        Getting this message frequently below the bookmark bar.
        I'm going into extension management, but there are no updates here.

        It started today after the opera update.

          Look at this capture.

          What opera are taking about? What upgrades "permissions" it need. I've 2 extensions and they're all updates.

          Please Opera, fix it.

            I'm having the same. They could at least say what extension is.

              @AltairAssassins Same here. Not only in Opera Stable, in Beta and Dev too.

                      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.

                                Having this issue too. I have no extensions installed other than the default Ad blocker.

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

                                    I just found this in another thread, tried it and it now seems to be fixed.

                                        So I may be dumb, but how do you do this? How do I "Start Opera with --show-component-extension-options"?

                                            I created a shortcut to Opera on my desktop, then right clicked on it to go to its properties, and in the Target field I added the --show-component-extension-options which in my case made the full target "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

                                            Then start Opera from that shortcut and go to the extensions settings to update the Rich Hints Agent extension.

                                            I'm not sure if there's an easier way to do this.
