Opera can be almost embarrassingly helpful at times--that's just the kind of browser it is. But you can streamline your preferences to keep this sort of hand-holding to a minimum, especially when it comes to settings that sometimes take up more time than they save.
Steps
Go under Preferences > Network > Server name completion.
If you uncheck Try name completion and Look for local network machine,
Opera will stop cycling your CPU, trying to guess what you're typing in the address bar. Otherwise, when you type in a word--such as, say, BoingBoing--your CPU will waste time looking for a bookmark named BoingBoing, a local network named BoingBoing, and any number of prefix- and suffix-added variations. (This lag, of course, is especially noticeable on slower connections.)
now thats all the 3 major browsers sorted - i hope these tuts are helpful
