since yesterday's update some of my extensions - mainly Bitwarden and Vimium - have stopped working, after today's update I hoped things would go back to normal but they did not.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Opera 97.0.4719.28 MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 (M1)

I first noticed with this update that the Print function didn't work from a web page in Opera. The only way to make it work was to select Print Using System Dialog from the Print panel. Not very user-friendly. I did check with Chrome and Safari and they both worked fine.

Then I noticed that Bitwarden would not auto-fill. I could log in and find items in the vault, but it would not auto-fill. Once again, tested in Safari and Chrome and it worked fine.

I noticed other problems, notably Tab Suspender had stopped suspending tabs and Printlimator completely stopped working.

I did disable and re-enable extensions. I removed Bitwarden and reinstalled. No change.

So I installed an older version - 96.0.4693.31 - which is working fine. All of the above problems are gone. However, it could not open any of the existing tabs and I had to launch a new browser window and cut and paste each tab, a bit of a pain as I usually have at least 30 open and being used.

My biggest concern is that Opera will update the next time I have to reboot and I want to prevent that until I know that things are fine.

I have tried Opera Developer - which is at version 98 - to no avail, the issue remains the same, very annoying, it makes Opera unusable for me.
Opera GX - which is at version 96 - works fine

do we need to report a bug or what?

Sounds like it is time for a bug report given the lack of acknowledgement here.

I'm not all that bothered by using an earlier version except that it is set to auto-update when closed and reopened. Hopefully I won't have to do that until it's fixed.

@spike666 So I had to restart Opera and it auto-updated to 4719.43. Miraculously, everything seems to be fixed. I haven't tried every situation, but the printing is restored and the main extension I use that has to access URLs (Bitwarden) works. A non-native (Google) app that sends URLs to email also works. So it looks like it may have been solved. Hopefully it will work for more than a day.
