any link
when I click on it a new window appears with the link

So, at https://example.com/, if you left-click on the "more information", it opens https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved in a new window?

(Sorry to ask again, but want to make sure as this seems really odd.)

You could check your mouse settings to make sure the left button is just a normal left click on not something else. Even if other browsers work fine, I'd check that.

You could goto the URL opera://settings/shortcuts and disable mouse gestures to see if it goes away. But, the "open link in window" gesture requires the shift key to be held down, so that's probably not it.

Regular Opera or Opera GX or Opera Crypto?

Windows or Mac or Linux?
