Whatsapp Web gif problem Oldest to Newest Newest to Oldest K kkromkowski last edited by LonM First off all sorry if this was already asked. I have searched but not found. Here is my problem in steps: Open web.whatsapp.com Connect/login your phone/whatsapp Select a contact Instead of writing him/her click the emoticon icon Select "GIF" When the list of gifs is loading try to change the category, i.e. "reaction" After few seconds the Vivaldi stops to react and the cpu usage raises to 100%. Only killing the process helps. Thanks for your help. 1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0 First off all sorry if this was already asked. I have searched but not found.

Are you using any extensions? Also you have checked the task manager (see in the menu, under Tools) to see if any other tab is using a lot of CPU? ☝️ Vote for new features | 🕵️‍♀️ Code of Conduct | 🐛 Report bugs | 📨 Contact support D K 2 Replies Last reply Reply Quote 0 Thanks for your report @ kkromkowski unfortunately our dev team was not able to reproduce it.

K kkromkowski @Gaëlle last edited by @gaelle Thank you for the answer. I am trying to answer you but I am blocked by akismet. We will see if this one will go through I am using two extensions (have installed them but not activated for the web-dot-whatsapp-dot-com): User-Agent switcher mobile browser emulator. I have checked the task manager also and only the tab with this website goes so high with cpu and ram consumption. Also if I will kill it relatively quick, vivaldi itself stays stable. However, I have to admit that I also cannot reproduce this issue on my other machine. Maybe there is something system-specific. I will check tomorrow on another 2 PCs with different versions of Windows and let you know. M Z 2 Replies Last reply Reply Quote 2 @gaelle Thank you for the answer.
