      A workaround has been pushed from server which should have addressed this issue. This will be later followed up by client hotfix.

                @pc-net Not, it doesn't. Stop spreading misinformation.

                @gmiazga Thank you for keeping us updated. However, I hope issues like these get resolved faster. This is something that could make you lose users for good.

                      It seems that it happens less often now, but it still happens.

                                @gmiazga Good morning

                                I have the version of Opera 72.0.3815.211 and I am very unhappy because the loading of various pages keeps crashing.

                                This error does not occur in Firefox, Microsof Edge, Google Chrome. Please solve this problem.

                                I completely reinstalled the browser, activated it as a allowed exception in Windows 10, accepted all cookies and besides, I have a working system (Win10 2004) I only have Windows Defender antivirus and 1000 Mbit LAN installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled and this error continues.
                                I am asking for a solution to this problem.

                                Regards and thank you!

                                  It seems like the issue is now resolved, ingenuity at its finest.

                                          sorry, I mixed some information/observation with newer version number (might happen through browser-restart before copying version number) 🤦♂ ...

                                          in version 72.0.3815.320 I can't reproduce this issue ... works fine for me 🙂
