How to opt-in and upgrade to the new Opera AI in your browser

Unfortunately there are some caveats with Opera AI right now, that I have to bring to attention here:
-
It sometimes happens that no answer is given in the chat for whatever reason. I haven't found a regularity, but it mostly happens in case I add a picture..
-
I had to realize that old chats that I had deleted from the chat history reappear again, even after deleting them twice or three times.
-
Whenever I open Opera AI in the sidebar, it shows: read site context toggled on. This gives me the maybe false impression that every site or tab island is already read by Opera AI without giving it permission. I think it should be the other way around: I should make the toggle on manually by my own conscious decision.
I address these three things as to say, that in this way Opera AI isn't really prime time ready.
As long as these issues aren't solved you'd better stay with Aria in my humble opinion or use another browser. -

Hello. I think you messed this up badly. The ai button is in the wrong place. I would like to put it back on the left menu bar.

Why did you remove the Aria Chat from the left side of the screen, I am okay with Opera AI on the left,
but Aria is part of my routine, with Opera AI fixed on the right it is worse than Aria being locked to the left.we need to experience this with familiarity, this makes the entire Opera Browser feel like a clone browser knockoff
We need the Aria chat bot back, even if it is just a shell to Opera AI.

The Aria AI button on the right side now does nothing except open a flyout that reduces my screen size.
A blank flyout by the way, so I can't even do anything with it!
I want the old ARIA back!
I loved that it overlayed the screen!
This is horrible! -

Overlay AI made so much sense and now that it's moved to the side it's quite antiproductive, hope it'll be fixed in a new version otherwise please let us know how to revert to old aria

I see the Ask AI button at the top right. Can this please be added to the sidebar as it was previously. This new functionality is more difficult to use and breaks the normal work flow. The overlay made much more sense.

Why can't I have Opera AI in the side bar where Aria was? seriously... it t\even took me a while to find where it oved too, I don't like it up there, and it seems like others don't either.... let us decide, don't just move it and leave no way to move it back or revert to the old AL model.

Just received a response from Opera directly after I submitted a bug report.
In browser bar, enter opera://flags
Choose Disabled and restart.
It is back to what it was before.
Just a shame it took me this long to get the answer.

@DeeBeeEff thanks so much.
I assume this will revert to the original Aria and we will not have access to any new features. -

@deebeeeff: The vast majority of important websites do not recognize the Opera browser; e.g., MS mail, various banking & financial websites, PayPal, etc.

@DeeBeeEff Just remind that the solution is temporary and will cease to work when the flag is removed.

Doesn't mean you can't use it.
I have been getting that warning for years on my Schwab account. I ignore it and use it just fine.
And I think "the vast majority" is way overstating it.
I used it with all of my banks and PayPal today without any issues. -

@UNCLEJUNIOR Sure they do. Some MS sites don't because they are bad sites that do not conform to the web standards. (like apple trying to make everything proprietary.)
I the odd event a site is coded poorly, there are other browsers for that one site (probably already on your computer/device ce) and then you get Opera goodness for the other 99.5%
