this is all I see on the gx messenger sidebar, refreshing the webpage, restarting the browser and restarting my laptop doesn't do anything either.

I'm not technically skilled here :/). The sidebar uses the "Messenger" site so it also doesn't work.

Edit: Messenger on facebook is like built into it, and probably falls under Facebook rules so it does work with AdBlocks because Facebook works with AdBlocks. While the sole Messenger doesn't work because it falls under different rules that doesn't work with AdBlock since today.

So it looks like the fault lies in Facebook itself.

Neither deactivating them 1 by 1 is making messenger work you literally have to disable all of them.

I'll try them one by one now.

That's highly unlikely.

Edit: I just realised I haven't checked if messenger works without extensions. 😣

Both Facebook Messenger on sidebar and Messenger website doesn't work, it just shows full white site as shown in pictures above.
The same issue was reported on Opera subreddit, the issue is present on both Opera and Opera GX.
