My Opera stable starts crashing from time to time.

My Opera stable starts crashing from time to time. So I decided to try Next and Developer and I discovered that they can be sometimes more stable and sometimes - crashes. Like when I try to fullscreen video on YouTube - both Next and Developer crash (stable still works on YouTube).
I'm wonder why my favorite browser starts working like that. I never complain about Opera until now.
Someone in different topic suggested someone else making "fresh" profile. It's kind of a joke, right? People configure first their browsers and then must delete everything and start from scratch? No way. And how exactly new profile can help? Is there any option in old profile like "made my opera crash - enable/disable"? If no, then please tell me what in old profile, old settings etc. may causes crashes in new version of Opera? I would never suggest delete anything, especially when Developer and Next are beta releases and what is the point of testing if someone uses workaround like that?
I'm also very happy with this new, modern version numbers. I remember when I was using Opera 6. Then Opera 7 was a big improvement. And every new major version of Opera showed something revolutionary (or at least introduces new great options). Now I see that my version of Opera is 110! Why not 1328772845? Increase major version every time you add or delete even single command in Opera code. You'll be winners - bigger number means better browser, isn't? I doubt that anyone can tell difference between Opera 110 and Opera 90. 20 major versons and without changelog users can't tell what is new. Pity.

Many issues may be cause by a broken profile directory.

It's something that you will only find out by testing. Disabling extensions, resetting settings, resetting flags, etc and re-enabling them one by one until you find the one to blame.

Define "broken". What exactly is "broken"? Opera read settings from profile, so no matter what settings will be set there, not a single setting should made Opera crash. Something may not working - that's obvious if your setup it wrong. But crashes? Instead of general "many issues" or "broken" give me an example where any configuration file may cause any program crash (program that is good written). If programmer made settings/configuration files/profile, should be able handle that file no matter how strange it is. You can open any crazy file in picture viewer (like Irfan) and no matter how broken file is - the worst you can get is an information that "file is bad/corrupted". You can't made good written program crash because of that.
