        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!

                            sorry, I mixed some information/observation with newer version number (might happen through browser-restart before copying version number) 🤦♂ ...

                            in version 72.0.3815.320 I can't reproduce this issue ... works fine for me 🙂

                                  Updated to 320. Typing into the search/address bar is working. The Prediction service still doesn't turn off. Still getting previous search and websites popping down.

                                    Build 320 installed on Windows 10 20H2 and Linux Mint LMDE4. I opened up about 20 new tabs on each and I couldn't reproduce the error. Looks like it's all set.
