@pavel58 Do see any process being created in Opera's task manager?

@leocg Yes, plenty of new opera processes, appearing and vanishing in a fraction of second.

@pavel58 No, I mean in the internal task manager.

@leocg Me too. See the screenshot of Opera task manager. Many "Utility: Windows Utility" processes, appearing for a while, then vanishing and being replaced by other ones with the same name...

I have been having this problem for months and I usually controlled it by limiting the RAM usage in the GX Control.
Fortunately, I found a solution yesterday that worked on my pc and it also decreased the cpu usage but there is no guarantee that it will work for you but it’s worth a try:- Open flags by using the url chrome://flags
- Search for and enable Hardware-accelerated video decode and Hardware-accelerated video encode
- Switch the Choose ANGLE graphics backend to OpenGL
As you can see in the screenshot below, I have so many tabs open but the RAM or CPU usages haven't sky-rocketed. Before this, the app would have used up 5GB of RAM

@sonwman Video processing/decoding can use lots of CPU.

@leocg why is it so hard for you to accept that maybe the problem Is in fact on Opera’s end?!
In every thread about this topic you keep insisting it is some users settings that are the issue rather than the program itself despite there being Multiple users reporting that this feature is not working as advertised.
Why can’t you accept that? Why insist some one actually did turn off hardware acceleration when they affirmatively stated they have made no changes to their system? Why assume they are either wrong or made the change and forgot? How is that a more likely actuality than “there’s a bug in this application”?
It’s ridiculous

@leocg
after looking around, turns out it was Youtubes live chat causing the ram to be really high, also is 600mb+ standard for opera gx? -

@iwantslxcky Yep, that's normal. I consider it a low RAM usage.
