My school is using Canva for online learning and it doesnt work with this browser. It does in fact work perfectly fine with chrome and I dont want to be using 2 different browsers so is there a way it could work with opera?

How does it "not work"? Does it show some unsupported browser message, do you keep being sent to a login screen, etc.

In Opera, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the install path. Then, close Opera.

Ten, in the properties of Opera's shortcut, modify its shortcut target command to be:

"install path/launcher.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.102 Safari/537.36"

Or, do the same in a command prompt.

Or, install https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/extensions/mask_as_chrome.

Or, install https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher-5/, set it to "Chrome for Windows", but edit the "Chrome for Windows" string to be whatever chrome://version in Chrome current says for the user agent. Right now, that's Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.102 Safari/537.36.

Also, in Opera, disable any other extensions and turn off adblocking and tracking protection for the site.
