Abnormal Disk Writing

I've noticed some OperaGX processes using a lot of DiskIO (both read and write). Right now, I have one Opera.exe process at 70GB read and 30GB written. Task Manager tells me the page it's looking at is "https://www.powercolor.com/product-details125.htm". This page is not even open. I've closed it down and it has still been read/writing for the last hour (I don't know what the numbers were when I closed this tab). You can enable seeing what page the process is by enabling the "CommandLine" column in Task Manager.
Why is OperaGX going nuts my C: drive on a website that hasn't been open for an hour? Seems like there's a bug where an Opera process gets stuck reading/writing when you close it and never kills the process afterwards. All these writes are very bad for SSDs that only have a finite amount of writes you can do.

Check shift + esc in Opera to see if it shows as better description for that process. You can also enable the PID column in the Windows task manager to match it up with the PID in Opera's task manager.
You could also load Resource Monitor in Windows. On the disk tab, you can filter on the opera.exe process with that PID and then see what what files it's trying to read and write from etc. Might lead you somewhere.
