      Hi! i am extremely new here so i am unsure if i am in the right place. I do apologize.

      Im having an issue with Opera GX core: 109.0.5097.62 using an extreme amount of RAM on the soundcloud website. It only appears to be soundcloud as i can watch youtube videos with minimal RAM usage while playing games. Soundcloud would play songs and keep climbing in RAM, i mean like climbing by 1-5mb every second of a song, it has climbed all the way up to 6gb in a couple minutes. I checked the opera task manager and it seems to only be coming from soundcloud so is this an opera issue, soundcloud issue internally or maybe just an entire RAM issue? Does anyone have any clue on how to fix this? i just want to listen to music while playing games without stuttering from high RAM usage. šŸ˜ž

      Extra info of what ive tried: i have fully reset opera gx and reinstalled, checked for updates, checked my extensions and checked to see if hardware acceleration had gotten enabled, i have also cleared cache.

      Thank you.

        @catharsisded Hi,
        I got the exact same issue, and sometimes even the sound is "breaking" and when moments like this occurs the processor usage bumps by 20% for a second when i observe it onto the task manager. Overall couple sites seems to be a bit laggy. On the other browsers it works well so i guess this build is the issue unfortunatelly.
        Regards

          hello! @kotejichizu

          I am so relieved that i am not the only person having this issue, i also was experiencing that weird sort-of stuttering and "timeout" like pauses in songs or random skips. I thought i was going crazy when it started happening on-top of viewing my RAM usage. I hope this issue gets resolved soon by Opera GX tech people, i love opera and i would rather not go back to using edge.

            Yo @catharsisded ,
            I have this issue with youtube livestreams. submited a ticket and no solution yet. Tried a lot of things even other browsers like chrome with the same result, so now switched to firefox only for livestreams.
            Twich works just fine but i think other "stream" related websites overloads the ram with "something" idk, ads?

            Lets hope for a fast solution.
