I'll give Opera 3 days to fix this otherwise I'll be looking for a new trustworthy browser.

.

@graywoulf Well YouTube has lost me as a viewer, there's no way their average content is worth the stupid, stupid ads they pump out - it's offensive to me. they are trash.

And in turn, why Opera if i can find another browser that actually blocks "the trash"

Could Opera please recommend a PC OS that isn't trying to undermine users, and works best for Opera ?

(1) Doesn't interfere with Operas ad blockers / Tracker blockers etc
(2) Isn't trying to steal user data.

I know W10 seems to work with Opera ok ? but that's still a MS program, it could subverted at any time.

Thanks

@leocg Netflix seems to work ok.

I just tested running Andor E:12 on my old laptop with W10 .. and it worked Fine !! .. bingo !

aaarrgghh. I just bought a new laptop with a cancerous OS !! W11 !!

@leocg I'm having issues with Andor Ep 12. Then I tested "Guardians of the Galaxy - Xmas Special" and same issue as Andor.

If I click on the Disney icon on my new laptop, it runs those movies ok. I assume it uses the default browser for W11.

I have contacted Disney regarding this problem, they said they would get back to me in a few days. I told them I use Opera.

@leocg It's fresh download of Opera, just a few days ago. i don't think there is any extensions .. but I'll check.

Yes, no Freeze of Opera, just doesn't play / download video. Maybe it's a W11 thing ? I don't trust W11 .. when is Opera going to make a Pc OS ?

@leocg hmmmm, tried removing Track blockers, still froze. Then I tried removing Ad Blocker, still froze.

hmmmm..

it goes - Blue screen, "Disney Plus" logo, then rainbow beam logo (white), sound effect. Then "Original" below that. Then nothing, loading appears to be stopped as i need to click the "play" icon, to start loading. Then i get a spinning circle, loading cursor for about 10 seconds, then the screen is black with a smaller Disney Plus logo .. and frozen.

hmmm. ..am I missing a add-on ?

@leocg No, but I cannot see how that would help ?

I can run Netflix ok, so i assumed it was Disney+ problem .. but then I tested a different Browser, and Andor played ok ..so .. ???

I will try disabling stuff.

I wonder if certain channels are targeting non-compliant browsers, those who block ads. ???

Does Opera ad blocking block YouTube adverts ?

Never had any ads before my upgraded Laptop to OS W11, but now I seem to be bombarded by ads.

Any help appreciated.

I bought a new laptop, upgraded my broadband to 250MBPS ..but now Opera freezes up when I try to watch the last episode on Andor on DisneyPlus. I know the problem is with Opera because I was able to actually watch the episode on my laptops default browser.

Opera worked fine before all my upgrades.

PC laptop, new OS - Win11, old OS Win10. Old broadband speed - 40 MBPS.

Any help appreciated.
