<![CDATA[Sick behaviour of photo/picture viewer]]>Opera (ver 12.16 Build 1860) worked normally - for example: searched in google the word "drum" > clicked on the link "photos" and there were big photos side by side > clicked one of them, browser showed bigger photo with "next" and "previous" option. Normal.
Then on a nice day (Opera made a kind of upgrade?) by clicking on the link "photos" it started to show kind of thumbnails and clicking one of them directs to photo's homepage.
Is there a way to turn this behaviour back to normal?

Thanks,
Mac.

Also you should add at the end of the override.ini file these strings:

[google.com]

User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

It can be fixed with selective masking of Opera for google's pages.

  • Find your Opera's profile folder (type opera:about as an url in the Opera's address field and look for the path in "Opera directory"). Remember it.

  • Close Opera

  • Go to your Opera's profile catalog("Opera directory" path from the opera:about) using file manager

  • Open override.ini with a text editor

  • Add at the end of [Overrides] section these strings:

plus.googleapis.com

plus.google.com

apis.google.com

google.com

google.XX

(NOTE: where XX is a national domain of your country. For an example, ".fi" - Finland etc. DO NOT INSERT this note into ini file!)

  • Then add at the end of the override.ini file:

[plus.googleapis.com]

User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

[plus.google.com]

User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

[apis.google.com]

User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

[google.XX]

User Prefs|Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Opera 12.16

(NOTE: where XX is a national domain of your country. For an example, ".fi" - Finland etc. DO NOT paste this note into ini file!)

  • Save changes and launch Opera

  • Now you can use a fully functional Google search engine

p.s. There is another solution with a global masking via opera:config parameter(custom user-agent). Do not use it! It can cause more problems than fixes!
