      Hi all,
      I am having this problem with Opera GX: when I try to go on a website responding on HTTP, my browser automatically rewrites the URL and HTTPS appears. Obviously if the website is responding on HTTP, I get no response on HTTPS.
      I have already tried the following things:

      1. clear cache (from Settings)
      2. clear site data (from Ctrl + Shift + J -> Application -> Clear site data)
      3. disable cache (from Ctrl + Shift + J -> Network -> Disable data)
      4. disable all my extensions
      5. Settings -> Privacy & security -> Security -> Always use secure connections (it has always been disabled, I tried also to toggle it to enabled then to disabled again)
      6. Settings -> Privacy & security -> Security -> Protect me from malicious sites (it has always been enabled, but disabling it makes no difference)
      7. update browser and try again all the above points. My current Opera GX version is LVL5 (core: 107.0.5045.60).

      A weird thing is that with incognito mode my browser lets me go on the website using HTTP. I can't figure out what is going on.
      Can someone please tell me how to make my website to be surfed using HTTP without going in incognito mode?

        @alessiofalcone How is the behavior on other Chromium browsers? Most browsers nowadays will always try to connect using a secure connection.

        Did you try to remove the s in the page address?

          @leocg I've tried to remove the "s" in the url of course. Opera GX still redirects me to the https website. But not in incognito mode... Here it keeps the http and lets me view my website.
          I've tried with Google chrome and works as expected, keeping the http, without forcing the https

            @alessiofalcone Did you test with all extensions disabled?
