Hi, I apologise in advance if this is a silly question.

The text for cookies/site security/site certificates went from white to red and I was wondering if this was anything to worry about or just a small change in a recent update of Opera GX?

This is what it looks like right now:

This is what it looked like before:

If anyone has any answers about this or if yours also looks like mine please let me know!!

Thank you in advance.

@choroou had the same issue, after clearing all of the site data the text came back to normal. But still wondering why it was red

@shastr how do you clear all of the site data? Is it the same as clearing all cookies? I tried uninstalling/clearing cookies and it didn't work.

@choroou Site data includes both cookies and local storage.

@choroou Yep, data that the sites store on your computer.

@choroou Not your files. If you use Gmail or Google Docs, Google will try to keep some of those files on your computer. Same for Yahoo, Microsoft, etc, Opera tries not to access your files and makes it hard for websites to do so for security reasons, but lots of websites have reason to store more data than would fit in a cookie so modern browsers support "local storage".

@sgunhouse Do you know why the cookies were shown as red?

@shastr GX is not my main browser, and I haven't seen anything like that in Opera One, so I have no idea.

@shastr Probably just an UI bug
