This has happened with the latest Opera (I got it last night - 22 Sept 2022)... is this an Opera problem or a graphics card issue?

I have very little money to spend every month, in part due to my Internet bill, and now Opera expects me to use Affirm to save me money on purchases I can not afford anyway. Opera has many good things going for it, but like a lot of businesses, their leaders appear to be punishing the less fortunate. I want to disable any sign of Affirm whenever I use Opera. Please help me to do so.

For example, a random thumbnail link on a Youtube channel will not appear, with just a white space in its place.

Or, at a local newspaper, some of the buttons to control display of the PDF edition, or parts of a banner ad, disappear in the same way.

Minimizing, then restoring, the tab remedies the problem, but of course it shouldn't be occurring in the first place.

I have absolutely followed all the steps to which you referred in your introductory posts, and this is strictly an Opera situation.

The monitor is a Dell 2009W analog, and I am quite aware that the company discontinued it, yet there are still plenty of them out there.

The options in the basic browser are limited to continental ones (Americas, Europe, Asia)
Do any of the addons available allow more specific settings? Say, a specific country? Or even a specific location, even in the US? You've probably heard of sites geolimited to a radius from a city.

Yes, I had a crash.
Yes, I had to reinstall Windows (10 Pro, it is all updated back to current)
Yes, I have a Windows.old folder on my system, chock full of application data.
Yes, I used Opera (post v100) when the crash happened.
Is there a way I can tell Opera to look in those folders and bring the data into my current installation?

If this has been covered recently, like since v90, show me where the response is. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I've noticed a slow process when a redirect URL is clicked-on in a web page (it's not particular to any particular kind)
The redirect URL comes up with a DNS failure, but then after a few seconds, apparently retries the URL, and the connection to the actual URL goes through.
Opera One(version: 100.0.4815.76)
System:Windows 10 64-bit (Win10 Pro, version 22H2)
Chromium version:114.0.5735.199

Version 99.0.4788.47, just upgraded yesterday (5 June).
Note at the top of this image (which is showing YouTube in the foreground), that the tab title is a duplicate of another tab's content, the streaming service Peacock to which I $ub$cribe.

Is this an Opera issue, or not?

@akanido Of course, I've also contacted Affirm, directly and through social media. This has to be brought out into the open.

@donq Solved. Thank you.

https://www.mlb.com/cut4/sean-casey-was-once-thrown-out-at-first-base--from-left-field/c-77879462 is from 2014, which obviously is since the initial release of Opera.
It has at least three animated GIFs, which fail to load.
If I right-click on any of them, and select open image in new tab, they load normally.
What to I need to do to make the GIFs load in the page?

@donq As of this morning it had cleared up, but I'll continue to monitor it. Hardware acceleration always puzzled me, sometimes it helps and sometimes it hurts.
