      Huge headache, I'm honestly surprised there aren't more complaints than just these two users.

        I can confirm this same issue happened too me. Had to disable built-in Adblock to fix the browser. Seems to be blocking major assets from sites not just ads.

          Same issue here. Windows 10. It was happening with 135.0.5973.93 and I updated to 135.0.5973.133. It’s still happening. Alamo all sites have images, css, and JavaScript blocked. Turning off the adblocker results in pages loading correctly. I’ve also tried resetting Chrome’s settings to default minus profile data. That was no help.

              Same here, on Windows 10. Started around 1 hr ago. Tried to update (now 135.0.5973.133), but still broken. Only switching off the ad blocker works. I also have uBlockOrigin, but that doesn't change anything.

                Downgraded to the previous version downloading it from https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/135.0.5973.123/linux/

                But I have another similar machine with that version and now that I check there, it's still broken.

                So it seems it's not the new version but some broken blocklist 😞

                  The culprit Is the "Acceptable Ads" feature:

                  https://forums.opera.com/post/409354

                  Disabling it and leaving the Ad Blocker on keeps websites working.

                    @aciba there are several complains on several different posts.

                    I'm trying to relay the message from the developers but I can only make one post every 2 minutes 🙂

                      @rick2 Disabling the built-in adblock worked for me too, this is a great inconvenience, hope they solve in the next update

                        @mochuelin Disabling only Acceptable Ads didn't work?

                          @leocg This worked for me, you're a Godsend. It was blocking my own websites I develop for work rofl it was driving me crazy never knowing if a website would work or not!
