        @leocg I had already tried it after formatting my PC without any add-ons even installed, but now I disabled all the add-ons including the Opera adblocker, and I still can't view the stories as they redirect to the profile pages of the respective people.

        I also just tried it with Chromium Edge (only other browser I have installed on my computer) and I viewed the stories just fine.

          I have the same problem on Opera GX and Opera developer, and i don't think extensions are the problem here.

            @KingKusuo Hey, the problem is finally resolved on my end, I can view the stories now. I haven't changed any setting, so maybe they fixed it internally? Can you check to see if it is fixed for you too?

                Well, the problem wasn't fixed for me after all

                          @KingKusuo Mine still won't work. Tried with the new 68.0.3618.150 version but it didn't help.

                            @Unbeknownst Really? I'm stuck on 68.0.3618.142, it says that there are no updates available

                              @KingKusuo Sometimes they don't make public some versions found at their FTP server, I guess. https://get.geo.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/

                                Same problem. Doesn't matter if you are on main page or person's page. Clicking story always redirects to person's instagram page.

                                I deleted all cookies and logged in again but not working for some reason. (I am not using sidebar extension)

                                  @KingKusuo Do stories still work for you? Mine stopped working again 25 days ago and I still can't view any Instagram story. And this persisted across different versions of GX.

                                      @LynXProdigy One day I'm able to view the stories, and the next day they are unavailable again, for weeks. Is this supposed to be a badly-executed A/B test?

                                          Anything? It's been happening to me forever now... Can't see stories on any browser (Tried Edge, Explorer and Opera GX). Doesn't work on the app from Microsoft Store either...

                                          I imagine it's some problem with instagram itself, right?

                                            @Alepe The problem was fixed after some updates to the GX. Maybe it's related to some privacy add-ons like LocalCDN, not sure, but it's working fine for me for at least two months.
