No luck here. I'm just living with it. It really bothers me in full screen view, but what can I do?

Hello,
Each time I open the Opera, I get a prompt right under the bookmark's tab that the extension update needs some additional permission, with a "Go to extensions" button (screenshot 1). After I click it I am taken to the Extensions page, in which I was not able to see anything to be updated at the first glance. I found in one forum thread here that there's a developer mode which can be enable - I did that and then I saw some sort of an "Update" button appearing (screenshot 2). I clicked it, for a moment a small information was shown saying that extensions were updated (screenshot 3), and I could see that there are no updates in the updates section (screenshot 4). However, when I closed and opened the Opera browser, the same prompt keeps popping up, even though there's no update to be done in the extensions tab.
What I tried to do:
- rebooted the Opera
- rebooted the computer
- cleared cookies and cache files in the Opera
- uninstalled and installed Opera again
- removed all extensions, so the only extension I have now is the Opera adblocker
- turned off Opera adblocker
Unfortunately none of the above helped.
It's very irritating that the pop up appears every time, and there's even no option to close as I can do is to use the "go to extension" button to open new tab, and only then it disappears.
Necessary details:
- Windows 10 Home 64-bit
- Opera v 72.0.3814.148
Could you please assist me with solving the problem?
Best regards,
Mateusz -

Look at this capture.

Please Opera, fix it.

I'm having the same issue and it's so annoying. Seriously considering switching to another browser.

Having the same problem, it must be the latest update. Do Opera read this or do we need to raise it as a bug/problem?

As of today, the same started to pop up here... and the only extension that I "have" is the ad-blocker one. I open the extensions manager and there's no way to accept any upgrade. Hope they fix this issue quickly

I am having this issue now.
I have the following extensions:- install chrome extensions
- Opera ad blocker
- Zotero connector
None seem to require update (they are all updated) or additional permissions.

I think I found a workaround. Start Opera with
--show-component-extension-options, after asking for permission, go to the extensions manager and update Rich Hints Agent. -

Today I started to get this popup message.
I disabled all the extensions and restarted browser but I still get the same error.
The extensions I have are:
- Install chrome extensions
- Opera ad blocker
- Zotero connector
These were working fine before.

@johnd78 said in Opera asking for permission to use user data:
