i use the opera browser on my phone, and used to use the opera gx browser on my pc a few years back. i'm trying to install opera again now, (gx or plain opera) and i'm unable to.
when i try to download, the installer crashes and closes after 5 seconds on the install page. i can barely choose where to install it before it closes - sometimes i can't even get to the part where i click to install it before it crashes.
when i finally am able to get as far as to click install, every time it slows down and crashes eventually.
i'm unsure on why this is happening, as i had zero issue installing opera on the same pc before (2021-2022 ish?).
i have already tried the offline installer.
i'm thinking it's an issue with my antivirus detecting opera as malware, but i don't want to turn off my antivirus without being confident in this first. i would appreciate any help with this!!
