[Duplicated]Chrome Extensions will not install

Everytime I try to install a Chrome Extension I get this error:
"Download interrupted with reason: SERVER_BAD_CONTENT"
To be honest, Ive installed Chrome Extensions previously and it has worked completely fine. Now with every extension install attempt the error is persistent. The Chrome Extension installs fine on other browsers. Ive even downloaded the extension as a file and tried adding it to Opera GX manually, but to no avail I havent had any success. This is the extension I would like to install:

In my honest opinion I believe it is something to do with the version of Opera GX I have installed. There needs to be an Extended Support Release similar to Firefox for macOS Mojave.
I believe my macOS somehow bleeding edge update for Opera GX that doesnt allow the installs of extensions. I would rather have a stable Opera GX version that allows for extension installs, never update the browser again, and call it a day.

@richiegigabit A while ago, Opera needed to change to adapt to the new Chrome store. So, depending on the version of Opera that you have, you will not be able to install Chrome extensions.

@leocg odd thing is it worked fine and still works fine on Windows. maybe it just needs a cache clear or something.
Version info:
LVL5 (core: 102.0.4880.117) (x86_64)
Opera is up to date
Update stream:Early Access
System:macOS Version 10.14.6 (Build 18G9323) 10.14.6 x86_64
Chromium version:116.0.5845.188What was the stable version for Opera GX 102 or the stable version before that?

@richiegigabit The fix for the new Chrome Store was included in version 103, so you will need at least the Opera version to be able to install Chrome extensions

@leocg version 103. That’s rather convenient, or inconvenient depending on how you look at it. Might you know about an extended support release version 103 so Mojave users may install it without any issues?
How can I escalate this detail with Opera developers.
Chrome extension installation is one of the main features of the browser. It seems odd for the dev team to just deprecate it for a still heavily used macOS version.
I have Xcode installed on my Mac in case I need to implement allowing version 103 to be installable on Mojave as well.
I am also proficient in Terminal command line, as well as ruby, homebrew, and macports if needed.

@richiegigabit You need to update your OS and install a more recent version of Opera, that's it.

@leocg My hardware does not accept a newer OS. Whenever I find a workaround I will be sure to post it.
Again: is there a way I can escalate this to the Opera development team, or higher tier developer. They have a passion for developing and could potentially help me.
