The "add to homescreen" option doesn't work

I wanted to use Opera sometimes instead of Chrome, but there is one very important feature I need that doesn't seem to work - in Chrome, in the Developer Tools menu, under the Application tab, there is an option called "Add to homescreen" under the Manifest option, if the site has a manifest.json. The option comes in Opera, too, but when I click it no banner appears asking me to add it to my desktop. Please help, I really need to use this! I'm using Opera in Ubuntu 18.04, if it matters. Thanks in advance!

@cubetastic I think Opera simply doesn't support apps, so that option doesn't work.

@leocg But one of my friends, who also uses Opera, says he is able to use it!

@cubetastic With the same version of Opera and with the same site?

@leocg I know it's the same site, but I don't know if its the same version - but it probably is, because I have the latest version, and he probably would've, too.
