Window organizer Magnet no longer working on Opera

My window organizer (https://magnet.crowdcafe.com/ – like probably any other) is no longer working with Opera.
Now I have to resize the Opera window with the mouse, which is much slower than by scripts or keyboard shortcuts (not to say annoying).In former Opera Versions there was a setting that let Opera use macOS standard UI windows. That made it work.
Now I can't find that setting anymore anywhere.Is there a hidden toggle or a workaround?

Ditto. This is super annoying. Did you find an answer? As far as I can tell the new MS Edge browser has the same type of UI but it does NOT have this problem. Magnet works just fine.

Yeah, I just probably going back to a browser that's not broken, like Safari. Has anyone actually asked Opera support? Surely they have to know about this though, right? Just not a priority?

@yyyc514 It is a strange conflict that I'd love to see sorted. To only a small degree, Magnet works. If I access magnet from my taskbar, I can see that I am given the option to center the window (which works). Unfortunately, all the other available options have been greyed out. I almost wondered if it was some sort of conflict with Opera hijacking keyboard shortcuts. I have noticed that some of my other system shortcuts don't work when Opera is active. Would love to see a fix for this!

It's originally about Opera for Windows but maybe it's affecting Opera for Mac too.

Having asked the Opera support team and waiting for the answer, I checkout the Vivaldi browser in the meantime.
Its windows have a similar look but they're working w/ Magnet. -

Vivaldi is really nice. I got tired of it crashed every few days or using ridiculous amounts of memory though. Perhaps they've fixed those things now.

FYI, Opera and Magnet are now playing nicely for me. I expect it could be due to me having updated to Catalina yesterday—or Opera has pushed an update.
