Problems with uploading images to Google, when using DNS from Cloudflare.
If you change it to Quad9, the problem disappears.

Other DNS, too, do not allow all the pictures to be uploaded to Google!

@kirill1996 What Google service specifically are you trying to upload images to - Gmail, Docs, Drive etc?

I can't see how DNS provider can make this happen, unless it gives the wrong IP for Google hosts.

"Photo search" in Google search.
Periodically, the problem appears.

I tried the following in a clean profile of Vivaldi 4.1 Stable:

Manually set Secure DNS provider to Cloudflare in chrome://settings/security.
Opened images.google.com
Checked in Wireshark it was actually using DoH, it was:
13325 16:13:19,244504 192.168.0.10 29151 chrome.cloudflare-dns.com 443 DoH 213 Standard query 0x0000 A images.google.com OPT
Uploaded an image using Search by Image > Upload an image.
It worked fine.

I did the same with Quad9, it also worked fine.

Please try the troubleshooting steps first:

Then open Devtools (F12) on the Google Image page before uploading an image, and look at the Network tab log and Console tab if you get any errors.

I couldn't repeat the bug again.
BUT, rarely, there is such a problem.
Moreover, it is by changing the DNS and "being treated"!

I, too, am doing well now.
The browser, I have already tried reinstalling it 2 times!

Reinstalling rarely helps with anything, as it does not actually clean your user profile unless explicitly selected during uninstall. It just replaced the binaries with the exact same ones, and serves no purpose.

But it works for you now, great

Reinstalling

Reinstallation - removing the program with cleaning the "traces" in the registry and installing from the offline installer, I meant

Pathduck

@kirill1996 I understand. But what's important is if this uninstall also removes the user profiles. If it does not, it makes no difference how many times you reinstall it.

Approximately the same is true in Vivaldi.
This problem appears periodically.
If you use Quad9, I have never seen this problem at all!
