The last 2 months I have a problem with opera browser that I use for more than 20 years now. In some websites it doesn't work. It keeps on going to 403 forbidden access or error. Homepage always work but then when going to access something it triggers the error. The thing is that Edge or firefox works OK. No problem.
I do not use VPN and I have disable it.
What is the problem? -

blackbird71 last edited by@maddim Some websites actively block certain web browser brands or versions they don't choose to accept. This may be because of their uncertainty that a given type of browser will correctly run all of the site code based on testing or simply because they are too lazy to test all brands, so they simply block all but a few "acceptable" ones. Likewise, there may actually be something in a browser or its extension(s) that isn't correctly 'handshaking' the initial connection protocols required to deliver access to the problematic site (web addresses employing https rather than http are especially susceptible to this).
If the problem exists for all websites, then something is wrong with how the browser communicates with the operating system and its networking modules.

@blackbird71 Ok. That is reasonable. From what you say, I from my side cannot do anything about it, can I?
But why is getting more common the latest 2 months? -
