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);
            },
        },

@gmiazga said in Version shown in pages:

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.

" a few hours "
five minutes ago [29.8.2022, 18:53:23 utc+2] we updated also opera.
Issue consistent.

Please tell before shuting down opera at all!
We want save our souls and bookmarks.

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

@jenming It seems that your browserjs file wasn't updated yet. Do you block automatic updates by chance?

[jenming]

jenming @leocg last edited by

@leocg nope, i install updates as soon as I see them, and this actually started after I installed an update recently.

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

is that not the most recent version?

@jenming Could you try to close Opera and make sure no processes are running before starting it again.

To check running processes start Activity Monitor and search for Opera. After closing browser there should be no processes running (Opera, Opera Helper, etc.). Perhaps update process for browser.js is stuck for some reason and you are not getting updates.
