      Can't access sites that uses Cloudflare

      Has Opera done anything to fix this and I am missing some crucial information? Os is this still an ongoing issue? No matter what site, using Cloudflare, I go to, it's the same everywhere - the dots are circling for about 5-10 seconds and then they are stuck. And you can't access the site.

      Do I really need to just migrate to another browser? I can easily using it get past it on Brave but using two browsers isn't a great fix.

          @leocg WHat do you mean by examples? Practically any site that uses Cloudflare authentification has the same reaction.
          https://www.saint-gobain.com/en - is the example I gave with the screenshot (producer of many different types of materials for construction like the Isover glasswool)
          In this case the Cloudflare protection is in the front - so when you first go to the site. Thus you can't.
          Some sites use this protection later on - like when logging in. I sometimes get those and just don't use it (or use other means to access it - like through my phone or another browser).
          If I get another example soon, I might add it to the original post if I remember to do it.

            @merxe Seems that Opera GX is being blocked. Page loads fine if you use Opera One.

              @leocg Well, that is exactly the problem. But it's also curious that one Opera works, another doesn't.
              But it still seems that there is no solution.

                  @leocg I tried your suggestion, downloaded some popular one and switched to a few user agents like Vivaldi, Edge and different versions but it didn't seem to work. I tried 'User-Agent Switcher and Manager'.
                  It seems that nothing beside a fresh installation won't work.
                  Already cleared cookies, site files etc.

                  Or maybe I will just learn how to create a virtual machine and install Opera there to test stuff.

                  There was one time something worked, that I saw suggested: turn off Tracking Scripts Blocking (or whatever that option is called in English).
                  Once I did that, it worked. It was about 3 weeks ago but it stopped working very fast
