DIsable browser cache for videos

Hi, I have 32 GB of RAM and suppose, YouTube videos use a lot of GBS and maybe it’s better to disable the cache and use only RAM to save SSD TBW resource. How to optimize it? I got a tip to use HW acceleration but “Use hardware acceleration when available” is already true. How to disable the SSD usage for caching videos?

@psijicv There is no setting for it.

Where this cache is stored? There is a proposal to mount a tmpfs on /etc/fstab for that location.
~/.cache/opera/Cache/ - if it's there, can I separate the video cache only?

@psijicv Path to the cache can be found in opera://about.

Yes, it writes: .cache/opera
But what about video/media cache only?
