feel the banning for capitalisation is absurd, but seems in keeping with current product's performance, shame there's not the same attention and effort applied to product shortcomings as to grammar critique
have tried other browsers and decided that vivaldi is vastly superior to opera, and i hope i won't need to complain in capitals or lower case. so opera will be going in the bin

@Darkusnoid simple answer, have a look at Brave, low CPU, low memory, quick.
It's so quick it's safe to shut down before searches

General agreement with the thread concept. The more recent upgrades of Opera Hog CPU on a regular basis, internet banking is becoming a trial as often the CPU hogging means the transaction times out before the CPU drops to less than 100%
Doesn't happen in Chrome so unless a reliable working fix comes up soon I'm going to Junk opera as unusable and revert to Chrome.
I might even give MS Edge a go, it can't be any worse than present Opera versions

in VBS, lit is possible to use a small browser window using IE as follows
Set objExplorer = CreateObject("INternetExplorer.Application")

I guess there is a similar statement for using Opera as the host prowser, can anyone tell me what the CreateObject() statement should be, I tried Opera.Application and that doesn't work
