Title: Is there a problem with Opera?
Post by: Papyrus on March 24, 2026, 04:51:14 PM
I know Opera isn't the most popular browser, but there may be one or two of you out there who can help.

Opera has recently started refusing to co-operate. I can usually open one website, but when I try and open a second it crashes. Then if I try and close the first one it sulks and refuses to do anything, so I have to close Opera completely and start again. Until now it has been very reliable, but this has me stumped. I've run Ccleaner, switched off a number of start-up programs, I've even reloaded Opera, but nothing has worked and, yes, I've checked and I am running the latest version. I initially wondered if my laptop was failing (it is 5 years old) but everything else works just fine. I don't think it is the internet connection either – we are on full fibre and the router is in the same room.

Looking at various online forums, this doesn't appear to be a new issue but nobody seems to have an answer. If I decide I can't bear it any longer and go for a different browser, what do folks recommend?

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers,

Chris

I use Opera all the time on my Dell laptop and have not experienced any problems at all :no:

Wow, I've not used Opera since the last century - didn't think it was still going!

Try a different browser and port your favourites over.
