Sidebar for YouTube™

It appears that any site that sends the x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN header won't load in a sidebar extension that uses an iframe to load the site because Opera is following that security directive and blocking the loading of the site.

Installing https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ignore-x-frame-headers/gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe/related?hl=en-US might help. Make sure to enable it for search page results too so it works for Google sites. If that works for you, you should try to set the extension to only work on the sites used by your sidebar apps.

To fix the blocked error, install this extension from the chrome webstore on top of this one: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sidebar-for-youtube/ffnhapbeebfgpgkfoacmekkjnnmkgbbo

You can create your own extension that does what that extension does.

Create a folder on your desktop named "no frame-options headers for youtube".

Then, create the following 2 files in that folder:

manifest.json:

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "SFY Helper",
    "version": "0.1",
    "description": "Fix the Sidebar for Youtube Opera Extension by remove frame-options headers",
    "permissions": [
        "declarativeNetRequest",
        "declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess"
    ],
    "host_permissions": [
        "*://*.youtube.com/*"
    ],
    "declarative_net_request": {
        "rule_resources": [
            {
                "enabled": true,
                "id": "headers",
                "path": "rules.json"
            }
        ]
    }
}

rules.json:

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "condition": {
            "urlFilter": "||youtube.com^",
            "resourceTypes": [
                "sub_frame"
            ]
        },
        "action": {
            "type": "modifyHeaders",
            "responseHeaders": [
                {
                    "operation": "remove",
                    "header": "frame-options"
                },
                {
                    "operation": "remove",
                    "header": "x-frame-options"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

Then, goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, click "load unpacked" and point it to that folder on your desktop.

@burnout426: I did this and I'm still getting "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE" any ideas?

@otirrub Hmm, I just checked it all again by following my steps and coping the code from my post. Still works for me. Do you get any errors shown next to the extension at the URL opera://extensions?

Any difference if you restart Opera? Any difference if disable your other extensions one by one to test if one is interfering?

Does it work fine in a test standalone installation?

Look at the host_permissions in manifest.json. If you're in a country where it's youtube.fr or something, you might have to adjust it so that it will match.

@burnout426: I tried disabling my other extensions with no luck. On the extension page it says "This extension may soon no longer be supported". Could it be because I'm using Opera One? I'll see if it works on gx.
