Suddenly can’t get past Cloudflare “check this box to show you’re human” challenge on way to tinyURL.com

Suddenly I can’t get past this Cloudflare challenge when trying to go to tinyURL.com. It never challenged me before. Any time I happen to get the “check the box” challenge in Opera it won’t let me past it — it just keeps cycling and circling back to the challenge box.
Other browsers can process the challenge and let me through, however.
I really like using Opera but this is, well, challenging
Can you help me resolve this? Thanks.

@Kalenchai It seems that the “tinyURL.com” site is now accessible without the Cloudflare challenge, so that seems to have been a temporary issue. However, now I encountered another, different website that is presenting the Cloudflare challenge and Opera is not able to get past it (while other browsers can).
That website is: Unite4Freedom.com (and it used to work fine without any additional challenge). Do you find the same issue if you try to access it?
I let the Opera team know about this.

The issue is actually a kind of good thing. The problem is that these sites have a messed up (or outdated) version of Cloudflare. If you open the console, you'll see:
This is because Opera blocks cross-site requests to prevent sites from giving your data to other sites. Disabling your ad-blockers won't fix this issue.
The Cloudflare check works in Chrome. This does not mean that Chrome is less secure; it just means that Chrome trusts Cloudflare and made an exception.
Hopefully Opera will do the same soon, or maybe the sites will use new versions of Cloudflare!
In the meantime, there isn't much you can do.
