I haven’t seen any performance issues while operating without resource limitations. Without any resource limitation, Opera GX used about a quarter less RAM than Google Chrome! Interestingly, there does seem to be a higher power usage with Opera GX vs Chrome. The number of tasks fluctuated in each browser, including things like crash reports. Interestingly, both tabs had the same exact tabs open but the task manager showed 6-9 additional tasks open in GX. To test the RAM usage, I opened my typical Chrome tabs in both Google Chrome and Opera GX simultaneously. Coming from Chrome where I regularly have 40 tabs open that consume about 4 GB of RAM, this was a fascinating proposal! The browser lets you set RAM & CPU limits while identifying which tabs are pulling the most resources from your PC.
