<![CDATA[[Solved]Unable to activate subtitles in HBO Max]]>Hi, I just talked to HBO's customer service regarding an issue where I can't enable subtitles in Opera GX and they told me it's because Opera is not supported.

Is there any way to enable Chromium compatibility so I can stream normally?
I can see the subtitles normally in every other browser (Chrome, Edge, FF, Safari) 😕

Thank you.

I found the answer in Reddit apparently I'm not the only one with this issue.
If anyone else comes across this problem, I solved by installing User-Agent Switcher and switching agents to Firefox-Windows in HBO.

Does it work in regular Opera?

I had an HBO Europe-based rep reproduce the issue on their end.

This is how I see in Opera GX:

This is how it looks on Edge:

I tried it out in incognito mode just to rule out any extensions. I really hope this is something that I can fix on my end 😕
