Google Photos REALLY slow

hornetster

Anyone else experiencing Google Photos being VERY slow, when trying to edit?
ie trying to crop or rotate.
Has been like this before, but seemed to improve, but has gone bad again...
It's not Google Photos issue, as working fine in Firefox...
Have tried clearing cache.
Anything else to try?

Hi, crop and rotate work instantly on my systems, specs in my signature.
You cant compare with Firefox, completely different engine but with other Chromium browser.
Chromium itself or Opera for example.
Please test this in a private window and/or the guest view, this except extensions and use the default settings.

Thanks.
Tried in a private window - same result.
Installed Chromium - works fine...

@hornetster
Did you check with guest view too?
The private window use your user profile, the guest not.

Hm, no idea why this is slow for you.
I hope other user have some ideas.

Had you special settings (check vivaldi://flags )
Had you disable Use of Hardware Acceleration (check vivaldi://gpu )

@DoctorG
Reset all in vivaldi://flags, and
can't see anything obvious in vivaldi://gpu....?

Thanks.

I can not test because having at this time VM with Linux guest and a broken GPU driver.

But what about testing
vivaldi://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization to Disabled or vice versa
and
vivaldi://flags/#disable-accelerated-2d-canvas to Disabled

@hornetster No hardware acceleration! This makes it sluggish.

Had you checked Settings → Webpages → Use of Hardware Acceleration?

Older GPU/Hardware?

Don't believe I had ever changed it, but, YES! that was the issue!
Many thanks!
