Unity Asset Store runs slow or does not load/function.

I’m posting this mainly for the people who are struggling with the unity asset store. The unity asset store performance can vary widely based on the browser you use. I was having an issue with the asset store where it just refused to function. I had to open everything in a new tab, the add asset button would cause the website to freeze, and many issues with the search and sorting features.

The solution? Open the asset store in Chrome instead of Opera GX/your preferred browser. I’m not sure what causes this issue since Opera GX is chromium based, however if you are having issues with the asset store try a different browser.

Feedback Section:

Is it possible to get the asset store working properly on the alternative browsers especially the popular ones like Brave and Opera?

They give a shit on us, i posted the same issue before, i deleted cache and so on. for me chrome and edge dont work also. also the money back guarantee is a farce. I try always to buy the assets direct form the creators. If not i just dont buy it anymore.

Never experienced an issue in chrome, or just access the store within Unity itself

They took out the Asset Store functionality in 2021+.

On my old Mac, Chrome often has trouble with Unity’s websites because they are doing dumb things with timers or refresh code. It has gotten better over the years but I still end up using Safari for the Asset Store.

Opera adds functionality above and beyond what is normally provided by the original browser. Security and privacy are increased and this can lead to problems with some websites. It’s less resource intensive too which may be due to modifying the internals and that can lead to yet more problems.
