The Other Issue I had was sometimes when downloading something from Mega the download would suddenly stop at a random percentage & close the Browser.
Doesn't matter what percentage 1% to 99% completet, & doesn't matter how many windows are open, the download would stop & all windows would close.
The problem is downloading in Incognito.
Don't use Mega in Incognito mode.

Don't use Mega in Incognito mode.

Same happens to me if I use my Opera VPN silent mode,
I bet it has something to do with the load up of the IPV6 and IPV4 that are all wonky because of the incognito mode.

Could be I don't know.
I think it's that & some other stuff too.
There's been other cases I've encountered when using Incognito mode with different websites, but not like it's Incognito malfunction but more like some sites don't want people using it cause site cookies or something.

Like when certain sites require you to turn off AdBlock so they can shove Ads in your face, I think it's something similar.
And I also found out Opera isn't supported by many sites either, many of the sites I visited when using Opera would work oddly.
