@denjohan I’ve noticed the checkbox ticking seems to be working now as well.
The thing I next need to figure out is the most recent post I made on opera’s use of resources over time and how to reclaim some of that safely.

Almost 71 GB is too big. How can I reduce that significantly while keeping (if possible) how I’m logged in to certain sites? Please advise exactly how best to do this. Thank you!

Up until a relatively short time ago, I was able to use my Opera browser [version 5.4.1 (3)] to select a slower or faster speed when I played videos on gab. Here is an example from a post in which the ability to change its speed no longer works in Opera:
https://gab.com/nc4gab/posts/114066247071573755

This is a video of the near miss on 2/25/25 at Chicago’s Midway airport. Let’s say for some reason I wanted to watch it more slowly, say at a speed of 0.5x, or more quickly at 1.5x. In the past I would just tap on the video and there would be a speed “number” like “1x” showing to the right of the “[ ]” (full screen video icon) on which I would tap and it would cycle through the various available speeds (1x, 1.5x, 2.0x, 0.5x, 1x, etc.); however, that speed “number” is no longer there.

If I tap the “[ ]” icon to maximize the screen and then tap on it, I see this:

If I copy the URL (https://gab.com/nc4gab/posts/114066247071573755) to another browser like Safari and there maximize the screen and tap on it, I get the following (after tapping on the ellipsis “…”) which allows me to select one of the different speeds:

So the ability to change speeds is obviously “there” (as seen when using the Safari browser). But 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙨𝙚𝙧? Is there some way to access this functionality and make it work? Please advise. Thank you.

@Kalenchai It seems that the “tinyURL.com” site is now accessible without the Cloudflare challenge, so that seems to have been a temporary issue. However, now I encountered another, different website that is presenting the Cloudflare challenge and Opera is not able to get past it (while other browsers can).

That website is: Unite4Freedom.com (and it used to work fine without any additional challenge). Do you find the same issue if you try to access it?

I let the Opera team know about this.

Suddenly I can’t get past this Cloudflare challenge when trying to go to tinyURL.com. It never challenged me before. Any time I happen to get the “check the box” challenge in Opera it won’t let me past it — it just keeps cycling and circling back to the challenge box.

Other browsers can process the challenge and let me through, however.

I really like using Opera but this is, well, challenging

Can you help me resolve this? Thanks.
