Cleared the browsing data, including cached images and files, and that did the trick, after it initially didn't seem to make a difference (left cookies, passwords, autofill, site settings and hosted app data unchecked).

Also played with other toggles in the privacy and security menu, so that might have helped too.

Just adding that removing the "Recently closed tabs" button was a poor idea indeed. The trick in the Flags section thankfully works. Otherwise thanks for a good browser that hardly ever fails me on desktop and mobile.

The icons/favicons have started repopulating, so unfortunately cleaning the cache is only a temporary solution...

Same here on version 67.0.3575.137. Pretty annoying.

Congratulations and thanks Opera! Patience is rewarded.
