Sometimes, when clicking on (random) links (anywhere) - the page content become blurred, and to the URL is appended "google_vignette".

This happens for months, in multiple latest Opera versions. Why so, and how to ged rid of this "Google_vignette"?

@steaua10 For how long did you research about it? What were the results?

@leocg Not sure for how long. At least 3 months, maybe from the beggining of the year. I just waited new and new updates from Opera, to see if this disappears, but it still there.

Describing the behaviour.

In the blurred page, if you click anywhere, the blur goes away, and the expected page loads ok. Also using Backspace, returns current page to normal state.

@steaua10 Because it's not an Opera issue?

Maybe it's just the adblocker doing its job?

@leocg Perhaps it's from adblocker.
I have enabled Opera Ad Blocker. Version 77.0.4054.277

Seems the sites in question are using Google Adsense auto ads. where the site itself is adding #google_vignette to the URL on the page.

There's a pic on this page that shows what it's supposed to look like. Of course, if you're using an adblocker, the ad will probably be missing where you just see a blurred page.
