for me it happens specifically in Debian10.2 on the latest version on apt 78.0.3904.108-1 for chromium but only when https everywhere extension is being used. and only when "Encrypt All Sites Eligible is ON" otherwise it's fine.

Do you happen to also use this extension?

ublock is fine

@nvmjustagirl I thought my chrome and opera were auto updating on exit, so , manually updated to latest versions, (not Dev), still get the same errors, what do you mean by setting flags to default?

@nvmjustagirl I tested microsoft Edge which is also chromium based and it has a different critical issue but not the same as Opera and Chrome.

@leocg thats really good scores !..

here is score of - Opera Stable 66.0.3515.36 (64-bit)

Passed - 370

Warning - 14

Critical - 0

Skipped - -20

@MichaelRoss5 go here in address bar: opera://flags

i had a few flags enabled in opera dev.. so when i ran 1st test - score - Warning - 11 / Critical - 6

so while your in the flag 's settings (AKA - Experiments) - their is a button called (Reset all to default)

so what few flags i had Enabled.. i reset them to default..

ran 2nd test (flags set @ default) - score - Warning - 11 / Critical - 0

so to me some of the flags' were make 'n score worse.. in my case

i got a few extensions.. if i disabled them .. my score may have been even better..

@nvmjustagirl HTTPS everywhere extension is the cause of the problem, have emailed them to look into.

@MichaelRoss5 I think it would be possible. Try disabling them.

Or maybe it's something fixed in the version of Chromium used in Opera developer.

@leocg Will wait and see what HTTPS everywhere come back with, they prevent you using HTTP unencrypted websites and try to make HTTP into HTTPS, I assume they are using cookies to do this. It will depend on what level of security is needed for the information in the cookie
