You can create your own extension that does what that extension does.

Create a folder on your desktop named "no frame-options headers for youtube".

Then, create the following 2 files in that folder:

manifest.json:

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "SFY Helper",
    "version": "0.1",
    "description": "Fix the Sidebar for Youtube Opera Extension by remove frame-options headers",
    "permissions": [
        "declarativeNetRequest",
        "declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess"
    ],
    "host_permissions": [
        "*://*.youtube.com/*"
    ],
    "declarative_net_request": {
        "rule_resources": [
            {
                "enabled": true,
                "id": "headers",
                "path": "rules.json"
            }
        ]
    }
}

rules.json:

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "condition": {
            "urlFilter": "||youtube.com^",
            "resourceTypes": [
                "sub_frame"
            ]
        },
        "action": {
            "type": "modifyHeaders",
            "responseHeaders": [
                {
                    "operation": "remove",
                    "header": "frame-options"
                },
                {
                    "operation": "remove",
                    "header": "x-frame-options"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
]

Then, goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, click "load unpacked" and point it to that folder on your desktop.

@burnout426: I did this and I'm still getting "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE" any ideas?

@otirrub Hmm, I just checked it all again by following my steps and coping the code from my post. Still works for me. Do you get any errors shown next to the extension at the URL opera://extensions?

Any difference if you restart Opera? Any difference if disable your other extensions one by one to test if one is interfering?

Does it work fine in a test standalone installation?

Look at the host_permissions in manifest.json. If you're in a country where it's youtube.fr or something, you might have to adjust it so that it will match.

@burnout426: I tried disabling my other extensions with no luck. On the extension page it says "This extension may soon no longer be supported". Could it be because I'm using Opera One? I'll see if it works on gx.

otirrub @burnout426

@burnout426: I just installed it along with your SFY Helper on opera GX and it worked! must be something with Opera One then?

I only tested in Opera One 113.0.5230.86 64-bit on Windows 11 23H2 and it's working there. Not sure. Does it work in a test standalone installation of Opera One?

That error/warning is fine for now. Opera is given you that error because the Sidebar for Youtube extension is a manifest 2 extension instead o a manifest 3 one. Due to changes in Chromium, manifest 2 extensions will no longer be supported in most Chromium-based browsers soon.
