@skyekix The problem is not even installing the extensions since we can't even add the 'Install Chrome Extensions" add-on.
The Opera add-on store doesn't show this one anymore.

It's been a while since a separate extension has not been necessary to install Chrome add-ons in Opera.

This extension has been integrated into the browser; you can simply visit the Chrome extensions website and install any extension. They all work for me; I install them directly.

This error is because you're trying to install via the new Chrome extensions site. As I explained, you need to install it through the old site.

If you go to the new site and click 'install extension,' you'll see it says 'install on Chrome,' and that's when the error appears.

However, if you use the old Chrome extensions site, it will show 'install on Opera,' and it will work fine.

Fixed, just update the browser and you'll now be on the new site with the 'Add to Opera' option again.

@southpawsteven Indeed, it does work, at least for me. I'm installing any and every extension I want through Opera GX, the latest version. If you look below, there are screenshots.

The first image is from the old site, and the second image is from the new site. Look at the option.

Old Site:

New Site:

When it comes to installing, on the first one that says 'Add to Opera,' it works fine. On the second one, 'Add to Chrome' shows the error 'SERVICE_BAD.'

Extension successfully installed through the old site.

Currently, the latest version of Opera GX, dated 11/11/23, is not working with the new Chrome extensions site: https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions.

For now, what works is using the old version of Chrome extensions: https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/extensions.

However, simply entering through the old site won't work, so remove 'extensions' from the URL/LINK, and it will work as usual. The URL will then look like this: https://chromewebstore.google.com/category/.

There's no longer an option to revert to the old version by clicking on the three dots. Google will likely discontinue the old page soon.
