@burnout426 I long ago put my email link on my speed dial page, and have been using it for a long time without any problem. But now, when I click on the link for it on my speed dial, it opens and immediately crashes.

Another instance of my Opera browser not working is when I click on my usual link to an ongoing ZOOM meeting, the connection crashes right away. To allow connection, I have to copy the url that appears on the crash page and paste it into my FF browser, which does the job properly, no crashing.

@aaronaf If you open up a new tab, type the site's address in the address field and press enter, does the page still cause Opera to crash or does it load fine then? If the former, it has nothing to do with your speed dials specifically and this is all just about some sites crashes Opera for you.

@aaronaf Try the test standalone installation and previously suggested. Whether the sites crash there or not is important to know.

@burnout426 First I am doing the crash log thing. I got a log showing 38 page crashes. By the way, it's a page crash, and always not a browser crash, at least not recently; sometime opera does crash when memory runs low. (Incidentally, is there a way to get an upgrade to enhance my browser's memory capacity? I am getting popup warnings more and more frequently lately saying memory is low, and that usually precedes a real browser crash. My temporary fix is just to close the browser and reboot my pc.)

Here is my most recent page crash ID number:
CrashID=6222269f-d804-47ce-9c0e-1a7912221112 .

I'll do the standalone thing next.

@aaronaf Is the tracking blocker enabled by chance? If so, try disabling it to see if the is any difference.

@leocg My tracking blockers are always on deliberately, to help assure privacy. Why leave them open??

@burnout426 My opera browser began working flawlessly this morning! However, that turned out to be short-lived! It is now unresponsive. This would normally be a signal for me to restart my computer and hope for the best. But I don't have to do so urgently now that I have a working FireFox browser.

Fortunately, my FF is still running OK, with sporadic crashes. But at least it has the courtesy of acknowledging them and providing easy ways to recover. Opera is not that user friendly. Its recover program is very limited, and usually does not work.

@aaronaf To check if the crashes stop.

Someone checked that ID for you. Seems related to the adblocker (at least partially).

@burnout426 Well, whatever it was, the problem seems to have been fixed, at least temporarily! I made no changes. I would sure like to know what was done, if anything, to fix the problem. Maybe whoever checked that ID for me made a few tweaks remotely?

@aaronaf Opera probably just issued an update with a fix for everyone.
