      I've just swapped to Opera which is now my favourite browser, except it wont work on a site I use most days. Unless there's a cure it'll be back to Firefox.

      The problem site is bbcgoodfood.com which when a link is loaded the page displays for less than a second and then goes blank and stays blank.

      I've disabled ALL my extensions and this makes no difference. I've installed Google Chrome and the problem doesn't happen there. Where else should I look?

      I've put up a screen recording of this at www.afoodiediary.com/bbcgoodfood.mp4

        For the specific page in in the video, it's Opera's tracking protection that's causing it. Click the adblocker icon in Opera's address field and turn of tracking protection for the site.

          @burnout426 Hi. The adblocker icon is Adguard, Opera's adblocker is already turned off since I know and prefer Adguard. As I wrote "disabling ALL extensions", which includes Adguard, does not cure the problem. I could do a screen recording of all of that if you have any doubts about it. Or, have I misunderstood you? Is there an Opera icon I'm not seeing? Could you take a screenshot from my video and circle it? Thanks.

            @burnout426 I've found 'Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic' under Cookies and Data in Settings. In case you meant that it was already unchecked.

              When you go to the site, look at the blue icon with a white check in it in the address field. That's Opera's adblocker/tracking protection. It looks like it's on for the site. You can turn it off just for the site by clicking it. Or, goto the URL opera://settings/privacyProtection and make sure "block trackers" is off.

                @burnout426 Got it! I've turned it off in the settings link now.

                Thank you, if you hadn't solved this for me it would have meant uninstalling Opera.
