Opera automatically fetches a page when it starts

Ah! Opera, and only Opera, repeatedly and automatically fetches this content, when only one this web page and Opera tab is opened.

Hi @masaoliu,

In the last line of the image you posted: "source: chrome-extension://obhaigpnhcioanniiaepcgkdilopflbb/background_worker.html (0) ", the code doesn't belong to any of our pages. It seemed to be appended by the browser. Could you please check the info of the extension?

@chennien I have only two extensions, both are disabled.

I will be removing all of them after I have made this comment. I will come back to comment if the auto fetches completely stops.

==Edit==
I can't find a way to remove these extensions. They seem to be mandatory.

@masaoliu I visited hearty.me and the issue began on my device. To resolve it, I went to
opera://serviceworker-internals/ opera://serviceworker-internals/. Then, I pressed CTRL + F and searched for “hearty” and related terms (“.me”, etc.). I found this:

Scope: https://hearty.me/
Storage key:
Ancestor chain bit: SameSite
Registration ID: 93
Navigation preload enabled: false
Navigation preload header length: 4
Active worker:
Installation Status: ACTIVATED
Running Status: STOPPED
Fetch handler existence: DOES_NOT_EXIST
Fetch handler type: NO_HANDLER
Script: https://hearty.me/sw.js
Version ID: 108
Renderer process ID: 0
Renderer thread ID: -1
DevTools agent route ID: -2
Log:

So I unregistered the process, restarted Opera, and the issue was gone.

Let me know if that works for you. It did for me. Best of luck!

It seems that the outdated service worker (https://hearty.me/sw.js) handling installed PWAs was causing unexpected fetching behaviors. I've now updated the code and unregistered the worker. Please let me know whether the issue is resolved. I apologize once more for any inconvenience.

@bestcodes Thank you very much!
I can't find the entry *hearty" in opera://serviceworker-internals/.

I renamed directory /home/john/.config/opera/ to /home/john/.config/opera-bak again, and this issue is gone.

I suspect some files in /home/john/.config/opera/ are broken.

I will try to manually migrate bookmarks and saved passwords, etc. from /home/john/.config/opera-bak/ to /home/john/.config/opera/.

Strange that didn't work before, but glad it's gone doing it this time.

Solved with ~/.config/opera removed.

Thank you all for the helps!
