Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "install" path.

Right-click on your desktop, goto "New" and choose "Shortcut".

In the "Create shortcut" dialog, click "browse", point it to "opera.exe" in the install folder, click "OK" and click "Next".

Then, name the shortcut "Opera as Chrome" and click "Finish".

Then, right-click the "Opera as Chrome" shortcut on your desktop, goto "properties" and switch to the "Shortcut" tab.

On the "Shortcut" tab, add a space and:

"--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

to the end of the command in the target field so that it looks like this example:

"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

Then, click apply, click "OK" and close Opera.

Then, use the "Opera as Chrome" shortcut to start Opera.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/content/all in Opera, type pnc.com in the search field and click "Delete displayed data".

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "cached images and files" for all time.

Then, goto the URL opera://browserjs and disable browser js for the session.

Then goto pnc.com and try things out.

If things work that way, PNC is probably blocking Opera.

@chawoobie: After extended discussions with PNC bank tech support, it appears that PNC does block Opera even though they say it should work. I was able to regain access to PNC by having them unblock my account after multiple failed attempts to access the site. I can now access PNC with DuckDuckGo, Firefox, Chrome, Edge - just not PNC. I asked them to fix this.
After further exploration of the isssue on my own, it appears that the user-agent string is the problem. Operas UA string is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/110.0.0.0
DuckDuckGO, for example, is identical except the last item is not OPR/110.0.0.0, but Edg/124.0.0.0.
So it appears that Opera having the OPR/110.0.0.0 in the UA string is the culprit. While I wait for a permanent fix, could I just edit the UA string in Opera via the Developer Tools to reflect the Edg/124.0.0.0 string? Or would that mess up Opera in general?

I am not 6 years old. I don't want silly little pictures on my tabs. I must find a way to get rid of them.
