      @Unbeknownst I've just checked here and it's working fine. Try cleaning cookies and cache.

        @leocg Thanks for the advice, but as I already mentioned, I even formatted my PC and nothing changed on my end. Maybe I should list my extensions (though I tried with a fresh install and I still couldn't view stories): uBlock Origin, AutoplayStopper, Grammarly, HTTPS Everywhere, IDM Integration Module, LastPass and Install Chrome Extensions.

        I hope the reason for this issue turns out to be an add-on so I can uninstall it and move on.

              @leocg I had already tried it after formatting my PC without any add-ons even installed, but now I disabled all the add-ons including the Opera adblocker, and I still can't view the stories as they redirect to the profile pages of the respective people.

              I also just tried it with Chromium Edge (only other browser I have installed on my computer) and I viewed the stories just fine.

                I have the same problem on Opera GX and Opera developer, and i don't think extensions are the problem here.

                  @KingKusuo Hey, the problem is finally resolved on my end, I can view the stories now. I haven't changed any setting, so maybe they fixed it internally? Can you check to see if it is fixed for you too?

                                @KingKusuo Mine still won't work. Tried with the new 68.0.3618.150 version but it didn't help.

                                  @Unbeknownst Really? I'm stuck on 68.0.3618.142, it says that there are no updates available

                                    @KingKusuo Sometimes they don't make public some versions found at their FTP server, I guess. https://get.geo.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/

                                      Same problem. Doesn't matter if you are on main page or person's page. Clicking story always redirects to person's instagram page.

                                      I deleted all cookies and logged in again but not working for some reason. (I am not using sidebar extension)

                                        @KingKusuo Do stories still work for you? Mine stopped working again 25 days ago and I still can't view any Instagram story. And this persisted across different versions of GX.

                                            @LynXProdigy One day I'm able to view the stories, and the next day they are unavailable again, for weeks. Is this supposed to be a badly-executed A/B test?
