I found that Google Feedback links are broken for Opera. Every time I try to access a Google Feedback form on any of Google's websites (mail, accounts, calendar, etc) I get a Google 403 error. But on other browsers it works fine.

@sskakam You need to contact Google and report the issue, so they can fix it.

@leocg It doesn't seem like a Google problem if it works on other browsers. It looks like an Opera problem as to why it's not loading specifically on Opera.

@sskakam The error probably means that Opera is being blocked by the page/server, and I don't think Opera would ask to be blocked.

By the way, does it happen no matter if you are logged in or not? No matter if you use a normal or a private window?

@leocg I tried logged out of my google account, but I think you need to be logged in to access most of the google pages so you can't even provide feedback while logged out. The only Google page that works logged out is Youtube, and their feedback form works while logged out. But maybe Youtube's feedback website works differently than the standard suite of Google pages.

Interestingly, the Google 403 error comes up when I am signed into Youtube and try to provide feedback, but the feedback page works when I am signed out of Youtube.

@sskakam The feedback link broken is the one at the bottom of Google page?

@leocg Mostly through the Help question mark icon. I didn't even know there was a feedback link at the bottom of the page. But checking the link at the bottom also gives me an error on Opera, but still works fine on other browsers. See screen captures.

@sskakam Google is blocking Opera. if you use an extension to change the user agent, it will work.

@leocg That sucks. I guess it is a Google problem then. Thanks for all the replies!

@sskakam You can enable opera://flags/#freeze-user-agent, but it may cause issues in some Opera pages.
