@leocg I'd like to add some more information about this issue. The RAM usage (or memory leak?) happens mainly when YouTube is on an open tab, depending on the length of the video the RAM usage can differ between 8%-97% at random intervals or at any time. I watch a lot of podcast stuff on YouTube that are over an hour to 3 hours and sometimes watch smaller length videos - 8min-25min for example. I have noticed my RAM usage significantly being used when watching YouTube and no other programs open in the background. Another issue is I don't know how many other sites or programs inside Opera GX that causes a huge spike in RAM usage or a memory leak, it could well be my computer but I'm not really sure.
Here are my computers specs below:
