Google Maps problem with Opera with Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS ?

Using latest Opera: Version:99.0.4788.13 but can't use all functions of Google Maps, such as 2D and 3D as you can using Chrome and Firefox.

On Chrome and Firefox you sign into Google Maps and all functions work.

But on Opera I can't use the 2D and 3D functions.
You get this message from Opera: "Google Maps does not have permission to use your location."

How do you correct this for Opera and give this permission to Google Maps?

@cybrsaylr Take a look at opera://settings/content/location

@leocg Went into settings, then full settings, then advanced setting and could not find 'content' or 'location' anywhere.

@cybrsaylr Copy and paste the URL in address bar

@leocg Did that and get a page: Privacy and security/Location, with much below that I can't make sense of.

Very confusing.

@cybrsaylr This was no problem when using Google Maps with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. All functions worked fine.

This problem began when using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

@cybrsaylr Strange. If you go to settings page, can you see Site Settings?

@leocg I go into settings page and see Site Settings.
Open that and a big confusing page opens with lots of other who knows what! Go down that and hit another 'additional Site Settings' open that to many more confusing things that who knows what they are for!

As I said all this is quite confusing!

@cybrsaylr When using Chrome or Firefox, you simply open Google Maps, it asks you to sign in, you do that and give permissions and it's done. Everything and all functions work fine.

Opera used to be that way but for some reason not anymore.

@cybrsaylr Confusing how? It just shows the content of the site settings section.

In that section you should see an area for location where you can check if a page is allowed or not to know your location.

@leocg I go there and right at top is a blue circle indicating, 'Sites can ask for your location'.

Lower down in, Allowed to see your location: I see: 'https://www.google.com:443
embedded on any host' is allowed.

Google Maps shows me signed in but I cannot go into 2D or 3D functions like when using Chrome, Firefox or like Opera did in the past.
