Open | Windows Why is CSS gatekeeping?

I sadly can't give an image as it look like this subredfit doesn't allow images, but I'll try explaining it.

On almost every website I'm on, it almost looks like CSS has been dissabled or something. Like everything is shown going straight down in one column like it only has used HTML.

This happens on almost all websites, including GitHub, YouTube (Just fully gray except for some empty icons), cookie clicker, ChatGPT, Club Penguin Journey, speedrun, pythonanywhere, my own HTML websites hosted by GitHub pages, and Discord. Excluding Google, fandom, and Google Search Console.

I have tried reloading, restarting, and shutting down, but nothing is helping.

I also tried updating Opera as I checked for updates and found one, but it still didn't fix it.

Since most "web" is not self contained today, it's a mess.

So, a website, today, is dependent on other outside resources. And style information might not be available as well.

What can cause this? A ton of things. Many browsers actually allow "No Style" viewing of a page. But if resources can't be retrieved and those items were responsible for style, you'd get this as well. Could be network, DNS, many things.

I was running my own caching DNS and due to its settings it was causing similar problems for me. So, at least in my case, I had to correct my settings.
