<![CDATA[opera crashing on youtube]]>A few times a day, Opera crashes while I'm watching youtube. I press skip ad and then it gets stuck. When I try to refresh the page, ram usage keeps going up to 100% and crashes.

I will also suggest to disable all the extensions and then make a try because sometimes an
an extension may be causing such a problem.

Thanks for your reply and insight!
I'm not using Enhancer but I was using Adblock Plus altogether with Opera's adblock. Disabling Adblock plus my problem completely disappeared! Hope yours too

Thanks so much! 👏

If you are using Enhancer for YouTube extension like me, turn on the adblock in the Enhancer and turn off the opera adblocker for youtube.

I did it here without success.

In my experience, the crashes are happening when scrolling down youtube's first page. I also noticed that my vga's driver is crashing at the same time. Maybe there's a cause/effect relationship. I'll continue searching and keep you posted.

Dunno if it helps, but my config is: Ryzen 3600, 32gb 3600Mhz, VGA Radeon 5600XT. Windows 10 Pro Build 19042, Opera 73.

I might have time to look for a fix on saturday
