        "clear all browser data" has no affect on this issue

        Win10 x64
        Opera 72.0.3815.211

        my observation:
        shortly after starting opera browser or opening a new tab it seems to work correct, bookmark-suggestions respectively search-suggestions on typing into adress-bar are shown ... but then the issue returns randomly ...

          A workaround has been pushed from server which should have addressed this issue. This will be later followed up by client hotfix.

                    @pc-net Not, it doesn't. Stop spreading misinformation.

                    @gmiazga Thank you for keeping us updated. However, I hope issues like these get resolved faster. This is something that could make you lose users for good.

                          It seems that it happens less often now, but it still happens.

                                    @gmiazga Good morning

                                    I have the version of Opera 72.0.3815.211 and I am very unhappy because the loading of various pages keeps crashing.

                                    This error does not occur in Firefox, Microsof Edge, Google Chrome. Please solve this problem.

                                    I completely reinstalled the browser, activated it as a allowed exception in Windows 10, accepted all cookies and besides, I have a working system (Win10 2004) I only have Windows Defender antivirus and 1000 Mbit LAN installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled and this error continues.
                                    I am asking for a solution to this problem.

                                    Regards and thank you!
