If I use an account, the blinking disappears.

I reverted back to the default setting, because of that.

In addition to making sure Opera is using the GPU that you want, you might need to adjust the Angle flag for your GPU. (Scroll down to the "Opera on Windows Is Slow" section if it doesn't jump automatically. Reddit might might have a bug at the moment with that.)

Laptop

go to settings win 11 - system - display - graphics and select not high-performance 3060ti, but energy-efficient integrated graphics for processing the Opera application
