I Crashed Opera
Opera the browser that doesn’t have the memory leaks of Firefox. Well I’ve managed to crash it. I was curious just how much stress this browser can take so a few days ago I went through about 30 pages on Digg.com and opened up the links that interested me. I was quite behind in my digging if you will, and this time instead of using Firefox I used Opera. I am trying to give Opera a fair chance in my browsing experience to help learn more about it. Well this browser has failed me. I had probably 100 tabs open in 3 separate windows and went to bed. The next morning I awoke to find Opera memory usage well over 1.2gigs! I was at that point using my page file and my computer was running like ass. I just went into the task manager in windows and killed the Opera process. I can do this in Firefox and re-launch, my session is saved due to Session Saver and I am able to go about my business. Not with Opera I opened it back up and …NOTHING! I was so pissed two days of work down the shitter. I had research on future blog articles among other very important windows open and it was all gone. So I am currently back tracking through over fifty pages on Digg to try to recover the lost work. I hate Opera at this point in history. Probably in a few decades I won’t hate it so much. Someone please give me a reason to try it again? For the record I also must say I put Firefox through this endless abuse of tons of windows open day in day out, sure it has memory leaks but I’ve never had an issue like this before. End Rant.
