[Solved]Google sending old version of its page to Opera

also before it was random it would switch between old layout and new layout but now it seems stuck on the old layout

Mine seemed to always go to the old layout if I did a search from the url bar, but then if I clicked the "search" button on the results page it would reload to the new layout. Now, no matter what I do or how I get there, it seems to always be stuck on the old layout.

Are you all using the latest stable version: 45.0.2552.881?

If you download and run the portable version, does the problem happens?

I just installed Opera Portable and yes, the same thing is still happening. I did not perform a restart or cache clear though.

Hi,

I updated again and its update to date and I am still getting the same issue.

Version information

Version: 45.0.2552.881 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)
Browser identification

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36 OPR/45.0.2552.881

is what it says for me.

I installed that extension that @bebner linked and it solved the problem when I switched it to Firefox on Windows. Have yet to experiment with other user-agents.

Also, in what page the issue is happening? It would be www.google.com?

It appears to be just google's homepage as well as the search page. I have uploaded two screenshots of how it looks for me.

That said, I went to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Play and Google Analytics and they all displayed properly. Although not pictured I turned night mode off after and that did not fix anything.

The User-Agent Switcher extension Opera is good temporary remedy until they fix Opera.

You just right-click in a web page, highlight User-Agent Switcher and a list of web browsers pop up. If you click on Google Chrome, it will re-open that page using Google Chrome's code, right inside Opera. This is great because you don't have to use a different browser.

It is happening on https://www.google.com, and all search variants like Image search: http://i.imgur.com/rhTmyyY.png

I've also got the same issue as of May 26 as well.
As @joelkuiper has stated, enabling VPN seems to clear up the issue, as far as my end goes, and I'm running the latest update as well.

I'm still not able to reproduce.

Any anti-virus, anti-malware, privacy or related software being used?

@leocg On my end, I only have Avast, and I'm using the built in adblock on Opera.
I out my laptop to sleep last night, and turned it on today, and it showed the old layout when I first used Google about two hours ago. I just updated to the recent version about two hours ago, and it was still an issue until I turned on VPN.
I did a test when the layout switched on Opera, and much like others, the new layout was there on Chrome, but Opera had been reverted to the old layout.

From where you all are connecting? I managed to reproduce the issue by enabling the VPN and setting it to use the Canadian server, what means that Google may be sending the old page based on the user's ip address or location.

My google search results started looking exactly like your screenie today, after Opera updated to ver. 45.0.2552.881. Actually opened Edge & did google search. The results were in the current format (as opposed to Opera update's retro style)

Don't have any suggestions, but devs are bound to fix it with so many people reporting prob.

@leocg My IP location would be in the US. Is it just a location based thing or something?

I'm having the same issue. I am using Avira anti-virus, the most recent dev version of Opera on Windows 10, and I am located in Canada.

I don't know, I just found it interesting that the problem only happens when I use a Canadian IP.

I first noticed it after Opera updated to ver. 45.0.2552.881. Is anyone experiencing it with an older version?

@leocg So this issue does not duplicate when you use a US IP?
