          This error is because you're trying to install via the new Chrome extensions site. As I explained, you need to install it through the old site.

          If you go to the new site and click 'install extension,' you'll see it says 'install on Chrome,' and that's when the error appears.

          However, if you use the old Chrome extensions site, it will show 'install on Opera,' and it will work fine.

            But it still shows the message

              for some reason, when i try to install any extension from the chrome web store, it says this:

              i've tried the solutions from https://forums.opera.com/topic/39918/how-to-solve-the-trouble-of-download-interrupted-error-network-error and https://forums.opera.com/topic/22600/i-have-download-chrome-extension-add-on-but-i-still-can-t-download-chrome-extensions , but nothing has worked.

                @skyekix That doesn't work. All it does now is crash the Opera GX browser. There's a discussion on Reddit about it and no apparent fix.

                    @southpawsteven Indeed, it does work, at least for me. I'm installing any and every extension I want through Opera GX, the latest version. If you look below, there are screenshots.

                    The first image is from the old site, and the second image is from the new site. Look at the option.

                    Old Site:
                    0b57cad4-39be-4297-9b81-4f753a91e1ba-image.png

                    New Site:
                    52039af5-4565-4050-9b8e-88cfc1b73824-image.png

                    When it comes to installing, on the first one that says 'Add to Opera,' it works fine. On the second one, 'Add to Chrome' shows the error 'SERVICE_BAD.'

                    Extension successfully installed through the old site.

                      Fixed, just update the browser and you'll now be on the new site with the 'Add to Opera' option again.

                          It's working on my end. I did have to manually update Opera GX though.

                            @sirenbrink Yeah it's working fine after they updated Opera GX. Version LVL5 (core: 104.0.4944.60) has no issues with the Google store.

                              I do have the same problem with the opera Gx. No matter what I try I cannot install chrome extensions. Normal Opera browser is working fine with no issues but Opera Gx is faster compared to Opera. I prefer opera gx but no extensions. So, I'm forced to use Opera which is a bit slower.

                                    @leocg Now I have a new problem. I installed an extension called Dark Mode-Dark Reading from chrome extension store. It is working properly but opera detected some malware and disabled it. I cannot enable it no matter what I do. This kind of issue already happened with opera with some tapermonkey( I don't know exactly). Give me a solution to this problem.
                                    2. Flow is not working. I have tried all opera browsers but no use

                                      @saianwesh It's something to be discussed in different topics.
