I have a new strange problem. I have Firefox, Chrome and Edge on my Windows 7 machine and they do not fault at all. When using Opera, however, after a few minutes of browsing if I try to open a new tab or go to a new Youtube video the internet connection drops out. I then immediately check the other browsers and they are fine. This is an Opera problem, surely. I uninstalled Opera and reinstalled it ... same problem. I made sure that I had ownership of the Opera profiles folder... yep, that was fine. When the net drops out I have to exit Opera and restart. When I restart I often get a message about not having adequate permission to use the profile folder and Opera will not start. If I then click the Opera shortcut again the program opens fine only to fault and drop the net connection some minutes later. Here is the message that flashes up on the desktop:

On my Win7 Computer I have the same problem, the Error message only appears seldomly. Opening Opera a window opens, I can use full screen or smaller for a few seconds, then the window closes. This happens in a 10 sec Rhythm repeatedly. The proceesor speed runs to 100 % during the open phase. I am the only user and administrator. Yesterday I deleted Opera completely which was not without problems maybe because I use it since about 25 years. It was situated in the main "program files" compartment. I installed the actual version now in the "users" compartment. The problem has not changed, Funny, my attempts to activate my new Opera membership also failed because the link tried to open Opera.
