      Need setting for Opera to work only in RAM, without writing data on ssd\hdd, only several thing need to be saved to disk opened tabs\URLs, settings, passwords but only once per 5-10-20-etc minute. Cache, cookie, media cache and etc should only exist in ram and after closing browser they disappear.
      Browsers(Opera, Chrome, Firefox) active usage generate tens gigabytes of data are constantly written to disk. I noticed it when i watch Process Monitor, after one day of active usage he showed me 30-40 gb writed on my ssd by browser only, its insane.
      Sorry if my english is bad.

        @arhigiza You can do a portable/stand alone installation in a pend drive and run Opera from there. I guess it may help on achieve what you want.

          Opera doesn't support what you want and it would be cool if it did, but...

          You could set up a RAM drive and install as a standalone installation to it. Depending on the RAM drive software, it might be able to save the state of the disk.

          There are also a few command-line options that might help too/instead:

          https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#aggressive-cache-discard

          https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disk-cache-dir

          https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disk-cache-size (set to 1 maybe)

          https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#media-cache-size (set to 1 maybe)

          In settings, you can clear cookie and site data on exit.

            I know about portable/standalone and RAM-drive, but this solutions does not simple and i lose some functionality. I want native option to resolve problem and not a crutch.

              @arhigiza Opera portable should work exactly like a regular installation.
