      I love this new GX browser but we need an easier way to set cache location on a different drive such as a ram drive due to excessive writes while watching a twitch stream. Please add this feature, its next to nothing to implement. I hate having to set the "mlink /d" command to redirect cache location after every update.

        @ZodiacSun If and when Chromium has such feature, then Opera probably will have too.

          Do you know about CL Switches |--disk-cache-dir?

          The shortcut will stay active after updates.

              try a free ram disk software and install the portable on it..

              but only if ya got sum Physical Ram to spare.. would be like a ssd in a way perhaps..

              wish too that all opera browser had an easier way to set cache location on a different drive.. but leocg is right

                I wonder why the update would mess with the symbolic link. I'd investigate that.
