<![CDATA[Opera: issues with default user agent again]]>Here we go again.
The issue is far from new; you can check the thread Opera is wrongly opening pages in new tab with mobile user agent.
I am still using the same base hardware and software of the past. Check the following 36 second long video, so you can see the problem in real time if needed: https://youtu.be/C2tlni3oI3Q
Specific desktop link, just to check:

We're on Opera 67. I know the problem is also on 66, and on some other(s) before. 59 had it fixed, seems it didn't last long.
In short words and as I see it, the problem is that Opera fails to hand down or bequeath the desktop user agent when opening certain sites like Youtube. It also happens right here, viewing this forum page in Opera with desktop user agent, when tapping upon my YouTube video links above: a new tab opens, and for a brief moment the desktop link can be seen in the address bar; then it is replaced by its mobile link.

I would love to hear from you in this respect, concerning what is your “fix it” attitude/belief is. You have to firmly believe in fixing problems, with faith, free from disdain, or else they may come back.

Best regards,
Salvador

https://youtu.be/R066XegQR_Q

In the video I use Opera to access my home router admin page, and it seems that my router's administration page loads incorrectly in Opera with its default mobile user agent. So, I engage the desktop user agent with the switch, and log in. Ta da! The router admin page opens correctly, but as you can see the desktop user agent switch refuses to stick engaged, and the router admin page refuses to work as it should (look at what happens when I tap on “View List”).

Note: my router admin page works normally with Chrome browser.
