Re: Out of memory

Version Info
Windows 11 / Opera One(version: 100.0.4815.76)

Issue
Opera Browser tab stops and reports 'out of memory' when streaming video from various & typical sources e.g. YouTube, Commercial TV streaming services, SBS & ABC dot com.au etc.

Issue only occurred after an update to Opera.

Resolution / Work Around
Simply remove some of the (unused) shortcuts from the Opera Menu sidebar, especially the more Processing & Data hungry stuff like Messengers, particularly if you don't use them, and of course Extensions, particularly if they are semi-dodgy.

Since removing a couple of Messenger shortcuts from my Sidebar all is good. I guess you could try assigning addition memory, probably caching to Opera, so it has more headroom to deal with video streaming, though Opera should be able to stream 1 YouTube stream in the mix for instance at full HD without crapping itself.
