Good to know, but nothing to make a fuss about: Looking at the video, it seems that they are now simply loading the currently open tab before the others (starting by the ones adjacent to it) instead of loading all tabs at once. Other browsers have had this for a while
- oblio 10y ago> Other browsers have had this for a while Hilariously, Opera itself used to have this! I think it was one of the first browsers that had this :) (at least that's what I remember from back in the day, maybe my memory is deceiving me)
- trextrex 10y agoWell, the new Opera already had an option to load tabs on demand when you switch to it after starting up. I guess now they're adding an option to load them in the background. In terms of performance the load tab on demand works reasonably well.
- john_reel 10y agoAre you thinking of cooperative scheduling? If so, Presto did pioneer this.
- IsmaOlvey 10y agoWhen did Chrome get it? For the longest time, Chrome has had the bad habit of consuming all available CPU when starting with many tabs (a couple of hundred), essentially making your system unusable until it has loaded all tabs. It's pretty sad, really. Back when Opera 12 was discontinued, this worked well there - tabs were loaded sequentially, but you could still open new tabs while it was doing so. Even now the experience is sub-par in the major browsers (Chrome and Firefox. I can't speak for Edge). I mentioned Chrome already, but Firefox is also awfully slow to start up with many tabs, even when lazy-loading (i.e. a tab is not loaded until you select it) enabled. I've yet to try Opera 41, but at least it seems to be a step in the right direction.
- witty_username 10y agoYou use a couple hundred tabs?
