I personally have been experiencing this swelling memory problem and the browser crashing often myself!!...
Edit: ran ad-aware after I had been running Opera alone for a month and it found 83 files on my system even though it had been clean before and no other "activex" installs had been put on my system. Plus Opera had been putting up advertisements of very local places at the top of my screen even though i had not filled out in the browser where I live or my zip code.
RESTING IN SUNNY FLORIDA, I was Running Opera on a nephew's system, specifically ver 7.03 US - the adware version. I didn't mind ignoring the ads too much, and even occasionally clicked on a few to feed the clikthru hungry bannerati. Lo and behold, without entering any voluntary location data, and always entering such info in a dodgy fashion when it was a "required field", the banner ads started getting personal, or at least - local, advertising businesses very close by. It seemed as if the browser might be feeding back URL lists, or perhaps, gasp, form field content, or XML. Naw... I thought - not Opera. I like those folks, and have recommended it to so many.
