<![CDATA[[Solved]"Skip to Main Content" showing on every page]]>Hi there,

For the last few days I’ve noticed that Opera is defaulting to showing accessibility menu options on different websites, including Google and Facebook. This usually shows up as “skip to main content” on Google, and when I press the arrow keys in Facebook, the accessibility controls take over.

This is happening on multiple Macs, both on Mojave, and is something that only started happening within the past few days.

The problem only appears when I open up a new tab; if I reload the tab, the accessibility function goes away entirely.

I see that @beboss is also running into this problem with a developer build on Catalina. That makes me think that this might have been something that got into a stable build.

This finally has been fixed in the latest developer release ( 68.0.3589.0 ): https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-68/

"DNA-84007 ‘Skip to main content’ visible on Mac without pressing Tab".

I can confirm that it no longer shows up when doing searches on google.

We can hardly do anything else at the moment, unless someone finds a solution by chance (and tells us about it).

I'll tell everyone to use Vivaldi instead.

The developers seem to have more important things to do...

Versions: 66.0.3515.44
OSX: 10.14.6

PS. I took the effort to make an account with Opera to report this very annoying behaviour! Given lots of people are reporting, maybe someone at Opera should give a F*ck?!
PS2. I'm pretty sure I'm going to move away from Opera when this is not fixed soon

Since I displayed the sidebar, I don't have any "Skip to main content" messages or buttons to press anymore. It works for me. I suppose you've probably already set Opera to its original state (restore). Maybe it's still useful to check the extensions.

I'm still getting the "Skip to main content" box every single time on google search results.

I have just made a discovery (a workaround?). Normally, I've hidden the sidebar because I don't like the design with the upright buttons, but as a test, I've displayed the sidebar, and there you go: The "Skip to content”-messages have disappeared. Fingers crossed!

This is so annoying—the fact that this navigation annoyance has been a problem for more than a month and they don’t seem any closer to fixing it makes me really want to switch browsers.
