@rayas11 You should be able to install Chrome extensions. Can you post the link for the one you can't install?

@leocg nvm... I was having problems with the WiFi I was using, I just installed the extension I needed. Thanks for the help anyway.

Right now the web store is giving me error: "Download error: Download interrupted with reason: SERVER_BAD_CONTENT"

The addons work if I can pack them from somewhere. I wanted the Old Reddit Redirector, but no go.

I found a Tampermonkey script, so I'm fine right now, but sooner or later I'll need another extension. This is going to be a problem in the future.

It'd be great to find out why it happens.

@kramy That was fixed already, update your version of Opera.

I've not used Opera for a (lengthy) bit... Wanted to start again with it, and tried to install some extensions. Running an iMac, up to date. Consistently got the crx_file_not_readable error message. Rather than just resetting Opera, I deleted Opera completely and installed the current version (108.0.5067.24). I still consistently get the same error, with each extension I tried.

I noted the recommendation made in the past (in this topic: arshagarwal on March 7, 2021) about changing the permissions for site, but was unable to find the correct option ("site access"):
Click on the extension icon on the sidebar
Click on the "Install Chrome Extension" extension
Scroll down till you see site access
Enable this option - "Automatically allow access on the following sites"

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

@kahirsch said in Install Chrome Extensions:

Click on the "Install Chrome Extension" extension
Scroll down till you see site access
Enable this option - "Automatically allow access on the following sites"

This extension is not needed, you can directly install Chrome extensions in Opera

Thanks, but no go. As I mentioned, I get the crx_file_not_readable error message each time I try to install any extension.
Any other thoughts?

@kahirsch Installing https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm in Opera 108.0.5067.29 64-bit on Windows 11 23H2 works fine for me for what it's worth. Can't test on macOS.

I did a search on Google and seems to be caused by a VPN, can you try to disable all VPNs on your device (if any) and try again?

@kipperchau
Thank you for the search and thought, but disabling my VPN was one of the first things I tried. I should have mentioned this in my original post.

I should also note that I also tried disabling antivirus...
