It seems that you were right. The old profile brought back the issue. So should I just let it go? I have many passwords saved on that thing

I saved the profile as indicated and did a clean install. Although the old profile is still there, it's not the one used by Opera. What can I do to change that?

When I click on the browser, it takes more than 5 minutes to load. The background doesn't show up and if I type in a website, it takes an indeterminate amount of time to load. The longest I have been able to wait is 5 minutes

I disable all the extensions and still nothing
