        For those facing the 'out of memory' issue:

        What is your OS?

        What is your graphics card?

        Any program running in background, like anti-virus, security suite, anti-malware, etc?

          I'm using Opera 42.0.2393.94
          Windows version 8.1 64 bit
          CPU Intel-i5
          16GB Memory
          Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

          If I run Opera with the VPN it uses up memory and crashes. If I run it without the VPN it works fine.

          Running Youtube and streaming video causes the memory leak to crash the browser much more quickly.

          It is reproducible every time and using the Task Manager you can actually watch the memory usage ramp up till it crashes.

            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.

                                        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
                                          GPU: EVGA GTX 660 no overclock
                                          Mem: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Red 64GB DDR4-2400 no overclock
                                          MB: ASROCK X99 Extreme4

                                          Microsoft Security Essentials
                                          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.

                                            But no problem to open the same 10 tabs with Firefox
