Contrary to what is asked for in this thread https://forums.opera.com/topic/84787/stopping-automatic-updates I'm not getting automatic updates on my MacBook. I was even two updates behind (still on .29) before checking my version manually. Now it's:

How can I get automatic updates work or at least getting notifications of a new version? Does anybody have an idea? Thank you.

You can subscribe to the RSS feed for https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/.

You can add it to the opera://news page (the News sidebar panel) or in whatever RSS feed reader you use. I'm subscribed to it in Thunderbird for example.

If you need to manually see if there's a new build and you don't trust the opera://about and opera://update pages, you can look at https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/.

Not a macOS user, but I assume Opera adds a scheduled task via a cron job or launchd or something. You could check that it's there and correct. There might be some GUI program for launchd that you can use too. You might even create an extra update check task.

You might also make sure your computer can connect to the update servers.

Keep in mind though, a build that comes out might not be available for autoupdate right away. Opera might give it a bit before doing that just in case there's a major issue with the new build.
