      @acerswap This seems to be a bug with browser.js, which is a script that runs in the browser to patch things out of various websites (think annoying thing's like "Why use Opera, when you can use X", "Your browser isn't supported, use X instead").

      In the latest version it seems to be bugged and puts the version number on every page (including nested ones! yuck) instead of only on it's own information page at opera://browserjs / chrome://browserjs.

      For now, until it gets fixed, you'll need to open a page to opera://browserjs and then click "disable browser.js ... for this session". Unfortunately it'll come back whenever you reopen the browser until it gets fixed.

        @acerswap Looks like it's from

        • DNA-99524 Update method for displaying version of active browserjs
          The corresponding browser.js change looks like
                    'DNA-99524': {
                        description: 'Browser.js version reported on FAQ page',
                        isMatching: () => browserjsUrl,
                        applyOnDOMReady: true,
                        apply: () => {
                            const browserjs_info = version();
                            const addVersion =
                              createTextNode(`Today ${browserjs_info}`);
                            document.body.appendChild(addVersion);
                        },
                    },
        

        and it looks like the isMatching is always truthy, so should maybe need to be something like

                        isMatching: () => href === browserjsUrl.href,
        

        instead.

          @acerswap said in Version shown in pages:

          Today, in all the pages I open there's a "Today Opera OPRDesktop 28.0 core 1750.0, May 25, 2022. Active patches: 21" printed somewhere. I've disabled all extensions and tried in a private window and it's the same.

          Can I do something to avoid it to appear?

          Same is happening here!

            I encounter the same problem, after Opera performed an update today. In addition, it takes forever to load the pages.

              I have the same issue. This tends to appear at the bottom of the page, but is visible as soon as a page begins to load.
              It even appears at the bottom of this forum page, below the footer.

                        @nkrishnaswami Maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't find that code in the browser.js file.

                          @yogrark I can only see it in the in-memory/live version and not the one in my program files install directory. The latest version is cached at %appdata%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\browser.js in some encoded format.

                          To view it in plain text, you need to visit a page where it activates (such as Gmail), open your browser console, then look for a Opera has modified script or content... log message and click the browser.js link on the right hand side of the console window.

                              We have reverted to previous version of browser.js so problem should be gone soon for all users. Usually can take up to a few hours depending when was last update fetched.

                                        Yea same thing is happening when I am watching twitch its getting kind of annoying now.

                                        I dont want to have to disable the thing every time I open up my browser and I really don't feel like doing uninstall reinstall because it seems it doesnt work either.

                                          The issue is in the browser.js,
                                          It has this wrong code:

                                          isMatching: () => browserjsUrl.href,
                                          

                                          Where it should be:

                                                      isMatching: () => href === browserjsUrl.href,
                                          

                                          You just have to edit the browser.js script to have it like this:

                                                  'DNA-99524': {
                                                      description: 'Browser.js version reported on FAQ page',
                                                      isMatching: () => href === browserjsUrl.href,
                                                      applyOnDOMReady: true,
                                                      apply: () => {
                                                          const browserjs_info = version();
                                                          const addVersion =
                                                            createTextNode(`Today ${browserjs_info}`);
                                                          document.body.appendChild(addVersion);
                                                      },
                                                  },
