Okay. Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "OperaTest" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser" and install. Test in that Opera. Do not enable VPN, the ad blocker or Opera Sync in it. Also, do not install any extensions.

Does it work fine there?

Can I do that with the offline installer? Since the online installer wasn't working for me but I checked another topic and it said I had to download the offline installer, luckily that worked. But can I do all of that in the offline installer?

@bador The problem happens if you try to open the main page?

@leocg If I open anything inside the extension store or even the main page It just loads forever. Like I can't open any page if it's the extension store. Every other page works fine, except the extension store for opera

@bador Then check if there isn't any software in your computer blocking it. Check also your network.

In addition to checking your security software to see if it's interfering, you can check some things to make sure you're not infected with anything.

Goto "Internet Options" in Windows. On the "Connections" tab, click "LAN settings". Make sure "Automatically detect settings", "Use automatic configuratio script" and "Use a proxy server..." are all unchecked.

In Windows Explorer, goto "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc", double-left-click on the "hosts" file and choose to open it with Notepad. Make sure that there are no non-blank lines that do not begin with '#'. As in, make sure there are no active entries (except for 127.0.0.1 localhost if you're on WinXP).

In Windows, goto "Network and Sharing Center" and click on "Change adapter settings". Then, right-click on the adapter you're currently using and click "properties". Under the "Networking" tab in properties, double-left-click on TCP/IPv6 and make sure "Obtain automatically" is set for both IP and DNS. Repeat for TCPIPv4.

Download the free version of Malwarebytes (when/after installing, choose to use the 14-day premium trial) and scan your computer with it.

Do the same with Adwcleaner just for good measure.

You can uninstall Adwcleaner and Malwarebytes when you're done with them if you want.

In Firefox, goto the URL about:preferences#general and click on "Network Settings" at the bottom (or search for it). in there, set "No proxy" and ok out. Also, make sure you have no extensions in about:addons. Then, see if that helps things work in Firefox. If it does, then it's probably an issue with the Internet Options proxy setting.

@leocg Yeah @burnout426 I tried everything, didn't work. I also tried firefox, still doesn't work. I wonder if it's blocked in my country or something?

@bador It could be a possibility. Other Opera sites open?

@bador Then probably opera.com is being blocked. Try checking if they open with a VPN.

@bador There should be some free ones that you can use to test.
