      Supported Browsers
      Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports the following browsers and versions:

      Google Chrome 69 or later
      Safari 12.1 or later
      Firefox 62 or later

      I'm using Opera Developer edition version 69.0.3638.0 on a Windows 7 64-bit Dell laptop.
      Can I tweak any settings in Opera to make it "look" like one of the supported browsers above?

      Interestingly, I tried the Brave browser and it seems to be supported i.e. it works.
      I don't want to use Chrome or Firefox, but obviously I would prefer to continue using Opera.

        @bcrosbie You need to contact Oracle and ask them to support Opera.

        For now you can try an extension to change the browser user agent.

          @leocg Thanks for your very prompt response, again. Unfortunately the browser user agent switcher did not do the job. I guess I will have to contact Oracle.

            @bcrosbie What exact user agent string did you use?

            Disable the extension, close Opera completely, open up a command prompt and start Opera with:

            "C:\Program Files\Opera Developer\launcher.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.149 Safari/537.36"
            

            (adjust the path to your launcher.exe using the "install" at the URL opera://about.)

            and see how it works.

            If it still doesn't work, hit ctrl + shift + j to see what errors are in the error console.

              @burnout426 Thank you very much for your very informative response - your command line prompt (modified for my launch path) worked perfectly, and I can now use my Oracle Cloud software within Opera.

              The extension I had tried was User-Agent Switcher by esolutionsnordicab (first one in the list, and most reviewed).

              Is it easy to locate documentation on things like the command line options? I could not seem to find it in the help.

                Hi @bcrosbie, you can find here the List of Chromium Command Line Switches - most of them should work in Opera. You can also launch the Opera from the command line with the switch "--help" or "/help", to see list of available Opera's switches.

                      @l33t4opera said in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure does not support Opera?:

                      ou can also launch the Opera from the command line with the switch "--help" or "/help", to see list of available Opera's switches.

                      Note that on Windows, this only works with opera.exe (not launcher.exe), and only when you redirect the output to a file.

                        The elasticity and configurability of infrastructure is part of why people move applications to the cloud.

                          @burnout426 Although the command line prompt option worked great for Oracle Cloud, my extensions were not enabled and I am unable to enable them because the Extensions site thinks I'm not running Opera! I guess I'll have to run with different options depending on what I will be doing. Pity.

                            @bcrosbie Try an extension that allows you to change user agent for specific sites.

                              @leocg I tried User-Agent Switcher by esolutionsnordicab (first one in the list, and most reviewed), but it did not work to allow me to run the Oracle Cloud software. There appear to be several - is there one in particular you have used and/or would recommend?

                                @bcrosbie This one and this other seem to allow you to set an user agent for a specific domain.

                                  @leocg Thanks for your help, again - the User-Agent 007 extension did the trick and seems to work great.
