      Me too using V42 on Windows 7. Started happening a couple of weeks ago and happens when I have multiple tabs open on youtube.
      Very disappointing and amazed that no-one has either addressed the issue or at least recognized it.
      Have had to switch back to firefox.

        What would be 'multiple tabs'? I've just opened 5 videos on Youtube without any issues so far.

          You would be amazed at the number of people that come here and have some weird issue that no one else has experienced or even seen anywhere else. It is very hard to track something down when you can't reproduce it.

              There are about 10 people above with the same issue. I think there are other threads on here with similar issues as well. Is it not a coincidence that a number of people all of a sudden have the similar symptoms when previously everything was fine? Just because you can't reproduce it doesn't mean that there isn't a problem. I agree that makes it very hard to deal with, but please believe us.

                  I'm having the same issue on ANY page! Pages with videos only accelerate that issue.
                  After closing all tabs, memory still remains full and i must restart opera.
                  Version 42.0.2393.94 32bit
                  System: Win 7 and Win 10.

                    The point is that if "most" users don't see a given problem, including the developers on their systems, it is very difficult for those others to track down the cause of a problem they aren't seeing - even if the problem sufferers number in the several hundred out of the million(s) or more total users. This isn't the same thing as denying a problem exists. There are a vast number of variables between different user systems, in terms of hardware, installed software, and customized user settings. Consequently, the more information supplied in a problem report about a user's OS (type and version), his video system (including drivers), his antimalware software, and some of his custom settings (especially graphics acceleration or not, open tab count, specific webpages or videos, etc), the greater the opportunity for helpers/developers to assist in tracking down possible problem causes - and, hence, to provide likely fixes.

                      FWIW, even using Vivaldi (another chromium-based) browser, on that site, one of its processes steadily increases memory consumption at the rate of roughly 35Kb/second, which is about 2.1 Mb/minute. Likewise, the memory consumption of Firefox 50's single process (a non-chromium browser) also steadily climbs at a roughly similar rate though with some up-and-down activity as it increases, which tends to make me suspect there's something in the Twitch site code/functionality itself involved in your situation.

                          "that no one else has experienced", what is very different.

                          Not all reported problems can be reproduced by everyone since many of them may be triggered by a specific hardware and/or software setting.

                                I have the same problem, randomly out of memory. It's very annoying.

                                  I've decided to test different livestreaming services and see what will happen. I've ran opera in private mode, opened one stream at a time and let it run for 5 minutes.

                                  Here are my results. http://i.imgur.com/Gq5aplv.jpg

                                  Then I've opened the same streams in Chromium. Same quality, same amount of time, vastly different memory consumption. http://i.imgur.com/hQZDlzf.jpg

                                  My specs:
                                  CPU - AMD FX 6300
                                  Video - Geforce GTX 750 with 375.70 drivers installed
                                  RAM - 8 gigs
                                  Windows 7 x64 pro
                                  Opera 42.0.2393.94
                                  Chromium 57.0.2964.0

                                    I stopped using Opera and switched to Vivaldi and I can assure you it's not Chromium as I have absolutely no "outofmemory" issues using Vivaldi so far (and used it for days now).

                                    I have a 16GB DDR system , Windows 10 , SSD and opera showing outofmemory messages is absurd (btw, if you had a real 64bit version this error would have not appeared:) there is clearly a memory hole in the code introduced with the latest patches/versions. T

                                    Anyway , it is definetely something related to opera last 2 versions (just compare the code and see what you added and do a proper smoke and regression testing this time) , frankly this is a job for QA (if there is something like that at Opera or devs/enduser is the QA?) but i think Developers should look into the code for this and see what sites are causing it , have a debugger running and also checking the process to understand this bug. A end-user cannot do nothing here but experience it.

                                    My Opera configs :

                                    Extension:
                                    1 Adblock Plus
                                    2.Last Pass

                                    If we are on the logic that only 10 experienced it and as such it's not important ...well there are other browsers.

                                        They can only do it if they can reproduce the issue. Otherwise they could only do blind guesses.

                                          After have spent a few hours running videos on that site, I wasn't able to reproduce that 'out of memory' issue.
