      Hi,
      I had a page saved with the "save as" feature, and upon looking at it there with notepad++ there was a lot of malware looking data in there in the html head section.
      I'm sure that it didn't come from the server. When I did the same in Firefox there was no problem. Also when I did "view source" in Opera the page was just clean. Only a problem with "save as".
      I removed cache etc (everything except passwords) which didn't help. I checked for extensions but there were only the standard ones (addblock and wallet). Eventually removed Opera and all data and reinstalled which helped.
      But I'm wondering what has happened. Of course I may have visited a malware site somewhere, but just how can it manage to hack the Opera like that? If I accidentally had installed an extension I would think Opera had warned me, and it would be visible among the extensions....

        @jphendriks It has already been discussed before, it's just the adblocker code. Disable adblocker and save the page again.

          @leocg thanks. I hadn't considered that option.
