Hello, is there a way to download the Install Chrome Extensions extension... cause I've been trying to download some extensions from Chrome Web Store and it's not letting me. Maybe not all the extensions are available to download in Opera natively as I've been reading in this forum and I would need that extension to download what I need.

@rayas11 You should be able to install Chrome extensions. Can you post the link for the one you can't install?

@leocg nvm... I was having problems with the WiFi I was using, I just installed the extension I needed. Thanks for the help anyway.

Right now the web store is giving me error: "Download error: Download interrupted with reason: SERVER_BAD_CONTENT"

The addons work if I can pack them from somewhere. I wanted the Old Reddit Redirector, but no go.

I found a Tampermonkey script, so I'm fine right now, but sooner or later I'll need another extension. This is going to be a problem in the future.

It'd be great to find out why it happens.

@kramy That was fixed already, update your version of Opera.

I've not used Opera for a (lengthy) bit... Wanted to start again with it, and tried to install some extensions. Running an iMac, up to date. Consistently got the crx_file_not_readable error message. Rather than just resetting Opera, I deleted Opera completely and installed the current version (108.0.5067.24). I still consistently get the same error, with each extension I tried.

I noted the recommendation made in the past (in this topic: arshagarwal on March 7, 2021) about changing the permissions for site, but was unable to find the correct option ("site access"):
Click on the extension icon on the sidebar
Click on the "Install Chrome Extension" extension
Scroll down till you see site access
Enable this option - "Automatically allow access on the following sites"

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

@kahirsch said in Install Chrome Extensions:

Click on the "Install Chrome Extension" extension
Scroll down till you see site access
Enable this option - "Automatically allow access on the following sites"

This extension is not needed, you can directly install Chrome extensions in Opera

Thanks, but no go. As I mentioned, I get the crx_file_not_readable error message each time I try to install any extension.
Any other thoughts?

@kahirsch Installing https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm in Opera 108.0.5067.29 64-bit on Windows 11 23H2 works fine for me for what it's worth. Can't test on macOS.

I did a search on Google and seems to be caused by a VPN, can you try to disable all VPNs on your device (if any) and try again?

@kipperchau
Thank you for the search and thought, but disabling my VPN was one of the first things I tried. I should have mentioned this in my original post.

I should also note that I also tried disabling antivirus...
