If it was android I would clear the cache

Hello,
My vivaldi is very slow and often freezes.
If I create a new user its fast and doesnt freeze.
So there must be a lot of gunk somewhere slowing things down.
If it was android I would clear the caches.
What do I do to tidy up Vivaldi on Linux please ?

Hi, do you meant a new Linux user?
Create a new profile in your default user should do the same.
You can clean up your browsing data from the Tools menu or open the History with Ctrl+H and use the Brush icon.
Try to open Vivaldi from a terminal with
--disable-extensions
command line switch.
Chrome extensions cause a lot of issues in Vivaldi.
If you use sync it is mostly faster to start from scratch then try to repair a broken profile.Cheers, mib

Thanks mib.
I created a new Vivaldi user not a new Linux user.Yes I do have a lot of chrome extensions.
I have deleted my history and cache after starting vivaldi from command line as you suggested history will see if performance improves
Thankyou

Thankyou that has worked. I have tested on sites that previously failed. I cleared the cache and the history and that seemed to do the job.
Am interested in the extensions - do Vivaldi extensions exist ? I have always used chrome extensions in Vivaldi.
Thanks Again

No there are no Vivaldi extensions.
Many Chrome extensions work in Vivaldi but in my experience since a few years, they can cause a lot of issues in Vivaldi.
This happen often after an update of Vivaldi, extensions working for Years crash Vivaldi tabs or cause strange issues.
Simply check the with a clean profile, what you called new user, or use the command line switch to disable them all.Cheers, mib
