Do not download the old, presto-based, opera. It is obsolete now and it does not work properly on many sites, especially ones that are on https.

The installed extension is on version 2.3.0, which is the same on addons.opera.com.

I have been using the new opera since version 43 was on developer channel and that is when I installed the extension for getting chrome ones.

The problem is where will you get an old version of opera? The repo only provides opera 47 for 64bits and 45 for 32 bits, which is also what the download page will get you, whether you like it or not

You might want to use this ext instead: In addition to it being an installer, you can also view the code with it without installing first (good to browse for http and https for possible tracking), and with CRX one can also download extensions as ZIP. Works also on Mozilla/FF addons and possible elsewhere.

Hi @escalepion, @jimunderscorep, the versions of old Opera on Presto engine, and versions of new Opera are available on the official ftp servers, for example: versions 11.00 to 12.16 of old Opera for Linux are placed here, the versions of new Opera stable are here. You can also find the rest of old Opera's versions archived here.

/FF addons and possible elsewhere.

Thanks a lot! That extension worked perfectly!
The extension "Download Chrome Extension" works for me but only in Windows, while in Linux (Kubuntu 16.04.3) it makes the browser crash when I try to install an addon from the Chrome Store.

Good news everyone!
The extension was updated to 2.4.1 today and it is working again

As it seems, it was a linux specific issue. Gj devs.
