@kmielczarczyk Has this been toggled back on on 109.0.5097.36?
Also, what about addons from the chrome store? I assume they're also missing the metadata, but since that's not under Opera's control, will they continue broken?
If that's the case, maybe we could add this verification as a setting on about:flags?
@leocg does 109.0.5097.36 has the verification enabled again? do we need to downgrade to 109.0.5097.35?
Alternatively, any way we could make this into a toggle in about:flags?
Same thing here, but not all extensions from the chrome store are broken, just some of them.
EditThisCookie works, for example, but DarkReader doesn't.
Currently, when 'extreme mode' data saver is enabled, its forced to be on for both mobile and Wifi. Is it possible to make both switches (extreme mode and data saver on wifi) independent and allow extreme mode to be enabled on mobile only, so when we connect to wifi we automatically get the regular pages?
Oh and btw im using Opera version 40.0.2308.52 on Windows 7 64bit, in case that makes a difference.
Sorry about the late response.
Do you use any antivirus? What about extensions?
I dont have any antivirus running in the background, but I do have MalwareBytes scanner installed. As for extensions, the problem still happens when there are none enabled.
Do you have a couple of example links of those problematic downloads?
This is the only one that I know of, but I've seen it happen on other ones too: http://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe
This is the message I get on my Downloads tab: http://imgur.com/EkgVDAm (Translation: Stopped: Virus Detected)
Also, I dont think anything else is blocking the file on my computer, since I'm able to download it just fine using firefox.
I just tried downloading an .exe file on Windows and it was blocked by Opera, and I cant seem to unblock it. Am I missing an option to disable this or to keep the file? Beside that entry on Downloads page is a restart option, but all it does is restart it and block it again.
If there isn't, there should be an option to keep the file, or at least a setting that allows me to disable this feature (a "Warn Only" option would be the best of both worlds).
EDIT: The blocked file isn't even detected as virus in VirusTotal, why is Opera blocking it in the first place?
