<![CDATA[Immediately runs up 60 GBs of RAM!]]>This is so ridiculous.... Within a couple minutes of opening, Opera becomes "unresponsive", while the app uses up about 100% of my CPU, and the "Opera Helper GPU" alone, is showing it as using 130 GBs of RAM, which is of course impossible, as I only have 64 on my Mac. But it was still rising as I sat watching it, despite nothing at all streaming, but I decided to just stop it before my entire computer shut down. What is going on with this????
It's been doing this for a number of recent versions, then this most recent one seemed to be working ok, at least for a couple or three days. But today, boom, twice already, it's doing this. Will I ever be able to use this browser?

If things work with the new profile, you start moving folders and files from the old one to the new, one by one, until you find the one to blame.

I downloaded the most recent version, installed it, and yet again, within two minutes, it becomes non-responsive, using 35 Gigs of RAM, especially the GPU aspect, which was totally out of control. Here's my Activity Monitor noting the outrageous RAM & CPU Usage. And it won't stay open and functioning long enough for me to do anything at all. Do I have any options, beyond trashing the app, and using a different browser?
What gets me, as well, is that Opera runs fine on my older Macbook Pro, running on High Sierra, but on my newer iMac, on Big Sur, impossible to use.!
