5.6.x.50 | Twitter unusable
-
vivaldi-stable_5.6.2867.50 - unusable for Twitter, had to downgrade to vivaldi-stable_5.6.2867.36
Upgraded this morning from my existing 5.6.2867.36 to 5.6.2867.50 & immediately started having problems with video in Twitter - nothing would load or play.
Whole tabs started freezing, cpu utilisation going up.Downgraded to .36 again and all is fine.
ThinkPad T530 8-core i7 with 12GB ram so we're not hitting a minimum spec problem

Try a reinstall of Vivaldi, may be it had not fetched and installed the special libffmpeg and DRM codec for Vivaldi.
