The issue itself is related to the AdGuard browser extension which I was using, but have stopped for the time being. I seemed to notice the issue maybe about a few weeks ago, where some images in my browsers weren't being displayed right. (They would either show up as icons/thumbnails or there would even sometimes just be blank spaces where the images should have loaded.) So as a sanity check, I decided to do a few 2nd-opinion scans on my pc & Zemana AntiLogger was the only 1 to find a few infections which I promptly removed. I also did some troubleshooting on my own & even had a few remote sessions with a Microsoft agent, but somehow, I STILL was having the same issue! On my 2nd remote session, a different Microsoft agent suggested doing a clean install of Windows to see if that would fix/rectify the issue- it didn't do anything. (And when I did all the troubleshooting that I did earlier, I found that nothing else was really wrong with my pc from what I could find. Also, I have noticed that the images would load fine if I had the extension disabled. To be clear: this issue isn't apparent on everywebsite; only specific ones.)
For anyone who's interested, there will be a few links to some other recent forum posts I made going about the problem in more detail.

I'm not really sure if this is an unresolved bug/glitch that has yet to be corrected by the AdGuard team or not. Nonetheless, I would appreciate any advice/suggestions/tips/recommendations, etc! And if you need any more details or have any questions for me, ask away & I'll get right back to you!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
Opera GX, the only web browser in the market to position itself as a ‘gaming browser,’ is introducing new features in its latest ‘birthday update.’ Opera GX was launched in June 2019 during the E3 gaming expo and raked in a million downloads in a couple of months. The company claims that the browser has experienced a 121% growth in monthly users since the end of 2019.
The browser has an array of features for gamers like CPU, RAM, and network limiters, as well as Twitch, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp integration. It also has all the features from the main Opera browser, including a free built-in browser VPN, ad blocker, as well as Workspaces - a tool for better tab grouping.
The latest update brings three new features:
- Built-in Discord support: With native integration of Twitch, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and now Discord in the sidebar, Opera GX makes it easy to stay on top of conversations with online friends as well as online trends and streams.
- Hot Tabs Killer: The feature allows users to identify the most resource-draining tabs and close them to make sure the browser doesn’t overburden the PC or laptop.
- Force Dark Pages: This new feature forces brightly designed pages to become dark to stop that blinding glare. It injects its own changes to a site's styles to turn bright backgrounds dark. The feature is currently in beta and must be explicitly switched on.
