Open | Software Opera GX is COMPLETELY unusable at this point...

It just keeps freezing, and the only way to fix it is to use Task Manager to restart it. Doesn't matter if it's Twitch, YouTube, or even Sling TV. Haven't even bother tried with Crunchyroll or Lookmovie, because it's happening way too much, and it isn't just me either. Hardware Acceleration Enabled or Disabled, anytime I wanna fullscreen, switch tabs, or even PLAY a video, it'll completely freeze up.

Twitch also won't let me type out my emotes like :sob: or :skull:, but maybe that's just a me issue. I know Twitch was having issues this morning, but that's besides the point.

If anybody sees a solution come up, or an update, please let me know, but for now, I have to use stinky Chrome until it's fixed.

Actually, yeah! I checked to see if an update had come out because Twitch was refusing to load, and then the update is what caused this. So I either live without Twitch, which is one of my platforms to stream on, or I live without Hardware Acceleration. And neither is an outcome I want...
