Dear colleague,
Memory consumption, instability and crashes are happening after synchronization and are not as relevant as design flaws in the settings and in the synchronization of browser data and settings itself, this is the biggest problem and which apparently never had the development attention, as it was very inefficient.
I've been using Opera for many, many years, but with each "update" it gets worse, heavier and heavier, consuming more memory and processing and less efficient. In my opinion, the development team works hard to make it worse than the previous version. previous. The "improvements" actually ruin the browser, the concern with efficiency, lightness, low consumption and usability is almost nil, for years the configuration page is one of the undeniable examples of this, because every time you access a configuration subframe as per example the sub-configuration of the sidebar and you click on return to continue configuring the other options it does not return to where you were, but to the top of the configuration page and does this in all sub-options causing the user an unnecessary waste of time and irritating.
Account synchronization in the browser is equally inefficient, as it does not recover the user's full settings, making the synchronization service a real joke, as its reason for existing "synchronize user data" is not fulfilled, as after losing an entire time configuring, creating an account to supposedly synchronize your configuration work, is ineffectively null, because right after synchronizing, what you disabled in the previous configuration is there, enabled and disrespecting your right not to use it, it is as if the developer was saying that he doesn't respect you, that what you as a user want doesn't matter to him, nor to the development team. Whether or not these statements of mine will be taken into account by the Opera team I don't know, what I do know is that there seems to be no one concerned with what the user needs and that there is no team or team that controls "Quality" of this browser, which I am no longer recommending to my clients for the same reasons above.
But why are all the flags showing the option = On and not Off, as defined in the configuration?
From the memory and processing consumption this appears to be running even if I disable it.

@leocg said in Why does Opera have so much garbage and processes to collect information from users?:
@ssi-marcelo Regarding processes, you can use menu > developer> task manager or shift + ESC to see the processes running in Opera, as already said several times.

It really should have been said, but what does it really show if not even the command line processes are shown?
Another detail, even in this process highlighted for example, with PID 2028, despite having been deactivated continue-shopping, continue-on-booking, cashback among others, I deactivate practically everything, I mean, I thought I deactivated, the real command line of this process copied by Process Lasso, it shows that they continue to be active in the background despite user settings, how do you explain this?
Here is the cammand line of process ID 2028 for an example.

In Windows task manager the command line appears different or incomplete, is this for the user not to realize what is actually being loaded when he uses Opera?
Okay I will, but how many users actually do this?
I think it has to be shown when you install it, clearly and objectively, without fine print or asterisks that lead to endless pages or a bible of information that 98% of users don't have time to read.
I'm trying to use the latest version of Opera GX, but it seems that even when I try to configure it to not invade privacy or usurp processing power, it keeps using countless processes just to collect information from users in my view, there's so much garbage in the .json files dedicated to "Doubtful Partners" who absurdly steal memory, processing and collect information behind users' backs, so I wonder, are you paid to cheat users and use hardware and user resources to mine money from your "Doubtful Partners"?
I disabled all the continue shopping settings and all the crap available in the settings, I edited all the .json files in the "resources" folder, but it keeps stealing my memory and processing using me as a mule to guarantee revenue or whatever with this processes directed to AliExpress, Amazon, Booking, among others.
Either you indicate a solution for this or I will uninstall this "Phishing Browser" that you call Opera GX, I tried to use the other Opera browsers and they all do the same thing, did any user see that their computer is being used as a bot without being informed, in my view this is totally dishonest on Opera's part.
ChatGPT tell me to edit the "Preferences" file on "%AppData%\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable" It will work?

Waiting for your answer...
Why do you leave such outdated and vulnerable software still available for download, if there are not even security updates available for it, I find this a lack of respect for users, if they no longer want to continue the project, for lack of competence, discontinue downloading too, as continuing to allow downloading something that is vulnerable and potentially harmful to users is also your responsibility.
Hi guys!
I'm using the new Opera Neon, and he's really surprising me, is very fast, easy to use and really seems to be the browser reference in innovation and great look.
I wonder if it is no way to synchronize with the Opera Account, to be able to use the information saved on it.
Another thing I would like to know is if you're working on his translation to Portuguese of Brazil, because I can't wait to be able to indicate it to all my customers.
I look forward to great news.
A big hug and congratulations for doing something really new and amazing! :cheers:
