<![CDATA[Google did it again (opera 12 search)]]>So google is persistent with not letting Opera 12 users use it anymore. Last solution required tempering with .dll files, and now even that wont do the trick any more. Any new solution out there .. ? Please help, I dont want to change my Opera 12 as a default browser.

@Shandra, because I wasn't aware of that at the time, though using the one in opera:config would be very ill-advised, as it changes it for all sites.

The one in override.ini, mentioned in the next post, is the way to go. I wasn't aware of that either back at the time, though I would have noticed it earlier if the "User Prefs|Custom User-Agent" line ever actually appeared in the file.

Once I added the necessary lines, it is all working again like it should.

As rseiler I don't see any problems with google (the search engine) and using O12.17x64 (Be it with g <search term> in the address bar, the search with <google> field, googles website or via marked term->menu->search with->google - way of search shouldn't make any difference, but wanted to mention it just in case)

2nd) rseiler - and why a .dll for that? Shouldn't opera:config->user prefs->custom user agent be enough for that if one really wanted to exclude the mentioning of opera from the masked agents or to identify as an up2date browser?

So when masked as Firefox now, the numbers in the string are sufficient for Google not to do that.

Whatever it is, I don't see it yet (and I'm using the same DLL patch that you are). I'm talking U.S. Google, btw. How about you?
