[Solved]Opera and just about every damn site

It seems that just about every site that I visit with opera hangs, sometimes without loading anything, sometimes halfway, there really is no pattern, except that all pages hang opera and CPU usage goes to max, until you stop the page.

I though this could be flash, but really this happens with pages that do not use flash at all. Any suggestions?

Edit: Got it working, the trick was not to install opera.           

   ....but to install opera-qt4 or opera-dev, either works but opera + qt3 = gordon brown ugly

Also, disabling javascript does not cure this. Friends who use opera on Windows do not experiance this, so its got to be my system. Grrrrrrhhh

Where are you installing Opera from and what version have you installed ?
32 or 64 bit ?

I don't have Opera but on Firefox, if IPv6 isn't disabled, I have similar problems than you describe.

Re: [Solved]Opera and just about every damn site

I have 32 bit version installed, and this problem does not exist in firefox. Also, as I recall I have uninstalled ipv6. Might need to chack that actually...

Also, opera-dev and opera-qt4 seem to work just fine now xD Of course, as much opera-dev uses qt3, which refuses to look good on my system, no matter how much i try (can't seem to skin it, but thats another problem).

Anyhow, Im going to check ipv6, and if its not that, then just go for opera-dev or qt4 folks. Opera cant play nice with shared library, or the rest of the world really.

Huh, turns out that I have forgot to disable ipv6 @_@

Though, in my defence, I have been playing around with modprob.conf trying to get alsa to work fully xD

Okay, I have tested the ipv6 theory for completness, and I can say that it is not that. With ipv6 disabled the plain opera install still buggers up as always. opera-qt4 works however. Damn this inbread browser.

Anyway, it seems to be okay for now, cheers guys.

I believe qt 4.5.3 makes Opera stable go awry - it's been fixed in one of the snapshots.

AFAIK it isn't. There is a workaround though, which I found elsewhere on this forum. The trick is to open  opera:config and disable "Synchronous decode" under User Prefs. I confirm that this works for both my EEEPC and my old PC.
