@rafiki Hidden extensions exist in other browsers too, they are a way to add resources.

@leocg I'd be interested to know what benefit an Aliexpress or Amazon hidden extension will add to my experience. I cannot disable them or disallow permissions. I even wonder if that complies with the EU GDPR.

@xtorbax I have also been able to tun Opera with the show-component-extension-options and found the Rich Hints Agent requiring the update. I updated it and the banner is no longer appearing. But having found all these hidden and impossible to disable agents was extremely disappointing and I'm afraid I lost my confidence in Opera.

@xtorbax said in Extension upgrade requires additional permissions...:
Having a CryptoTokenExtension is even more worrisome.
It's probably what makes the crypto wallet works.

@rafiki Aliexpress probably is related to the Continue Shopping feature.

Keepskite last edited by Oct 22, 2020, 7:30 PM@leocg I want to believe you but something that can read and change data, settings, even copy and paste contents not to mention being enabled in private window when all other legit extensions are not has an uphill battle to show they are harmless.

@leocg Why can I not withhold permissions? I don't use that 'feature'.

@AltairAssassins if you enter opera.exe --show-component-extension-options you will see a list of updates and the first one is Rich Hints Agent and just update it.

graywoulf last edited by graywoulf Oct 22, 2020, 8:02 PM Oct 22, 2020, 7:35 PMWhy am I getting an annoying popup concerning updating my Opera extensions? I clicked on the update button and it apparently takes care of it but the popup keeps coming back over and over.
Apparently no one knows the answer to this issue. How it got shuffled in with the "Ignore" this subject thread I don't know. So, I am done here.

I am having the same issue. The drop-down appeared today for the first time and now, every time I start the browser and open ANY website (I tested it with literally anything I could come up with), the dropdown appears, telling me that an extension requires additional updates. I uninstalled every extension and reinstalled the browser. Nothing changed. I used the " --show-component-extension-options" thing but it does not show me ANY other extension in my list at all. The only thing in my list is the Opera Webblocker.

@NickyT I just posted a question about the same thing. I am glad you added the screenshot. This is very annoying and I hope it is fixed soon.

Since the issue is resolved for me, what are the steps to stop receiving email notifications for this thread only (I still want to receive future email notifications but I want to stop them for this specific thread only)?
Clicking 'unsubscribe' at the bottom of the email opens up the user settings menu.

@sporty78 At the bottom of the topic there a setting that you can change to Don't follow (or something like that) to stop being notified about replies.

I click 'watching' at the bottom of the thread page and select 'not watching 'from the drop-down box-This stops emails from this thread but keeps the email notification (about future threads) enabled?
However, it has nothing to do with changing settings in 'user settings.'
Is all of that correct?

@sporty78 Yes, it will stop notifications for the topic only.

Am I correct that topping email notifications has nothing to do with changing settings in 'user settings?'
-
By the way, 'not watching' continues to send emails-Do I want to 'ignore?'
