Washington Post Issue

This has happened a couple times now, over the last few days. Clicking on any link from the main Washington Post web page

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

Gives me this::

"This page isn’t working
www.washingtonpost.com redirected you too many times."

Works fine in IE, does not work in O51 normal and private page. I started posting about this the other day, but it seemingly stopped doing it and I discarded the post here.

Now here it is again. When clicking on this story::

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/white-house-budget-proposes-increase-to-defense-spending-and-cuts-to-safety-net-but-federal-deficit-would-remain/2018/02/12/f2eb00e6-100e-11e8-8ea1-c1d91fcec3fe_story.html

This never happened with previous versions of Opera, started with O51

Help??

@bbildman Using Olde Opera as an analysis tool, there appears to be one redirect and two requests to use local storage. Otherwise, the page opens OK in Olde Opera. Using Opera 50, the page opens correctly for me as well.

So, blackbird, do you know if it opens ok in 51 in your system?? Because it always opened ok here on O50. Now with 51 I get that strange message.

@bbildman I tried a couple of posts and they opened fine here, both in Opera 51 and 52.

I'll try a clean profile and see what's up, thanks

@leocg Clean profile works.

I tried private window (current profile), with NO extensions running, and not blocking ads, page not working.

Point me, then, what to look for in my current profile that might be doing this, especially that O51 was loading that page yesterday, and now not.

@bbildman Maybe some setting or flag? I would start by resetting them.

One thing you can do is copying the folders and files from the current profile to the new clean one to see which ones is causing the issue.

@leocg Narrowed it down to the "preferences" file. I ran into an issue once with the "preferences" file, and can't remember what I did to rectify it; I know you should not edit this file.

Any hints??

@leocg Figured it out, I had blocked Wash Post from setting any local cookie data to get around their counting of articles I read. And the reason it worked sometimes was because I had reached the limit, instead of telling me I had read x number of articles, it simply blocked me by doing that "page is not working" message. Now set the data cookie to "clear on exit"

Ok all is well, thanks
