It was working fine previously but it stopped connecting as of yesterday - still no luck. I think it may be a bug on Opera's end.

I am honestly convinced this thing does not work. 3 hours wasted trying to make it work.

@Bellsmm I just tried it and seems to work just fine. They had a problem indeed. Try again now if you will.

@Bellsmm it still doesn't work. I wouldn't waste your time trying until Opera devs confirm the fix. It looks to be a protocol error, so something isn't communicating within internal Opera systems, rather than a failure to communicate with GPT itself. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing you can do to fix this on your local machine unfortunately.

Just removed all traces of opera, then clean reinstall. Message when tried to use "I can’t summarize the Opera tabs yet because the Opera Browser Connector is not currently exposing them. I can see only a blank remote-browser tab.

"Please reconnect or enable the Browser Connector in Opera, ensure the extension shows Connected, then reply “Retry.” Keep the Opera tabs open"

Definitely a bug on their end

This worked great for like two days now ChatGPT says Opera is not connected when my browser says it is. Occasionally it connects for a moment then immediately drops. I tried everything it recommended to fix it, reinstalling, fiddling with my firewall, updates, but no dice. Hopefully they can fix it soon because it was so genuinely useful for research.

They seem to have broken it completely. Won't even install & set up.

Subject: Opera Browser Connector stuck on "Update required"

Description:

Opera Browser Connector continuously displays "Update required" and cannot connect to ChatGPT.

I have already:

• Updated Opera
• Enabled Early Bird
• Reinstalled Browser Connector
• Restarted Opera
• Signed in to my Opera account
• Enabled Allow AI connection
• Confirmed the ChatGPT plugin shows Connected

Despite these steps, ChatGPT reports "Browser not connected."

Please investigate whether this is a connector update, compatibility, or server-side issue.
