thx for the hint but now nothing is loading any more, no chats, tho it says it is connected and i see my profile pic, but no chats, guess i'll start using the desktop whatsapp instead of the one in opera, saves me from logging in constantly, cuz phone says connected, opera shows avatar but nothing else, and msgs are coming in on phone, but opera sidebar shows nothing at all any more, and still operabrowser keeps crashing, so i'll stop using the embedded whatsapp and will not lose all my open tabs each time, maybe i'll switch to vivaldi for a while till they patch it
