Solve : Slow Browser?

1.	Solve : Slow Browser?
Answer» Hello, For the last couple of days my Opera 28.0.1750.48 has gotten really slow, especially if there are images on the web site I am at. I did a scan with ESET on-line scan YESTERDAY and it found quite a few things that were removed. But still my browser is slow. I was looking into clearing my CACHE and all that but not sure where to start. Other than TELLING me to get a different browser any suggestions would be appreciated. ThanksI have Opera 28.0.1750.51 installed on my Win 8.1 laptop but I've stopped USING it in recent weeks. I became frustrated with sluggish performance. So, Opera might be the problem in your case and the only solution is to do what you don't want to hear, to switch to another browser. You could periodically revisit Opera and see whether future updates perform better; that's probably what I'll do. You may also wanna visit SpeedTest.net to check your connection...I did the speed test and every thing looks fine. I think it's my entire computer that's slow. I thinking about reformatting the hard drive to clean it up. I've been trying to clean it up over the past few days but it's not doing much. I looked at Chrome and Firefox but they put a lot of unwanted things on my computer.FireFox doesn't... Quote FireFox doesn't.. That's funny every time I've downloaded and installed it it has.It looks like things are about back to normal. It could have been a problem with my internet provider over the weekend. Another thing if you have the time and willingness. Do a check on the hard drive, then defrag it. After that, open up some space on the drive to allow a new install of your favorite OS, or maybe another OS. So install another OS and setup a dual-boot. This lets you experiment with two instances of the same OS, or maybe another OS. From personal tests I did on by PCs , I found that the newer install was LEAN and fast . Not sure way. I think it is all the stuff that somehow gets on my PC without my knowing about it. AV scans don't seem to help much. But rate needed, of course. Thanks Geek-9pm, that sounds like a good idea. I used to do some thing similar, I had two hard drives on my computer with the same operating system, not hooked up at the same time though. I would experiment with the second, back-up one and if I messed it up so what, reformat it and try again. I think a new install doesn't have have all that crap running in the background and things left behind. A new install is lean and fast. The trick is not to fall for all the hype out there and end up with a bunch of garbage from installing and uninstalling so much stuff. Yeah, I hear you. Hard to get free software without something attached. Quote from: sloan448 on April 13, 2015, 12:04:21 PM That's funny every time I've downloaded and installed it it has. It never did on my end...sorry 'bout your luck...Well I've got my 1T hard-drive divided into 2 500gb partitions. Now all I have to do is install the operating system on the second partition to do some experimenting.
