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.

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-optionswhich in my case made the full target"C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-optionsThen 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.

@leocg If you download the last version I put in the name of the post, when you open Opera browser, you'll see that message. Take a look on the link and you can see the bug.
