Opera opens blanked out after todays update

Check out this thread, it might be the same cause.

@andrew84 said in After update, History not allowing "Today":

Here 'today' shows correctly in both Dev and Stable.

Sorry to revive this thread, but as it's still failing here, is by chance your timezone UTC or UTC+? Because the date bug in the classic History happened only with negative timezones, as I discovered here:

@madwey said in Find an address in history from one year ago:

What can be done?

You can try checking your Google/Youtube history, in case you searched for something related to that site back then.

Another option I often use: do a search in WhatsApp, maybe you sent the link to someone.
BTW, I "chat" with my own number to temporarily store some important stuff, or to easily pass info between the computer and the phone.

@zauberfritz said in [Duplicated]yes, again I lost all my tabs:

The core of the matter seems to me not the remedy but the cause. Sometimes (or regularly) a new window is opened in Opera without the user knowing. In that case one window, the open and known one, contains x tabs ( x being some to a lot) and the other, invisible and unknown, contains only one tab. When the user closes the window he knows (no warning), the until then unknown and invisible new window appears. Now you have to be alert, prepared and aware you have lost your work and closing this new window maybe makes it worse, you have to know how to proceed. This went well until last week. I don't know exactly what went wrong. There is some (short)key on the right of the keyboard that by touching by accident made this happen.

Sorry to reopen this old post, but this happened to me last night. I had like 8 tabs, and when I closed it for tomorrow, I had a forgotten popup window from a Hotmail email. And like zauberfritz explained, as this was the last window, Opera used it as the "last session", so today I thought I had lost all those tabs.

Fortunately, while checking opera://history, under "Recently closed", I found my window with the 8 tabs and was able to get them back. I just wanted to comment this in case someone in the future finds themselves in the same situation.

Another possible fix would be that Opera keeps track of "child" windows, that is, popups generated from another window. So either the popup is closed when the parent window is closed, or simply the popup is never saved.

@idakooz said in Opera Browser Not Loading Web Pages Properly on Windows:

Same thing has been happening to me recently. Not exactly sure what's casusing it but feels like a cookies problem. Tried to enable 3rd-party cookies to see if it resolves this issue but Opera never saves the setting I choose for it. Keeps reverting back to disable 3rd-party cookies.

Do you also have Kaspersky?
I stopped having this issue for some months now, luckily.

I don't think a cookies issue would stop a page from loading. Does a private window have the same issue?

@burnout426 said in Opera Browser Not Loading Web Pages Properly on Windows:

@aleksr2 Kaspersky is known to cause issues like that. If you have it, to test if it's the cause, you have to temporarily uninstall it (disabling it isn't enough). Some system-wide VPNs can cause the issue too. In those cases, you also have to uninstall them and not just disable them to test if they're the cause or not. All of those can sometimes affect just Opera and not Chrome.

That's interesting. I also have Kaspersky and of course I tried disabling it, which didn't help, but I also tried a standalone portable Opera instance, and it worked just fine! So I assumed it was something related to my installation or profile.

Anyway, I think it's been several days since the last time I had this issue, so maybe either Opera or Kaspersky got updated and this "duo" now works fine? I'll keep my fingers crossed...

@TycheSD said in Opera Browser Not Loading Web Pages Properly on Windows:

@aleksr2 Hi, I ended up uninstalling Opera and then reinstalled it. The version I had apparently couldn't be updated normally. I haven't had any problems since then.

But did you lose all your profile data, like history, cookies, etc.? Because I think the issue is there somewhere. Trying a separate portable Opera version seems to work just fine.

@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?

@alobpreis said in Disconnect:

It does not work anymore. It has been displaying a ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND page for months.

Dear users: please read the previous posts before commenting the same thing again. Thanks.

@n4i75irhc1371 said in The High CPU/RAM/GPU Usage Topic - Opera for Desktops:

Some heavy pages sometimes start eating a lot of RAM and CPU here, mostly Facebook pages with videos. With Shift-ESC you can quickly see which page is the culprit. Closing that page alone solves the issue. And often reloading the same page in a new tab doesn't produce the problem again.

And regarding the RAM usage on your computer, you should go to the Details tab, right click on any column header, select columns and add the "Memory - Commit Size" column. In my experience that's the most realistic value, and a high number there will make your computer crawl. Order by that column and see what you find.

I'm not sure if this can be of help, but have in mind that the clipboard can have multiple types of contents. Take for example Excel. If you copy a group of cells, you can paste the text content into Notepad, but also paste a screenshot of those in Paint, having done just one Ctrl-C.
So it looks like in your case the text might have been copied to the clipboard but the image stayed, and the target app used the image content. Did you by chance try to paste afterwards in something like Notepad (where of course images can't be inserted)?
Another thought: some pages have Javascript limitation to copying stuff, I recall experiencing doing Ctrl-X and still having the previous text in the clipboard. I think the key here is exact reproduction steps, maybe related to a specific site.

@albertop Github is clearly not updated, they might have changed the repository. The extension says:

Last update: Dec. 3, 2021

2012 was a different "world", Disconnect would have stopped working much earlier if it hadn't been updated since.

@didad38 And......... why don't you try any other site to see if there's a problem with it? There are sites which have Javascript code that clears the fields.

@didad38 What about other sites? I tried that one and I get a certificate error (only valid for remote.*), not sure if that could be related to the problem.
Your screenshot means you deleted the credentials and they were successfully saved again later?

@magicalus Wow, and it only happened with Opera?? Could you fix it now?
If, for example, you take a screenshot, does it also have the issue?

@magicalus Do you mean that text or images appear blurry or pixelated? I'm not sure if I understand...
Could it be related to this?

@cyberkaz said in not capable of copying url:

"If you select a part of the url and cut it, does it disappear and is it copied to the clipboard?" yup disappears, but nothing in clipboard

This is very weird. And I assume it's the only software where this occurs? And what if you do the same in a web site's textbox, like in Google, or this very forum?

@cyberkaz said in not capable of copying url:

we highlight the url from left to right, right click "copy" and that goes to the clipboard ok!

Manually highlighting works?? That's weirder.

I would try with a standalone portable installation to see what happens there. Do you have any extension installed? You could also try an incognito window.

@cyberkaz What does it exactly do? Copy an empty text? Not copy anything into the clipboard? If you select a part of the url and cut it, does it disappear and is it copied to the clipboard? If you right-click on the url and directly choose Copy (without manually selecting any text), does it make any difference?

@hucker said in The page redirected you too many times:

@alobpreis said in The page redirected you too many times:

@hucker Why would so many sites have random redirections? Usually you have none, or one at most (unless there is a login involved). I'd open the Developer Toolbar and check the Network tab to see what's going on.
With your site, it just redirected once to the /home url.

(...) And of course a login is involved, people tend to login to Ebay!

@hucker I was referring to web sites in general, not a specific one. And of course you can use any of the mentioned sites without logging in. Does it only happen to you on sites where you are logged in, and try to access a private url?

As soon as it happens, if you reload the page, it works or does it fail again?
If it fails, check what I mentioned above in the Developer Toolbar. Or also you could still check it to see how many redirections occur.

Do you use the same sites in other browser and they work fine there?

Another option is to try with a private window or a portable installation, to try to find what's causing this. How often does this happen?
