Opera now uses for to much RAM and resources....enough said. The developers need to find a way to update it so it uses less. All this added stuff, like the "GX Corner"...is completely unnecessary...and you should have the option to not have it. I get it's a "browser for gamers," but with it using as much as it does...you can't run a game with Opera running as well.

@leocg Oh....and half the damn "extensions" opera uses, I don't need running...but they're running and taking up memory anyway.

@leocg said in [Compilation]Discussions on CPU and Memory usage in Opera GX:
@jjhanzely 650MB nowadays is absolutely nothing. You are simply trying to run a software in a inappropriate device and are trying to blame the software for it
AKA...Laptop.
I guess Opera should only be reserved foe extremely powerful gaming PCs then, shouldn't it? May as well have a disclaimer saying, "Opera uses massive resources. You may need to upgrade your RAM, or....what we built Opera for....A High end, High RAM, Gaming PC. Opera is not meant for laptops. Install at your own risk."
If you seriously think 650MB - 1200MB of RAM is nothing, when there is only 2 GB available (after all background tasks needed to simply run the computer)...then you're obviously one of those people who have a 500GB RAM, in that case..."it's nothing." 650MB is not nothing...when no other program comes close to that amount.
But...as I said....at least I don't have to worry about Opera crashing my computer due to the massive about of resources it now uses. Had to upgrade my RAM...just because of Opera.

@jjhanzely Well, this is a forum and anyone can reply to posts. If you don't like a reply to a post of yours, just ignore it.
The thing is...you're responding directly to my posts...but not contributing any relevant information. Just saying, "Shift + Esc. to check tasks,"...well Windows also has a "Task manager" so you can actually see how much Total Memory programs are using when running. If I could actually turn off some of these useless extensions...I would.

@leocg That would be the total amount of memory Opera was using to run at that time. Had to spend money to greatly increase my RAM so Opera doesn't crash, or worse....crash my computer....and Opera is still using a total of 857 MB of RAM Memory to run. Well...since I spent $150 to upgrade my RAM, I won't have to worry about Opera crashing my computer when it jumps my Memory Usage to 95%.

@leocg 100 MB out of 650 MB being used...is not a "(very) low amount of memory." That's literally 1/6 of the total that is simply not needed for most.
Of course....the other issue is all the "background Processes" that have to be on...unless it crashes your computer (or other programs.)....which means you have far less Memory to run stuff than you actually think.....and with Opera using most of that up.....That's what we're complaining about. Why are you a Moderator Answering these questions if you know nothing about how programs and computers run? Clearly, in order to run Opera, and play games at the same time, you need to massively upgrade you RAM, and available Memory to actually run things.

@leocg
Moderator or not...maybe you should shut it unless you know what we're talking about. There's Memory for storage...and Memory needed to actually run stuff. Opera...takes far more memory than other browsers. If you know know what we're talking about, even when showing proof...shut it! -

Clearly shows how much more Memory Opera is using compared to another browser.....on the same webpage.

@leocg Guess it's time to drop Opera, then...since it uses over twice as much whatever-you-feel-like-calling it.

@leocg That's not normal at all. I tired another browser...and it look less than half of what Opera uses. No browser should need so much resources to run.
