This is the first time this happened and I have not idea if Discourse team supports operation on Opera but it’s not loading when block ads setting is enabled. Opera has a default Block Ads setting and I have no other ads blocker installed.
I have also checked this on other browsers with ads blocker but it works perfect on those browser. It just started to happen on Opera today.
AI-generated summary
Discourse is not loading on Opera when the Block Ads setting is enabled, reports thegurjyot. Remah suggests checking the JavaScript settings in Opera, but thegurjyot confirms that JavaScript is allowed. The issue only occurs on Meta Discourse, not on other Discourse websites or with other browsers. Remah recommends whitelisting the website, and checking for other possible issues such as blocked cookies. However, other users, including anon48433008 and Justin_Vega, report no issues with Opera.
It sounds like you are blocking javascript. Check the Opera preferences.
- Go to Settings .
- Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security .
- Under Privacy and security , click Site settings .
- Click JavaScript .
- At the top, turn on or off Allowed (recommended) .
I just checked, the Javascript setting is on Allowed (Recommended). But as I enable the Block ads settings then only the website doesn’t open well. Moreover, my own discourse website works even when Block Ads setting is enabled. Only this Meta Discourse website is acting strange from this morning.
So whitelist it in Opera. If the problem still occurs then it is probably something else other than blocking JavaScript. You might, for example, have blocked cookies.
