I see https://forums.opera.com/post/171766 that says you can use your Logitech mouse settings to have a profile just for Opera where you switch the buttons so that make Opera happy. Might be an option for a workaround for now.

OK. Final tests for you.

Remove any Opera profiles you added in your mouse settings.

Download chrome.7z under Assets at https://github.com/Hibbiki/chromium-win64/releases/tag/v150.0.7871.47-r1639810 to your downloads folder. Then in File Explorer, go to your downloads folder, right-click it and choose "Extract all". You should then have a "Chrome" folder in your downloads folder.

Then, hit Windows key + r, type cmd and press enter to open a command prompt.

Then, type:

cd "%userprofile%\Downloads\chrome\Chrome-bin"

and press enter to switch to the extracted folder.

Then, type dir and press enter to see the files (chrome.exe and the 150 folder etc.).

Then, type:

chrome.exe "--user-data-dir=%userprofile%\Desktop\Chrome150test"

and press enter to launch that version of Chrome with a test profile folder on your desktop.

Does that version of Chrome work fine too or are the buttons switched there like in Opera?

Then, close that Chrome.

Then, type:

copy chrome.exe opera.exe

and press enter.

Then, type:

opera.exe "--user-data-dir=%userprofile%\Desktop\Chrome150test"

and press enter to launch Chrome with its executable's name set to opera.exe.

How does Chrome behave then?

When you're done testing, you can exit the command prompt and you can delete the "Chrome150test" folder on your desktop and delete the chrome.7z and the "Chrome" folder in your downloads folder.

Opera Stable 134.0.5954.56 just came out. Make sure to update just to see if it's any different. Nothing in the changelog indicates that updating will help, but ...

Interesting that the standalone install behaves differently. If changing the mouse gesture settings affects it, that might help narrow down whether Opera is intercepting the side buttons rather than the mouse software itself.
