      It's an other benefit, that in this case the extension autmatically switches itself as ON.

      Thanks, loki-dog for the good idea!

        We should start spamming Google forums with this issue.

            For anyone already using Tampermonkey, create a new script with the metadata below

            copy the browser identification from Opera > About Opera

            paste into metadata, remove OPR/ and everything after OPR/

            save and test google

            // ==UserScript==
            // @name       Google Fix
            // @namespace  
            // @version    0.1
            // @description  enter something useful
            // @include    *.google.*
            // @user-agent paste browser identification here
            // ==/UserScript==

                        But why you don't want to use "Permanent Spoof List" and add only Google to it? 🙂 It seems to work well.

                        Herrpietrus, I tried but it did not seem to work. If it worked for you tell me how and what you entered and where in the options. I tried all sort of variations and nothing changed! I gave up and thought to change the code. I also thought why is there not an option to change the default, and did it myself.

                        The "User-Agent Switcher" for Chrome also has a right-click on the icon method for switching user agents - so if Facebook is squirrelly you can just switch them. So it's like the For-Opera-Extension "User-Agent Switcher" with the addition of automation.

                          I had to change the Default User-Agent from Opera on Windows to Chrome on Windows, because UA as Opera had more problems on other pages. It works perfectly, but so I seem to be Chrome, not Opera. 😞

                            They have just updated Opera to version 21, but didn't fix this problem! 😞

                              It is not an Opera problem.

                                Well, in User-Agent Switcher, if you select Opera 10, it still works. So my guess is google doesn't recognize Opera as Opera. It identifies it as Internet Explorer 6, or 7, or 8...

                                  I can't solve the problem neither with user-agent switcher nor deleting cookies. Now there's also another problem: when I search for a video by using google, when I click on a youtube result it can't load the page.

                                    I am having the same problem, and the user agent switcher isn't a good solution for me. When I have the agent switcher enabled, gmail will not load and other sites are slow or display in an outdated format. Is there any way to automatically enable the user agent switcher for google only, and have it disable itself for all other sites? I am not tech-savvy in the least and am having a hard time figuring this out. Thanks... this issue really blows.

                                      Select an updated browser in the extension. If "Chrome on Windows" isn't working add a new one in the extension options and use that.
                                      E.g. Name: Blah
                                      User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/34.0.1847.132 Safari/537.36

                                        rafaelluik: Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, I still have the same issues after following your instructions... I am thinking about switching search engines altogether until this is fixed 😕

                                          Google is blocking Opera, if you choose Chrome user agent, you get the new interface of Google.

                                            Is this a bug or an intentional/malicious feature? Google displays the current version in Opera 12, and gmail and other google sites work fine for me in Opera 20. If Google was blocking Opera on purpose, wouldn't these be affected too?
