Opera GX: Taming the RAM-Guzzling Beast (Without Sacrificing Your Memes)
Yo, fellow Opera GX warriors! We all know this browser - sleek, stylish, with more extensions than a spider in a sock drawer. But let's be honest, sometimes it devours RAM like a bottomless brunch after finals week. Fear not, brave netizens, for today we embark on a hilarious quest: How to Limit RAM Usage in Opera GX Without Turning Your Tabs into PowerPoint Slides.

| How To Limit Ram Usage In Opera Gx |
Step 1: Meet GX Control, Your RAM-Slaying Sidekick
Open Opera GX. Now, on the left side, there's this spiffy gauge icon called GX Control. Click it. It's your gateway to resource management nirvana.
Sub-quest: Don't get sidetracked by the cool animations and sound effects. Focus, grasshopper!
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Step 2: Unleash the RAM Limiter (But Don't Go Overboard)
Scroll down. Bam! RAM Limiter. Slide that bad boy to the desired RAM budget. Remember, setting it too low is like trying to build a sandcastle in a hurricane. You'll just end up frustrated and covered in wet disappointment.
Pro Tip: Opera GX needs about 0.8GB to breathe. Don't be like that friend who eats all the pizza crusts - leave it some RAM wiggle room.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
Step 3: Hard Limit? More Like "Don't Be Greedy" Limit
Tick the Hard Limit checkbox. Think of it as a bouncer at an all-you-can-eat meme buffet. Once Opera GX hits its RAM limit, it stops stuffing its face and lets other programs breathe. No more browser-induced system slowdowns, just smooth sailing (unless you have dial-up, then it's more like choppy kayaking).

Step 4: Extensions? Tame the Tab-Happy Horde
Extensions are like those friends who always order extra fries and expect you to chip in. They're awesome, but resource-hungry. Disable the ones you barely use. Seriously, who needs a "virtual cat on your keyboard" extension after the 17th cat video of the day?
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
Bonus Round: Close those unused tabs, you tab hoarders! Each one is a tiny RAM gremlin, nibbling away at your precious resources. Free yourself from the tab-chaotic abyss!
Remember, Young Padawan...
Limiting RAM usage is an art, not a science. Experiment, tweak, and find the sweet spot where your memes load fast and your computer doesn't sound like a jet engine taking off. May your browsing be smooth, your memes plentiful, and your RAM usage under control!
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
P.S. If all else fails, just blame it on the "gaming browser" thing. Works every time.
