Opera will not open certain links from sites such as my bank, or T-Mobile. The browser just hangs as if it's trying to load the page. Usually it's a link to access sensitive account information, like, changing a password. Chrome and Edge will work just fine. This will happen on Windows, Linux Mint, and Android systems. I have been using Opera for many years, and this problem has been there for quite awhile, however it's happening so often lately, I need to find a fix, or move on to another browser.

@leocg ok, will do.

@leocg I understand, perhaps the bank sites are doing something to enhance security, and Opera is unable to cope with it, or maybe it's the other way around, Opera may have tighter security measures in place and the websites can't deal with that. Whatever the case, Chrome and Edge will allow me to connect. I believe there must be others experiencing similar issues. It's very unfortunate because I really like using Opera. I hope that the problem gets worked out in the future, thanks.

Sorry to say that I will be moving away from Opera. The problem that I am having connecting to my financial and service related websites is only getting worse. This happens on Windows, Linux and Android. Regardless of how much I like Opera, and how long I have been using it, I don't have time to tinker with it when I am trying to get work done. Other Chromium based browsers don't have this problem, so why does Opera? I will check back occasionally to see if things improve, because I really like using Opera. Regards, Kenwood51

@sgunhouse The user agent switcher works on Windows 10, haven't tried it on Linux yet. Doesn't seem to be a way to install a agent switcher extension for Android. With Chrome and Edge based on Chromium, and they have no trouble. I wonder why this is still an issue since Opera is based on Chromium as well.

@leocg sorry I took so long to respond. I have version 73.0.3856.344
Disabling, "show popup with clipboard...etc." didn't work.
I just started using, KDE neon a few months ago, could it be an issue with the OS?
Never had this problem with PCLinuxOS, or Mint.

@leocg Sorry, but I I see nothing in the user interface section that is for a file browser. I turned all settings off, but I still have the same problem. I have looked at all settings, and see nothing related to the Open File browser.

@leocg I'll take a second look in the settings, however I did not see anything specifically listed for Open Files in the settings. Perhaps I overlooked it.

When trying to upload photos from my computer to Google photos, Opera has started using a file browser called "Open File". It doesn't always show my external drives. How can I disable this, and start using Dolphin again? My OS is KDE neon.
