[Suggestion]Keep Opera in memory option.

@JayNightmare But Opera starts instantly if it's already running. All I need is it to stay in memory. Windows will swap it to disk if it's not used and I run out of RAM. It doesn't have to do things in the background, just wait until I open it. This could surely be an option. There is an extension which makes it minimize to tray, but this requires me to remember not to press close, and also the tab stay open which I don't want.

@hucker This looks more as a suggestion.

You call it Opera One, but the Opera download page refers to it as simply Opera.

Yes it is! But there is no feedback/suggestion box any more!

@hucker Opera doesn’t currently have this “stay resident” feature in the same way Edge’s Startup Boost works as it seems like Opera hasn’t prioritized this yet.

But I agree, this would make a great option to have as a native feature, like a simple "keep in memory" toggle or something like that

@JayNightmare Opera has had a quickstart option, though several people complained about it in the past. When I'm on my computer rather than my tablet I'll have to see if it is still listed in Settings.

Try this:

opera://settings/?search=start

See the option "Run when my computer starts"? Enable that.

Thanks, I didn't see that because from the main forum page I go straight to opera for windows

Yes I know it's on the far right there, but I didn't look over there, I expected suggestions not to be inside opera for windows and looked down the main list.

But won't that just open opera? What I'm looking for is the code to be running in the background but without a window open, so it's ready for me to use when I want to. And I can close it and it's still ready to open quickly.

@hucker Opera would need to implement that feature.

@hucker Try it. Running in the background is still running.

I don't understand, I want Opera to be running but not visibly
