@mateusdrte13 Any difference if you disable all extensions?

@leocg no, just for a better way to control my sound and also to read text from photos (https://webextension.org/listing/ocr.html) and (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/volume-master-controlador/jghecgabfgfdldnmbfkhmffcabddioke)

@leocg Ok, so 200 is the standard for just a regular tab, I tested this and a tab with nothing on it is around 500 MBs, I know it's not a huge deal because I have a lot of memory, but I still want to know why its more than double the normal amount.

@jakobe12 There isn't a standard number, the amount of memory used may depends on a lot of factors.

Opera GX is using high memory ram in the recent updates (it was fine last month) well looks like we can't use a same tab to watch videos, if you open a video you need to close the tab and open the new video on new tab to reset the memory. hope you fix this memory leak. i have 16gb ram and sometimes i have out of memory message. below a print of gx control

@leocg is there anything i can do? i've restarted my computer and reinstalled opera, but it hasn't worked. youtube is getting slower every day and is consuming more and more memory

@mateusdrte13 Some people are saying that disabling adblocker may help.

@leocg so I'm saying the opposite, nothing has changed
