@jaym12 So you are saying that you can open all those sites with any browser except Opera? At least they work just fine to me.
You can try disabling the ad blocking, or a private window, or a portable installation of Opera to test without any relation to your current installation/profile.

@kimkorton Were you able to solve it?

My Opera started having this ugly behavior a few weeks ago. A few times every couple of hours, when clicking something in a web page, it just keeps loading forever, or perhaps the home page itself never finishes loading at all.
Sometimes stopping and reloading the page works, sometimes a new tab does, and sometimes an incognito window does.
At first I thought it was my ISP, but then I tried other browsers and they work just fine.
Unfortunately it's not easy to replicate: it's like if at some point Opera just gets tired and doesn't want to load anything for several seconds.
I disabled the very few extensions I have but the problem remains.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thank you, burnout426! I edited the Preferences file and removed the whole commands section, and that solved the issue. Although I see that someone else also recommends just changing all these shortcuts to global: false.

@leocg said in Youtube not working properly in Opera browser:

And what is the problem?

I guess he's referring to those huge white icons...

I cannot begin to fathom how this severe issue hasn't been solved in years... Only the day cutoff was fixed (e.g. day changing at 9pm), but not the 1 day off.

I totally agree. Having this middle ground setting of loading some pages at the discretion of the browser is not useful to me. It has all the drawbacks minato just mentioned above. I'd rather have the old classic behavior. It's not like loading a page takes that long and I'm not willing to wait 2 seconds if I go to a yet-not-loaded tab. But I do dislike having the browser use a lot of resources each time I open it. That makes me use another browser if I need to just quickly check an url.

Furthermore, each time all these background pages are reloaded, their all come up in the history list, like if I really visited them right now, which was never my intention. It's like corrupting the browser's history, making pages be in the wrong date.

And any other browser works just fine with the same pages? It looks like an issue with the graphics card driver. If other browsers work ok, you can try downloading Opera Portable and check if the issue occurs there.

Well, I just upgraded to 69.0.3686.57 and something was fixed... Now the day changes at midnight, but there's still something wrong: now it's one day off! For example, urls from today, Monday 13th, appear as "Today Sunday 12". I hope version 70 fixes this completely...

At least now it's a bit easier to know which day each history entry belongs to.

@alobpreis If you want to try and fix your existing profile, here are some things you can try:

Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "cache" path, close Opera and delete the "Cache" and "System Cache" folders in the cache path to see if that helps.

If that doesn't help:

Goto the URL opera://about, takte note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete all folders with "Cache" somehwere in their names. Then, go up one folder level (where you can see the "Default" folder) and delete all folders there with "Cache" somewhere in their names.

I tried these two first options with no luck.
The next day (yesterday), without doing anything, Netflix' landing page appeared (logged off), which made me think the bug was fixed. However, when trying to login, an error appeared, although this time it had a different code: NSES-UHX.
And today, again without doing anything, the login page finally worked and all looks good!

This is on Opera One 139.0.6053.22. Sorry for using this GX thread, but there wasn't one in the other section and I didn't think it was worth creating a separate one.

Edit: I just updated to 139.0.6053.38 and everything is still ok, apparently.

Great, that did the trick. Thanks! For some reason I didn't think this configuration could be among the experimental flags. I wonder if this setting is temporary and in the future it will be impossible to undo this...

@leocg said in Netflix Appearing Blank:

@alobpreis What about mods?

Nothing, it just stopped working, like dozens of others also experience.

I just tried Opera Portable and it works. As some reported doing a restoration works, there must be something in the profile that causes this, but not due to a user error or something that changed on the user side (besides the Opera update).

The console from Developer Toolbar only shows

GET https://www.netflix.com/ 500 (Internal Server Error)

The Network tab shows just 17 requests, the only error being the status 500 of the main GET.

Doing a Clear in the Application tab under Storage should suffice, but apparently there's something else somewhere. Having to restore the browser is an overkill solution. I'd much rather just use another browser (or Opera Portable) until it's solved.

@leocg said in Netflix Appearing Blank:

@JinaeW When a page works on a private windows but not on a regular one, it usually means problems with an extension.

I'd agree, but this is not the case. I disabled all extensions and it's still occurring. In my case, it happens with Opera One 138.0.6044.24.
At first the page the screen remained black and loaded forever. Then I removed all the application's storage data with the Developer Toolbar and now I get the same screen shown above, with the NSES-500 error code.

That post on Reddit has 45 upvotes... Some claim that doing a recovery in opera://update worked, although that logs you out of everything and a few reported that didn't work at all.

@geebsrilie: You can by using the developer toolbar. You have to right click on the image, inspect it, find the url in the img tag right above the selected div in the Elements tab, and click on it. The image will open in a new tab and there you can use Google Lens.

@PBull said in What is the difference between "logging in" to Opera and using the Opera browser?:

expecting it to take me to a password reset screen of some sort, but it just leaves me stuck on the password login screen!

Did you try this site?

https://auth.opera.com/account/authenticate

@gamma-x3d said in is there any way to get date format as DD.MM.YYYY.?:

is there any way to get Opera to show date format as DD.MM.YYYY.?

Where??
The date format is typically handled by the web site, and it should use either the system format, or else one determined (i.e. "forced") by the very site.

@prseo2070 said in [Spam?](My?)page in sites.google.com doesn't load correctly:

The site is: https://sites.google.com/view/right-firm-you1need/home

The site loads fine here.
Just to be clear: does the site load fine with any other browser on the same computer? What about a private window? Or Opera Portable (installed in a standalone folder)?
Are you using any VPN or special DNS servers?

@Inquiro said in After update, History not allowing "Today":

Thank you, that worked! Can you give me some idea as to other consequences of disabling that flag? Thanks.

You just don't have the new design of the history page.
You can check the previous posts in this thread about this matter.

@Inquiro Did you try disabling the #history-redesign flag? I've done that a few weeks ago and it works fine so far.

@Franz5157 All bookmarks are stored in C:\Users\<your_user>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default\Bookmarks (extensionless file), and the Speed Dial ones (I guess that's what you meant) is under the speedDial section in that file (JSON format). If you deleted it and don't have a backup or never synchronized it... I'd say your last hope if finding a Bookmarks.bak file in that Default folder.
