Whatsapp web on web panel became extremely slow

@mercail

Same issue here on Windows 10.

Vivaldi 5.4.2753.37 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

2022 still the same issueWhatsApp Web is basically unusable in the Web Panel. Ramps up the CPU and freezes the app within the panel. Using it in a normal web page doesn't cause this issue.

OS: Fedora 36 5.18.19-200.fc36.x86_64
Vivaldi: 5.4.2753.40 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)

I have the same issue. I really hope it gets fixedsince Whatsapp web as a web panel is quite useful and at the moment is completely unusable.

Same issue still - any solutions for this?

@crossLain Do you have videos playing in whatsapp chats?

Check vivaldi://gpu copy and post here with </> button.

@Yukora @crossLain Is it really only the whatsapp tab or some extensions causing cpu exhaustiontoo?
Please start Vivaldi's task manager with Shift Esc und check.

@DoctorG I see just WhatsApp panel climbing to 150 in CPUnothing else comes closes. Stutters and gets stuck constantlypretty unusable

On my VM (VirtialBoxVMWare gpu driver2 CPU) with Debian 11 i get 9-22% CPU usage with a video and 6% up to 32% while scrolling .
I guess that's because my Vivaldi in this emulated environment has no GPU hardware acceleration.

@Yukora I do not know if extensions can affect your web panels.

When does that happen? Which action do you start when such happens?

@DoctorG Pretty much anythingclicking on a chat kills it for example

@Yukora Which OS and Desktop Environment?
GPU drivers up-to-date from manufacturer website or OS maintainer?
Which Vivaldi version?
Installed extensions?
Antivirus/Malware scanner?

@DoctorG
Vivaldi 5.4.2753.40
PCWindows 10
extensions: Privacy BadgeruBlock OriginTwitch AdblockLastPass
No special antivirus installed
GPU up to date

Disabling all extensions and restarting Vivaldi did not helpstill stutters and freezes so probably not related

@Yukora And why do you post in a Linux forum?

@Yukora I guess one of your installed extension costs much CPU.

Try in a new test profile without any settings and extensions (close Welcome page when it appears).

For some reason it doesn't let me to post the logs. As Yukora mentionedsimply clicking the chat or opening the smiley gallery freezes the panelmakes it basically unusable. No other app causes anything similar. And only within the web panelopening the app in a normal tab does not cause any issues. It's weird.

@DoctorG Sorry came here from a google search but I saw this issue on windows forum too (https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/49161/100-cpu-usage-on-web-panel-use-whatsapp-web)

Like I mentioned - tried with no extensionsstill reproduces

Since a couple of updates agoI have noticed that when using WhatsApp in the Vivaldi sidebar it is extremely sloweven Vivaldi itself is extremely slow.
I have a Windows 11 computerwith Core i7 8 core processor and 16 GB RAMSSD 480all applications run fine but Vivaldi is slowI think every time they put more features they make it slowI even re-downloaded Opera to try WhatsApp in its panel and it works perfectly.

I uninstalled Sophos antivirus to see if it was the fault of the antivirusbut the problem persistsI do not know what the problem is or if they already realized how slow is Vivaldi lately.

I've been experiencing the same problem on macOS; it seems weird that it's much faster when I try WA Web in a new tab. Even opening the context menu for a message (that thing that lets you reply or delete etc.) takes up to 100% of my CPU in the panelwhereas only a maximum of 25% on a tab. My Mac may be extremely sluggishbut this is still rather ridiculous.
