New YouTube Problems with Opera 12.17

Masking as Chrome was bad idea at all. Sorry, my bad.
Fully working solution for Youtube (now you can make your own comments too):
Use these strings:
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Opera 12.16
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Opera 12.16
User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Opera 12.16

I though you were talking about some...
Hey, they've actually changed shit, and now I can't comment either.
Stng, can I use your solution for Opera 11? The video is fine - only comments? -

I can't imagine any reason why it wouldn't work in Opera 11.
Just try it and see!
You can always back up your override.ini file and restore it if the new entries do cause problems.

How's this weird way of sharing files? -

I must apologizes for my solution, such that stng 's solution is the appropriate solution. Selective masking is truly better than global masking. After all, the problem only occurs on youtube and google. I like using Opera, and hope sites would recognize me using opera rather than a Firefox mask.
I have applied stng 's solution and it worked. However, I did have a hard time finding override.ini because that's for Mac users. For windows, it's called override_downloaded.ini.Also, where do you get these User agent strings? Is it better to use the most updated one? I tried both Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 and the one stng provided, but there is no difference.

Strange, I'm on Windows and override.ini is there on my system!
override_downloaded.ini is the file that's downloaded from Opera containing fixes for sites with known problems, a bit like browser.js, although I suspect that it's not being updated on Opera 12 any more.
The fix will work if override_downloaded.ini is modified rather than override .ini, but the latter should be used ideally as that's user specific and override_downloaded.ini isn't.
The default user agent strings are unfortunately hard coded into opera.dll, so can't easily be changed or updated.

hello guys.
id like to list my problem not only with youtube, but also with facebook (when you click on the newseed on the right panel the windows with someone else's activity wont go away) and discus (when you have an update about your account and you click to see it the screen turns just grey)
now i will try the partial masking and i will try to extend it to the other sites. sure thing is when you tamper with facebook and youtube you dont have much place to run to, now have you.

YouTube works nice with 11.
No it doesn't. Comments, for one, are mashed text.
Somebody doesn't like Facebook here?
How's this weird way of sharing files?That's the strangest Opera lay-out I've seen.
And the way quoting works in this forum, with no names cited, is the worst I've ever experienced.
@maffa: I have the same thing with Disq.us, but does the solution showed here, work for that as well? What domain do you add then? -

You try copypasting if you're not with Opera Presto.

I have solution for this problem, that doesn't needs to directly edit configuration file and relaunch Opera.
http://redd.it/2ltsrb-
Temporarily turn off automatic redirection: Preferences (Ctrl-F12) -> Tab 'Advanced' -> 'Network' -> Uncheck 'Enable automatic redirection'
-
Temporarily turn off JavaScript execution: Quick Preferences (F12) -> Uncheck 'Enable JavaScript'
-
Open plus.googleapis.com and turn on user agent spoofing for it: Quick Preferences (F12) -> 'Edit Site Preferences'... -> Tab 'Network' -> In dropdown list 'Browser identification' select option 'Identify as Firefox'
-
Repeat step (3) for plus.google.com and apis.google.com
-
Undo steps (1) and (2)
-
Refresh desired YouTube web page(s)
Done!
Actually, it is editing of 'override.ini' too, just done through Opera's GUI. String 'User Agent|Spoof UserAgent ID=2' does similar influence on YouTube as 'User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=...'

You'll need to use the custom CSS method to stop the slow loading.
It sounds complicated, but it does work!

Without patched opera.dll (for an updated User-Agent stings), masking as obsolete Firefox/IE version is not quite good idea.
By default, Opera can spoof it's identifiy for a web-site with IDs of "antique" Firefox 4.0 and Internet Explorer 9.0 versions .
Override.ini is better method because you are free to set any identify of the browser(via User-Agent string) for specific web-site. -

Adding a custom User-Agent string is something that it would have been great to have had in the site preferences dialogue, along with site by site "fit to width", but they were sadly never implemented, and now won't be of course!

My solution was only about YouTube's comments, nothing else. For that purpose it works well. For other websites, I usually visiting, I don't have any problems.
Actually, initially I have edited 'override.ini', but then decided to find a more GUI'ish way, to make instructing by phone easier.
