Yeah i always make sure iv got that setting on (which it is atm)

I notice theres more processes in taskmanager too used to be under 10 but now its around 17
I haven't even added anymore extensions than what i always have which is 4
My specs if needed (rtx2080, 16gb ram, 8700k) latest windows 10 pro, latest drivers as always

I never had this with older versions but i dont know when this issue started but i know it is recent

Opera's battery saver feature is known to cause low memory/out of memory issues. Make sure it's turned off.

peeps with lottsa of tabs open (not say 'n you john) could try this new flag called - Calculate window occlusion on Windows - enable it..

@john30011887 In my Opera version (66.0.3515.27 with no optional extensions), there are 11 processes running in Windows Task Manager and 10 running in Opera's Task Manager (the difference being Opera crash-reporter being also shown in the Windows TM). If you have 4 optional extensions installed, I would expect you to only have 14 (or 15) processes running in a TM. Regardless, the relevant question is which named Opera process is causing the RAM explosion when it occurs.

I don't understand is this a recognised issue by Opera people or not?

I think new version handles memory more poorly, but it is not catastrophic.
I have about 10 windows open usually, Windows 8.1

The built-in sidebar extensions like Whatsapp and Facebook etc. will create processes too if they're set up and enabled.

For me battery saver is always off, also never used any of those built-in sidebar extensions
As i said i used to have under 10 processes even with my own 4 extensions so Opera is adding more and causing memory to go wild

Lol i just looked at taskmanager and for now its normal again, i haven't changed or touched anything and i even have twitch open right now and my usual 4 extensions being used, this makes no sense

Welcome to the wonderful world of troubleshooting! If the memory issue does seem to recur in the future, see if you can capture Opera's Task Manager listing (Shift+Esc) while things are still misbehaving. It gives a better process description for each running browser process than does Windows Task Manager.
