      Same problems here. Sites flicker and dissapear.
      If I disable the adblocking some sites that previously dissapeared display, others still dont.
      I did not perform any updates, opera just started this behaviour a couple of days ago, so what changed? Does the adblocker refer to an online database that since recently describes some pieces of code as ads (as someone noted: even opera.com wont load)?

      I will study the instructions here and see if they work for me, but also I would like to understand what causes the problem, clearly more people are affected. Peace!

        I been using various Mac computers, for the last 15 years, and never once have I ever suffered from any kind of problem or virus, etc. Version: 37.0.2178.54 - Opera is up to date
        Update stream: Stable
        System: Mac OS X 10.8.5 64-bit

        I started to experience the same problem, yesterday, on my Mac. I get a quick flash of a website, then a blank screen. Strangely enough, OANDA, the currency Converter website, loads up, no problem, and still works. https://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/

        The Ad Blocker keeps popping up, on websites that it never used to. Thankfully, Google and Gmail are not unaffected, but I've had to use Chrome, to come on here, to register the problem.

        I've also started getting a plague of unwanted advertisement websites repeatedly popping up, mainly from those extremely annoying MacKeeper people, who don't seem to understand the meaning of 'Thanks, but NO THANKS!', and think that I should handover control of my computer to their software, carte blanche, for an ongoing monthly fee. I am still getting their Backup programme starting automatically, and invading my computer. I have to use 'Force Quit', in order to stop it dragging down my CPU.

        I like Opera, and really need to get it back working, again. Hopefully, some 'knowing person', will figure out it, and post a solution that doesn't loose all bookmarks. Cheers everyone.

          I have mine sort of working again after deleting the opera folder in prefs and restarting it, although Facebook is missing the icons along the blue bar at the top. I didn't have time to try to understand the stuff about the cache, but I did spend a bit of time researching alternative browsers. If this really a widespread issue perhaps some kind of fix can be offered via an update, rather than people having to scrabble around hiding and unhiding system files and so on (and risk losing bookmarks gathered over perhaps years) when in a lot of cases users are perhaps not confident to get involved. Just my 2pth.

          PS Interestingly I have also had some issues with 'malwertising' which took over one of the sites I run, from pretty much the same time Opera went wrong, although I don't usually use Opera to view or administer that site, and I suspect the issue is something to do with Adsense code.

              Hello xgipper,

              Everyone's '2pth' can help to build up a picture of what's going wrong.

              I'm not sure what you mean by 'I have mine sort of working again after deleting the opera folder in prefs and restarting it'.

              Which 'prefs' are you talking about?

              Cheers

                Sorry realised that was vague but unable to edit. Deleted this: Profile: /Users/my user name/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera

                but browser isn't really working again sufficiently: the few sites I use Opera for are either not rendering correctly, or reverting to a white screen as previously reported (same in private window), so stopped using this browser for now and reverting to an old Safari.

                Ridiculously, can't update Safari due to running Mac OS 10.8.5, so I have to put up with the mobile verion of Twitter among othr things. But that's another story. Will invest more time into researching any other possible browsers sometime, or may just have to have a windows PC running at the same time to view some sites.

                  Hi,

                  You have to customize homepage parameters in your browser.

                    For those with problems test with the above solutions.
                    For those complaining with some "hard work" check OMenu > Help >> Find Solutions

                    For Xgipper, It's not possible to upgrade your MacOS!? Or use paralels?
                    Maybe it's worth than use another PC for some sites.

                    Also disable the AdBlocker if u are using it, with a clean profile everything should works well.

                      you can test with a private window and or cleaning browsing data.the "date cache" suggestion was unnecessary).It might have been helpful if you had mentioned that one should delete the undated folder in application support.

                        I've faced problems where clean cache and others were not enough.

                        Undated folder should remain until check, also it has some data you may need.

                        Can be deleted once everything it's ok.
