Is geolocation broke in Opera 54.xxx?

All the below sights find my location in Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox.
None of these sites locate me in my Opera. Have tried multiple plain jane installations of Opera (USB, Beta, Developer, etc) to no avail.

Do these sites work for you? If they do then I'm really stuck trying something different.
Any ideas?

Hopefully they can fix it soon, this bug is super annoying.

@zalex108, the big question is do any of the sites above locate you?

Private windows, new installs, Sidebar settings extension doesn't work.

Yes,
They locate me.

Bing did it on a Private, so the extensions or settings blocks it on the custom profile.

Ps:
I'll recheck since not sure if tested on just Dev.

Ok,
I was wrong.

Tested on Stable and just https://www.where-am-i.co/ can find me, but on the second tab "What is my IP location?", and not too much accurate.

Oh boy. I misspoke! I had said I had tried it in a private window when I really hadn't! My bad.

All the sites above worked in a private window in Opera 54.xxx, Windows 8.1!!!

So what makes it work in a private window?

It doesn't work on my system!

PW runs the browser without user settings.
Just VPN and Adblock - there are options for extensions -.

Then,
Would be OS related.

private window!

Same here, I changed location in-country and today maps.google.com is showing correct position. No system updates or changes in settings done.

Multiple networks were tested on previous location without result.

Another day with all the above sites locating me.
Hope this was just a temporary glitch.

Another day and all the sites work again.
Should be noted that...

Don't work in a background window. They do
work if its the window that has focus.
