Hi,
I am using Avast Premium Security (19.8.2393) on my desktop. I have Opera browser on my computer but it is not possible to browse with it when Avast is active, I can not go to any website until I turn off Avast, then it connects immediately and start browsing. I uninstalled Opera and reinstalled, also uninstalled and reinstalled Avast but nothing changed. There is no such a problem with Firefox browser.
How can I fix this?
Avast is very active on my system and I'm replying to your via my Opera Browser.
The problem isn't with Avast and Opera but something in your settings.

I don't know if this applies to the current version of Opera, but didn't it previously have a free VPN function ?
If so and it is still available, couldn't this be having an impact on connections, possibly being blocked ?

What avast firewall mode do you have it set on, Private/Public ?
What error message (if any) is displayed by avast or Opera browser ?
By shutting down avast you don't find which component might be involved. Start by disabling the web shield and see if that resolves the issue. If not try disabling only the firewall.
