I haven’t seen this script before, well done. I already block all comments on youtube, but this speeds it up considerably.
