      Greetings! I've recently been trying new browsers since Chrome borked a bunch of extensions including ad blockers, and was having a good time with Opera until I noticed something.

      Imgur links would not load on this browser. Albums, single images, direct links with the file extension at the end, hell, even the home page Imgur.com would simply not load.

      Everything worked fine on other browsers, only Opera seemed to be struggling with this. Looking online, I've only found default troubleshooting steps, which I then followed to no avail.

      Opening links on a private window (no extensions) presented the same issue. I have no "mods" installed. I tried disabling "browser.js". I cleared all specific and general browsing data, reverted preferences to default — nothing could make it work — until I tried enabling the built-in VPN, then the links started loading without problems. I also tried disabling both Opera's and my external VPN (Mullvad) and the site loaded perfectly fine, confirming it is indeed causing the issue.

      Here's an Imgur link (lol) displaying the issue: https://imgur.com/a/wACQTmu

      Sadly, I cannot browse the internet like a normal person without a VPN (my country is ran by little tyrants) and the in-built VPN slows my browsing speed to a snail's pace.

      If it's too specific of a case scenario and the team has other priorities, I can understand. Still, I have to ask if this can be looked into, please.
