          Hope it gets corrected.
          Opera is my fav browser and some times I have 20+ tabs open that worked fine. Then Opera crashes and I have to restart and reload all those tabs! That's a real pain!

            Well updated Opera today to, Opera One(version: 115.0.5322.77) Opera is up to date.
            Hoping that would correct all this crashing issues but a couple minutes ago Opera crashed again!

            In the process of restarting Opera reloading all my tabs again.
            This is really getting pretty annoying........

              @cybrsaylr You need to check with a clean profile directory, to see if the issue is with the current one.

                  @cybrsaylr Can you check opera://about? You need to take note of the path to the profile directory.

                      @cybrsaylr Now you go to that directory and rename it. Then you start Opera and use it for a while to see if the crash still happens.

                        How and what do I rename it to?
                        This is all very new and confusing to me.

                          @cybrsaylr Don't know how to do that on Linux

                          On Windows you would go to the directory using Windows Explorer and would rename it.

                              May have solved that frequent crashing problem.

                              My desktop PC is a first generation Dell i7 purchased back in 2009 with 8 GBs of RAM. It still runs great. In fact since putting in all SSDs it runs better now than when it was new!

                              Anyways I do push it now. Run a few browsers besides Opera and have sometimes 30 tabs open, or more, when running them. My System Monitor shows most of the 8 Gigs of RAM used and some had to go into the Swap file for help. Well Opera acts a bit quirky then, stalls has trouble keeping up and then crashes a lot. Firefox, Brave and Vivaldi run more stable by comparison while doing this and never crashed.

                              So since RAM is cheap, got and installed and now have 16 GBs of RAM. PC recognized it in both Linux and Windows with no problem. Noted a marked improvement in PC performance overall. And so far Opera has not crashed once and runs better than before. Maybe that was the issue all along when pushing PC like I have.

                                Well after a lull Opera is back to crashing as it did before. Sometimes a couple times a day. Guess the extra RAM didn't help. Don't know what causes this crashing. Wish it would be corrected.
