@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);
            },
        },

Unfortunately we cannot confirm this.
The problem persists for 3 months.

@jenming this is old browser.js version. Current one should display August 23, 2022.

@gmiazga I agree that would make sense, but I am just copy/pasting what is showing up in my browser currently

here's the version information from the about page:
Version:90.0.4480.54 (x86_64)
Opera is up to date
Update stream:Stable
System:macOS Version 12.3.1 (Build 21E258) 12.3.1 x86_64
