      I guess this is a general issue and it needs to be fixed.
      I choose America on Youtube, then I open a video and the region location is set as my country.
      Chrome does not have such a problem

      Version:73.0.3856.284

        What exactly is the source of this problem?
        Why an authorized person does not answer?
        We are talking about a problem with this browser and nobody cares.
        I'll have to replace the scanner just because of this ridiculous problem

            @mami2000 See https://forums.opera.com/topic/39910/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-gx/1

            By the way, I don't see the problem happening here.

              @leocg yes, if you do not see a problem then there is no problem.
              It was a very helpful approach.
              Have you tried this? I don't think you tried.
              Go to Youtube and change the region, watch a few different videos. You will see on the Youtube logo whether it is the country you choose or the country you live in.

                  @skyangelus Right, I checked again and what I've seen is:

                  • I go to YouTube and change the region. It shows the country code has changed.
                  • I open a video and the country code changes to the one of my country
                  • I return to main page and it backs to the code of selected region

                  It happens here on Opera, Chrome and Edge, either I'm being logged in or not.

                  So I guess YouTube is just checking your IP/Location and returning back to the original one.

                      @mami2000 I also checked with Opera VPN turned on and YouTube assumed the location of the VPN IP address.
