I've just migrated to Firefox. That bug makes Opera unusable with Youtube in my case. If I open Youtube on the Opera, it makes a new Opera system process. Even if I close it, the process reopen when I run Youtube on the other Chromum based browser.

My Opera runs at 2000mb or 1000mb per day, but for me it's no longer a problem as I've upgraded the RAM in my computer, taking up only 40/30% of all the memory. It's still a pain, but I've got used to it.

I have the same problem. Opera keep consuimng RAM when I open Youtube page. ~5MB/s Just open main page. I am not even playing any video.

What you can do is to try to avoid it, if you know what triggers the memory leak.

A tab with media (video mainly) can take more than 500MB on a not so high resolution.

Unfortunately if it is a bug in the underlying Chromium engine then it may be up to Chromium to fix.

Having said that ... it sounds to me like the browser is trying to keep the entire stream in memory, which is guaranteed to overwhelm RAM after only a few minutes.
