      Previous author is right.

      Main memory leak is located in VPN code, most probably in decryption buffers related code.

      As video viewing lead to large transfer amounts you get your leak leading to OOM issue much faster.

      Also happens with heavy images loaded sites.

      Bug was introduced recently and especially bad became in latest 42 version.

        I'm using

        • Opera 42.0.2393.94
        • Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)
        • Stable version

        and also have the same issue, I frequently use the VPN, too. My computer has

        • 8GB RAM + 2GB Nvidia video card
          My antivirus is
        • Avira Product version 15.0.24.146 06/12/2016.

        I also use AdBlock Plus as Opera's adblocker doesn't have a feature to manually block advertisements/content by clicking on them and it usually misses some ads. Adblock Plus is the only extension I use.

        It usually happens when I enter a site with a lot of images and video content. The "out of memory" error also happens if there are too many advertisements. I have been having this issue since the v41 release. Sometimes Opera crashes completely and then restarts by itself, too.

          I'm using - Opera 42.0.2393.94 >Windows 7 Ultimate|AMZ athlon X2| 4 GB RAM| comodo firewall only|
          Can not even open more than one tab. There was no problem at 42.0.2393.85 so delete the update and reverted to 42.0.2393.85 again. But today it is happening with 42.0.2393.85 too.
          VPN is always on, When I don't use VPN there is not a single incident of "Out of memory";maybe something to do with VPN.

          By the way, is there anyway I can download older version of opera from safe place?

            Does the problem persist if you rename your profile?

              So everyone facing this 'out of memory' issue was using the VPN when it happened?

                  What about graphics card? Do you use a Nvidia one by chance?

                      I've posted my specs before in this thread.

                      I don't use any VPN, no firewall or anti-virus, usually only two things that are constantly running when I'm using Opera are Discord and Logitech software for my headphones.

                              In my case, this happens only if VPN is enabled.

                                It is just lot of memory leaks.

                                With VPN turned on leaks are huge, especially with some large traffic.

                                With VPN off it also happens, just leaks are much smaller, but also pile up with time.

                                Before 43 version release development team really need to find most leaks.

                                  Windows 10 x64 Home

                                  Intel HD 520 graphics card (laptop)

                                  Avast anti-virus

                                  No VPN

                                  The only site i use that this happens with is Twitch.tv. I usually use a popped out HTML5 video. It takes a long time, but after a few hours that video tab goes out of memory. If i have a popped out chat window for the stream, the chat goes out of memory at the same time. The problem has occurred even when video is not popped out (i.e. it's in a regular tab).

                                    Happened for first time to me today. 10 tabs open (About low average for me). No videos going. 4 of the tabs received OOM errors apparently simultaneously. Other 6 were fine. The tab I was on was nextwharehouse.com.

                                    OS: Win7 Ultimate latest updates and patches
                                    CPU: i7-5820k no overclock

                                    No VPN at the time
                                    Memory usage indicated 31%

                                    My system generally idles through everything I do with it and with 64GB of gaming grade memory, not sure how Opera could have detected, let alone produced an OOM condition.

                                      Impossible to open tabs with Opera, except Facebook. The other are running for more than 30 min, without result

                                      But no problem to open the same 10 tabs with Firefox

                                        What's that have to do with the thread subject?

                                        Try disabling your extension, and post the results in a new thread - or one appropriate to your topic.

                                            Lack of (Pagefile) RAM Gives Out Of Memory Error:SOLVED JAN 15th 2017
                                            Chances are your setting for pagefile size has never been changed. Well, it's time! Windows has been asleep at the wheel again and failed to notice that webpages are much more RAM intensive these days, and the default pagefile comes up a bit short when browsing. I can help some of you with the only thing that has worked for me since this Out Of "Memory" error started a few months back..
                                            Try this:
                                            Windows Control Panel > "System" > "Advanced System Properties" > then go to "Performance" section up top of the window, click "Settings".
                                            Now you will see "Performance Options". Go to "Advanced" > Click "Change"and increase your pagefile size. (1.5X Actual)
                                            It has worked for me and is still not giving me the "Out Of Memory" error since I did this!
                                            I shouldn't so won't give advice for how to, or how big your pagefile should be, that's for you to enjoy. 😃
                                            Why is this anyways?? The reason is webpages are becoming much more RAM intensive and found that Windows (wake UP!) just hasn't adjusted default settings for this phenomenon. It may also be from the way Opera handles its paging operations while browsing. We already know Opera uses more RAM and has more instances when running (Task Manager) than IE or FireFox. Give this a try, it can't hurt your PC.
                                            Just make your max pagefile 1.5 times actual physical RAM and it should work well! (If you already have lots of RAM this won't help!).
                                            I've not had the error since I bumped up my pagefile size so it should work for you too.
                                            Cheers.
