      Randomly one website I use frequently had the 403 Forbidden error. My VPN is disabled, it is not blocked if I open it on edge on my pc or on Opera GX on my phone. Any ideas?

        @legojamestv Most probably the site is blocking Opera.

          @leocg That’s what I thought too, but I can access it on opera go on my phone perfectly fine.

            @legojamestv What is "frequently"? Which pages on the site (if it is only certain pages)? I've seen sites that display fine, but if you try to open pictures in a new tab will throw this error.

              @sgunhouse It’s a website I use for my school work, that I have open constantly on opera. It tends to load and let me log in when I click on the link to open it, but doesn’t display anything and then comes up with the error.

                @legojamestv Maybe it's blocking only Opera GX

                  @leocg as in on the specific one on my pc? How would I figure out how to disable that, I’ve got no blocking extensions enabled.

                    @legojamestv If you post the site address, others can check if they can access with Opera GX.

                      @leocg Since the error is after login, that probably won't help. Could be cookie-related, allowing cookies on that site might help.

                        @sgunhouse there is nothing on the website to allow cookies, I’ve made sure opera gx is allowing cookies in settings

                          @legojamestv Did you try cleaning cookies for the site?
