      So I'm just enjoying my alone time watching anime and God my disk usage & and ram spikes up and stays there for like 5 mins periodically waiting for the computer to unwind

      I know I got some small amount of ram of 4GB but I wanna believe my browser alone can't consume all of it if its the only thing running on a single tab. I really dislike rebooting the computer in overall get design great features I'll keep showing support where I can master it.

            @psycedelic windows 10, I ended up moving Opera Gx to my external harddrive. It's the only way I use it now also set as a my default. So whenever it misbehaved I would just unplug the hdd
