<![CDATA[Work only on RAM, without SSD\HDD usage.]]>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.

I want native option to resolve problem and not a crutch.

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/#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 guess it may help on achieve what you want.
