Just a quick update: I have been using Firefox since I made this post and have not encountered the same problem (I am also a long time Opera user). Surprised there hasn't been a response from someone at Opera.

Opera for WindowsOpera Makes My Laptop Fan Come On
I have the following recurring issue: I open a bunch of tabs (like 10, plus the 2 I have pinned) and after a while my laptop (Surface Laptop 4, Win 11, 64bit, 16GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5) fan comes on - fast. I'll close all the tabs except for a few and it makes no difference. I'll close Opera entirely and eventually the fan will turn off. I'll open Opera again - same few handful of tabs - and the fan come straight back on. I just switched to Firefox with the same tabs open and no fan. I'll stick with Firefox for now to see if I have the same issues, but I'm curious to know if there are settings in Opera which I can change to prevent this? I'm also wondering what my expectations should be around how many tabs I can have open at one time. Thanks!
