As of 03/06/2024, Aria is still unavailable in Houston, TX. Opera devs seem to not care seeing as how this issue has persisted for over 8 months...

@chasepbrock Yeah still not available in SA either. I've opened a bug report on their help center but it was marked as done with no explanation and without any fix. Tried opening another one three weeks ago, still nothing... It's very disappointing how little they care about this issue, and quite upsetting to see them advertising Aria on social media while ignoring the most reported bug.

03/26/24 and I’m still getting the ‘not available in your region’ message in Houston, TX. I’m very disappointed because I was just starting to love Opera, but the lack of response on this issue after so much time is making me have doubts.

Aria does not work in USA. I live in Texas and it tells me it's not available in my region but it should be per the list of available regions.

Same here. I'm in North Texas and it didn't work on my computer. I downloaded Opera Mobile and still got the same error.

Just wanted to add, that for me, Aria isn't working in Longview, Texas. But reading through all of these comments, it doesn't seem like it will get fixed anytime soon.

Aria has never been available in Texas despite the page claiming it's available in the US.

There are reasons I really need to use Opera, but they appear to, over and over again, really hate their users. I mean passionately despise. I don't understand why they're in the business of building a product created for actual end users.

Update: I turned on the built in Opera VPN on my windows 11 desktop computer and was able to use it. I asked Aria
"Is Aria AI blocked in Texas?" and its response was

Aria initially worked when I was using Opera VPN Pro but it had buggy disconnect issues so I canceled my subscription and turned off VPN. Aria did not work without VPN so I turned on the free Opera VPN and Aria started working again. Once working I asked Aria this!

@mfd-texas Yeah I don't believe it's regional restrictions. Other AIs work perfectly in Texas, and if it was an actual restriction it would be added to the list on the website.
I sure hope the development team is aware of this issue, but it's been nearly a year now so I think they just don't care.
