at least where the system resources are concerned

Do you have an issue with page faulting? If not it doesn't matter. If the ram is there its to be used, provided the coding is efficient. Unused ram is wasted ram.

If you can, try to process your data in ram. Its fastest.

youre carrying wood into forrest
If chrome takes ram it forces the system to use swap file, which loads up the drive and slows all operations. its the principle of the thing! I have issue of having sofware junk up my pc when i dont ( didnt) have to. Opera kept the resources lean and did not waste them. wasted ram is as wasted as unused one, but since the browser is only one of the activities simultaneously running, its the share of the cake it fills that annoys me. and we are told resources are being freed by moving to big brother googles chromoid clone

Moving to Webkit/Blink was a good idea, it will ensure great compatibility and allow the Opera devs to focus on browser features rather than engine development. They just need to get the features back in there.

aye, and the focus on the browser features bereft us of all the features it had. now it is no better than chrome

I used opera for the very reason that it was not compatible - less spam, less crap jumping out of thin air, less spying by the google almighty. Why oh why have you abandoned us, developers! I already hate chrome thank you very much, and now my opera which was with me since version 3 is gone for good and turned chromish, with all the feats( notes, mail) which made it so lovely and easy to work with dead as a dodo.
I loved opera as it was for 12 years with incremental, but continual improvements. Now i do not think i want to use it anymore.
I realize very well my post is not one of the most constructive ones, but I had to tell it to you. You have traded a legend with devoted fans for another chrome clone, which are heaps of out there.

I will miss my opera 10 a lot, friends
