I was using smartup gestures, a Chrome extension, because the Opera mouse extension was not very useful.
However, this extension was blocked a few days ago. How can I use it again?
I tried other extensions but they were not as successful, and I also had my own mouse movements, but these movements did not work in the others.

@climanjaro What the message says?
If the extension was blocked because it was added to a blocklist, it won't work.

See https://chrome-stats.com/d/bgjfekefhjemchdeigphccilhncnjldn for why it was removed and blacklisted.

Yes, it says so.
But why doesn't it work..
Already I can't customize Opera's own mouse shortcut, it should at least let us install it.
I've been an Opera user since 2001... I think Opera should have stayed on the Presscott core.
It got worse when the Chromium core was used.
In the past, Opera used to find every feature before other browsers, now it doesn't even develop extensions.
It uses Chrome extensions and remains dependent on Chrome.
Unfortunately, the same applies to Opera mobile.If this continues, we will have to switch to alternative browsers.

You can try the Chrome crx file for SmartUp from https://github.com/zimocode/smartup/releases to see if it works and remains in Opera. If not, you can extract that crx file with 7-zip, edit its manifest.json to remove the
"update_url":"value",line and the"key":"value",line (if present). Then, in Opera, you can goto the URLopera://extensions, turn on developer mode, click "load unpacked" and point it to the folder where the manifest.json you edited is at. That will load your local version of the extension that Opera shouldn't be able to blacklist.Use the extension at your own risk of course.

It Worked. Thank you so much.
I tried another extension but I didn't run a command.
For example:
I use the "UP" command to go to the speed dial screen as in the picture below
However, this command didn't work in the other extension.
My homepage is the speed dial page.
I use it to go to the speed dial screen without closing the active tab and open another page from there.
If this command doesn't work, I have to close the active tab first, then open a new tab and then go to the address. It's extra work.
