Gmail does not load until I clean the cookies. But it keeps happening every time! How to prevent it?

TLDR: I don't want to clean the cookies to make Standard view work since this happens whenever I need to reconnect the account. Please, help me!

I use the Gmail Worspace on Opera browser, and from time to time, I need to reconnect my account to prove that I'm still an employee of Worspace I'm in. However, I can only use Gmail with the HTML view right now since the Standard View doesn't load.

I can only make it happen when I clean the cookies. Yet, whenever I need to reconnect my account, the situation starts all over again.

I want to prevent it from happening, but I don't know how to do it. I already contacted the managers from my Workspace, Security team, and Devs, but no one managed to prevent this from happening.

This question was already sent to Google Support, and they told me that Opera does not support Gmail '-' however, I've been using Opera for my work for two years, and this only started to happen a few weeks ago. Maybe it's about the version of the Opera... I'd undergrade it, if it helps...

Do you have the same problem with a test standalone installation?

If not, maybe it's an extension you have instead or Opera's adblocker or you're using Opera's VPN. Or, maybe something is corrupted with your Opera profile.

If it also happens in the test standalone installation, I'd try 2 things (in the test standalone installation first, and then if it works, try in your regular installation):

• When you start Opera, goto the URL opera://browserjs and disable browser.js for the session.

• Install https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher-5/ in Opera, pin its icon to the address bar, click its icon, click edit (the pencil icon), and set the User Agent string to:

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/111.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
  

That will make Opera pretend to be Chrome.

until I clean the cookies

Are you cleaning cookies by going to the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clearing cookies for all time or are you going to the URL opera://settings/content/all, typing google.com in the search field and clicking "Clear displayed content"?

@burnout426 I'm going into the second option, typing Google and cleaning only Google cookies

I'll try your suggestion, hope it helps!

@burnout426 I don't know what helped, but it worked!!!

The standalone version worked fine... Then, in the Opera that I used to use, I deactivated all Extensions.

And the Gmail standard view worked!!! But now, I reactivated all the Extensions again, and is still working '-' So I know where the problem is, but it's not affecting me anymore...

If Gmail stops working again, I'll know what to do... And it's easier than cleaning the cookies...

Thank you man, you helped more than anyone else!!
