Saw the other responses so chiming in. https://www.capitalone.com/ works for me here, too. Chromium and Opera. Thought for a second it might just sit and spin, but both suddenly loaded well and simultaneously. That's a micro-miracle on dialup. Banking type websites often take forever by themselves, let alone two instances successfully loading at the same time WHILE I'm ALSO performing yet other surfing. For the time being, I've (to date safely) allowed javascript to run on both browsers. To verify that before stating it, I just researched Opera's settings. Am currently unfamiliar with them because I JUST installed it couple days ago after a few years away from it. Opera took me to a specific preference feature for this: opera:config#Browser%20JavaScript I'm seeing a reference there about loading/not loading user javascript preferences. If you've been playing around with javascript *anywhere* out of safety concerns, maybe Capital One and similar not loading correctly could be directly or indirectly affected by that? With this many others of us not having any problems on multiple various browsers, I wonder what (other) secondary things might be interfering. I've run into website fail instances before where it was about cookies I'd block that I didn't know were necessary for that website's functioning. And it SEEMS LIKE there was one other fix that unfortunately escapes my mind this sec....
