@ljfried @ljfried I have been having the same issue since yesterday. I regularly clear my cookies and history and do not have any extensions and have not been able to find a fix yet. This is happening across my devices and only in Opera (I use Air). NYT works fine in Chrome, Safari, and the app. It does seem to be a specific Opera issue. The article loads and in 1 second disappears.
I have everything synced across my devices, but this does not work well in Opera. Only bookmarks sync, not history.
NYT does note that the preferred viewing browsers are Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Strangly the Help Center on NYT loads fine in Opera - https://help.nytimes.com/4403549704468-Web-troubleshooting.
Further the NYT landing page loads, it is only the articles that do not load. I was able to logout and log back in on NYT by using the help page, but that did not make a difference either. So I will be using Chrome and the app in the meantime and continue to check Opera, which I suspect needs a patch.
