<![CDATA[Weather widget not working]]>I'm having a problem setting up a new Opera install. No matter how often I try, the weather widget on the speed dial page never resolves. It's continually strobing, never settling on the default location, which in turn prevents me from customizing it to a location. Anyone else experienced this problem and have a solution?

Yes, this seems to be a known glitch in some recent Opera builds. Try turning off the weather widget, restart the browser, then enable it again that usually resets the location service. If that doesn’t help, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Site Settings → Location, and make sure Opera has permission to access your location.

Some users have also fixed it by clearing browser cache and cookies, then relaunching Opera. Hopefully Opera patches this soon it’s a small but annoying bug!

That's exactly what I get with every version: Release, Beta, Developer, Air. And on multiple computers. Has been that way for quite awhile.

Then, it was broken again for a while. But, it's working again for me in 122.0.5643.51 on Windows for example. Can't test on macOS.

It won't let me set a location, and only ever shows that shiny horizontal "busy" animation.

Not sure if any of them are on macOS though. Maybe it's still broken there for some reason.

I am in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.

However, I can browse around just fine. It's just the home page.

And finally, my other computer -- also an M4 with Sequoia -- is sitting inches away from this one, and Opera's home page is just fine.

Until Opera Software fixes their server, their is nothing to do about it. 😞
