Every time I click a link in an email, Opera opens and displays

"[site address] is blocked

ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT"

Which extension? And it isn't blocked, as 2 seconds later the message goes away and the page loads normally. What the hell?

@hucker Does anybody know why Opera decided to not have support available for things like this? Well actually nothing in the Opera Browsing universe is actually given any form of support by them. Why? I mean it is the best browser but from time to time one wants help. Really we need support to come into existence in my humble opinion.
Maybe, if you did not do it already, try to empty browsing history and if that fails try an uninstall reinstall. Best of luck

@drbeak I need the history there it's very useful. Uninstalling and reinstalling is too much hassle. It seems to have stopped doing it again. It seems to be sporadic. We usually get good support in here by a couple of knowledgeable people, not sure if they work for Opera. I guess with free software we shouldn't expect much help. No idea where they get money from.

Although I usually do not like cynical answers, I can say just this: if not satisfied with Opera, they will gladly return your payment to them.

In other words - never expect any free official support from free [as beer] services or software. Some companies offer support, some not - depends on their business model and whatnot else. Most likely losing few customers (with their tracking data) is cheaper for Opera than keeping qualified support personnel on paylist.

@hucker What mail service? They may use a redirector (or the sender might) which either Opera or an extension considers as probable tracking. (Yes, some of the built-in features are treated as extensions by the error handler).

I've seen it on a number of emails, from the likes of Ebay etc. But it's happening on almost every one, and it wasn't doing so a week ago.

@hucker Did you try disabling extensions and/or blocking on that site? Block lists get updated, as does Opera itself.

Too intermittent for me to troubleshoot it. It only delays the page by a second or two anyway.
