        @burnout426 Thank you very much!
        The link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions was the right one to use and could download and install without any problem! It's working OK now!

          It has not been working for at least 5 days, it is being redirected to a new one

          @leocg can we call the developers of Opera? What is this hypocrisy? The problem is specifically in the Opera browser, why isn't it being repaired?!

            @morgandusty It's probably being repaired.

              I see some people are having luck with using the old chrome store, but there's no option for me to revert to the old store. The old store links also automatically redirect to the new one.

              So chrome extensions are still impossible to install for me.

                @sirenbrink @leocg If a person once clicked "try the new design", he will not return to the old one without scripts, or if the user was automatically identified as a tester of the new interface, so we all wait for an answer from Opera, or change the browser.

                    @lalarp As expected, once it was removed a while ago since it's no longer needed.

                              I have the same issue. There's no way for me to revert back to the old chrome extension store. Opera is up to date.

                                Currently, the latest version of Opera GX, dated 11/11/23, is not working with the new Chrome extensions site: https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions.

                                For now, what works is using the old version of Chrome extensions: https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions.

                                However, simply entering through the old site won't work, so remove 'extensions' from the URL/LINK, and it will work as usual. The URL will then look like this: https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/.

                                There's no longer an option to revert to the old version by clicking on the three dots. Google will likely discontinue the old page soon.

                                  @skyekix The problem is not even installing the extensions since we can't even add the 'Install Chrome Extensions" add-on.
                                  The Opera add-on store doesn't show this one anymore.

                                      @lalarp Even if the extension was still there, it wouldn't be helpful because it would have the same issue.

                                        It's been a while since a separate extension has not been necessary to install Chrome add-ons in Opera.

                                        This extension has been integrated into the browser; you can simply visit the Chrome extensions website and install any extension. They all work for me; I install them directly.
