Out of memory messages in Opera can interfere with your browsing and cause your tabs to crash. This happens due to your cache, adblockers, or sidebar shortcuts.
Let’s see how we can fix this.
What can I do if Opera runs out of memory?
1. Delete the browser’s cache
2. Disable sidebar shortcuts
Some of these services can be resource-intensive to run in the background, thus leading to this issue.
3. Disable adblock and tracking protection
Many reported that various video streaming websites will cause your memory usage to go up if you’re using an adblocker, so try disabling it and check if that helps. If it does, maybe add that website to the list of exceptions.
Is Opera heavy on RAM?
Usually not, but that depends on the number of open tabs, websites open and extensions that are running in the background.
