Anyone try Opera (Browser)

Hey NA,



I have had it with Chrome. It literally eats 6gb of my ram with just 4-5 tabs open. And not all at once, it is almost like it has a leak. 



It makes using it a chore because i have to always make sure i am closing tabs and rebooting it, or using memory sweeper.



I was looking into Opera and it looks and sounds promising. Adblock built in is a nice feature. As well as a few other features. 



Has anyone here used it? Do you like it? Should i be aware of anything? Like any security issues?



Thanks a bunch

    Opera is great if you're worried about taking up resources. I don't have much experience with it though, I stick with Firefox personally

    Firefox for me as well. Don't know much about Opera, but Chrome is a crazy resource hog.

    I have had over 20 tabs open in Chrome for weeks. No problems with memory.

    ^lol Looks about right.



    Hmm. I will have to check Opera out and see. From what i hear it is a lot like Chrome, but without the tendency to hog memory.



    I didn't like firefox much, but let me give it another go.

    Opera was awesome when it had the presto engine.

    I used it for a while after it moved to Chromium but dropped it altogether after I read the news that the Chinese were trying to buy it.

    It is a bit better than Chrome when it comes to memory management.



    These days I stick to Edge, Firefox and Vivaldi (which is another Chromium based browser from the ex-Opera creator and other Opera ex-employees).

    There's also Midori Web Browser or Iron Web Browser.

    How much Memory do you have?



    I downloaded a suspension extension (Fun to say) that suspends tabs after a few minutes saving memory. Seems to be doing well so far, but Chrome always does well when first opened. It is after hours of use, the memory leaks.
