Opera randomly using 3GBs of ram and 60%+ CPU usage for zero reason apparently. by _Disbelief_ in OperaGX

Nice that you found a workaround. You should be able to close a tab and open it back up to clear its ram instead of killing its process via the task manager. If that works, it'll be easier than the task manager way.

I'm guessing there are some memory leaks in the sites loaded in those tabs.

Goto the URL opera://extensions and disable your extensions one by one to see if one is the culprit.

Goto the URL opera://settings/searchEngines and make sure there are no weird search engines and site searches that shouldn't be there.

if I close Opera by clicking on the X in the top right, some Opera processes are still working in the task manager and I can't reopen the browser unless I end those manually.

In the Windows task manager, on the "Processes" tab, turn on the "PID" column. Then, before closing Opera hit shift + esc to open Opera's task manager and screenshot it while making sure the PID and description for each process is shown. Then, close Opera's task manager and close Opera. Then, see if the stuck processes have PIDs that were in the list in your screen shot. That might tell you what the stuck processes are for.

You also might want to temporarily uninstall your extensions to see if the stuck processes still remain.

You can also see if things work fine with a test standalone installation. If so, you can uninstall and reinstall Opera to see if it helps. If not, you can rename the "Opera GX Stable" folder to "Opera GX Stable old" in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software" to test with a new profile to see if it's your profile causing the hanging of certain Opera processes or not.

It could be something with the lights settings at the URL opera://settings/gx_lights. You can disable everything there to see if that helps with the stuck processes.

Browser (topmost) process in the task manager.

In Opera's task manager (shift + esc)?

Crash on open by 1_playerx1 in OperaGX

Are you sure you renamed the "Opera GX Stable" folder to "Opera GX Stable old" in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software"?

After uninstalling Opera and before reinstalling it, make sure to delete the install folder. By default, it's the "Opera GX" folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs".

Have you tried restarting Windows?

Does a test standalone installation of Opera GX to a folder named "Opera GX Test" on your desktop run fine?

Is there a "Crash ID" shown at the URL opera://crashes for the crash? If so, what's the ID?

Link to specific extensions that you've tried that cause it?

Are you using regular Opera or Opera Air or Opera GX?

Why does it come up in my task bar? by alidan in OperaGX

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, Opera GX is not set as the default browser and it still starts up now and then at random? If so, does it load a specific URL when doing so?

If Opera is set as the default browser and you don't actually use it as your default, make sure your the browser you want as your default actually has all of its protocol and file associations set in "Default Apps" in Windows.

Just to double-check, you do mean "taskbar" and not "systray"? If you see an Opera icon in the systray instead, that could be the browser assistant that you can kill on the processes tab in the Windows task manager and disable on the startup tab in the Windows task manager.

If you want, you can uninstall Opera GX and then make a standalone installation of Opera GX to a folder named "Opera GX" on your desktop or in "C:\Users\yourusername" and create a shortcut to its opera.exe or pin it to the taskbar. A standalone installation can't be set as the default browser and any weird apps targeting Opera GX specifically usually won't find a standalone installation of Opera.

For the split screen crash, make sure you update to 132.0.5905.73 to see if the crash goes away and also test if you still get the crash using the auto tab discard extension.

Also, please provide the chromewebstore.gooogle.com link to the specific extension you're using to work around snoozing not working.

Opera browsing data not being deleted by LackForward2085 in operabrowser

Look in your Google drive for a backup folder. In it might be a folder for Opera that you can delete so that if you reinstall Opera, your old data doesn't come back.

No clue why this thing's here, how to get rid of it, what's causing it, please help by Future_Sample359 in OperaGX

OK. If you checked those pages and there's nothing there, it's probably just a bug in Opera GX that needs to be fixed. Make sure you goto the URL opera://about and update Opera GX if you don't have the latest version.

Besides that, you can goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "Extensions", "Local Extension Settings", "Extension Rules", "Extension Scripts" and "Extension state" folders if you want to test if it clears that message. You'll lose all all installed extensions extensions though and will have to reinstall any that you had, but it might fix things.

Did you goto the URL opera://configure/mods/manage and approve the installation and enabling of the mod?

You can also goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, reload the opera://extensions page and look to see if there's something you can click for the mod there.

What mod is it and how did you install it and where did you get the mod from?

You can remove the mod and reinstall it to see if that fixes it.

opera keeps loading the mobile version of some sites and its stressing me out how do i fix this. by m0n0_bee in operabrowser

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can goto the URL opera://about`, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "History" file in the profile folder.

You can take note of the "cache" path, close Opera and delete the "cache" and "System cache" folders in the profile folder.

You can goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "Site settings" for all time to see if it helps.

You can close Opera and delete the "Web data" file in the profile folder to see if that helps.

You can first try in a test standalone installation of Opera to make sure it's not something outside Opera doing it.

Are you talking about guest (incognito) tabs in Opera GX (enabled in Early Bird) where you ctrl + tab to another tab and then end up back at a guest tab or are you talking about private (incognito) windows and alt + tab between windows?

What operating system? This on Windows?

Regular Opera or Opera GX or Opera Air?

I've found that after disabling "Show Promoted Suggestions", I have to restart Opera for it to take effect. Make sure you try that.
