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

It's not just tinyurl.com and the other sites mentioned in this thread. Esteemed sites such as researchgate.net and wiley.com have the same problem. It is surprising that these sites have not updated their Cloudflare code.

1. Just off everything about DNS in your Opera.

2. Make sure, Windows doesn't mess with it as well. Web and Internet >> Proxy Server >> Everything off

@denjohan I solved this problem for at least these sites by changing the User Agent to Chrome.

@TRrexx I forgot to say that I use Opera on Android. Unfortunately, the solutions don't work there because the functions are very limited.

I thought it was fixed and was working fine for the last couple weeks, but it happened again today, done trying to troubleshoot this, just moving back to chrome. It's a shame Opera won't fix this, I actually liked the browser.

I see there is a long discussion on this topic in the Vivaldi forums as well (so it isn't just an Opera issue). One user there said it was because he'd set a rule in uBlockOrigin to block service workers, but that doesn't explain everyone else. Still, one suggestion to look at ...

Personally, never had this problem. I see the Cloudflare thing probably daily, but it always lets me through.

@sgunhouse "rule in uBlockOrigin to block service workers"
UPD. nvm. I just uninstalled Ublock and the error is still there. it's not the problem.

couldya tell me how to disable it to check? by the way, I also checked Vivaldi and there I had no problems with captcha on nexusmods site, but in Opera it is still present.

@denjohan Is this the only solution?

@DanielOrision I updated to version 117.0.5408.53 on another PC with the same Windows version as the problematic one. When accessing researchgate.net, I get the message "We've noticed some unusual traffic coming from your network. To continue, please check the box below.", but ticking the Cloudflare box now works. wiley.com works now too. This time there was no need to switch to Chrome as user agent so Opera seems to have fixed this now, at least in my environment.

@denjohan I’ve noticed the checkbox ticking seems to be working now as well.
The thing I next need to figure out is the most recent post I made on opera’s use of resources over time and how to reclaim some of that safely.

@NC4Opera Still doesn't work on Android (version 87.7.4607.83311). BTW, the main reason for sticking to Opera is its word wrap function on Android, and I'd like to sync it with the Windows version. I haven't found any other Android browser that has word wrap upon zooming in a page.
