@jacknielsen: The same happens to me. I go to extensions updates and there is nothing.

@leocg: no. In my daily Opera, I'd rather not lose bookmarks, settings, extensions, etc.

My proposals for changes in Opera (Google Document).

@jojo0587 You don't need to lose them. Just rename the current directory so you can test with a clean one and late you copy your old data or re-enable the old directory.

@kmielczarczyk: I also confirm. It became very uncomfortable.

After updating opera 72 I get this warning. The extension is opera ad block. I updated it. I keep getting alerts.

"Additional permissions are required to upgrade the plugin. Go to the add-on manager to accept the upgrade."

@teknomobil: Solution: Open the plugin and update the ad filters.

@lowre: Nightingale View and Gentle Night Mode extensions may be of interest to you.

@pepe2: It's broken in all Opera versions, except Opera GX. I stopped using all versions (stable, beta, developer). Waiting for a correction.

@jacknielsen We’re sorry for that issue. It was caused by one of our internal extensions. A fix has already been released, and the message should no longer appear.

A few words about our internal extensions, as the topic raises some concerns: Hidden extensions are an integral part of the browser and all are made by Opera (none is third-party software). We use this technology to implement a variety of functionality, just as we do in the native code. Extensions simplify some tasks and allow for more flexibility (e.g. we are able to release a fix without releasing a major update). In situations when performance is not critical we consider using an extension if it’s reasonable, so the required permission is nothing to worry about.

@leocg: I did not want to tinker with Opera's file locations myself, so yesterday I launched a new portable installation. I checked and the website works even after logging in. However, today on my daily installation of Opera, when I first visited the website, it worked, also after logging in, but as soon as i closed it and tried to open it a second time it's the same message again.
Now, in my daily Opera I have disabled all extension (except Opera Ad Blocker). To be sure, I restarted Opera, tried to view the page and it still doesn't work.
Apparently, the bug is actually on Opera's side, but it doesn't have to be there forever. Or there is some significant difference between the two installations, e.g. in the settings.

@jojo0587 If it's working on Opera Portable but not on the regular installation, there is a chance that it may be being caused by a corrupted profile directory, that's why testing with clean one is necessary.
