@verce Glad to hear it works properly now!

@gmiazga Thanks for the MV3 timeline!

Is it already clear how Opera will handle browser-specific choices and features?

• How will the sidebar API change in MV3? (See https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/128)

Mozilla Firefox decided to handle MV3 a bit different than Chrome to help developers and users:

• Will the webRequest still be available in MV3 (Unlike in Google Chrome)
• Will Opera keep supporting non-persistent background scripts?

(When) does opera want to stop supporting MV2 extensions on the store and in the browser? Due to all the issues with MV3, can we as developers ask for extended support of MV2 on the Opera Store? Or allow publishing both MV2 and MV3 at the same time for best backward compatibility?

@wendyallison Hi Wendy, can you share a screenshot of both the options page and the page you are trying to share + dropdown?

@wendyallison Add it in the options page, and click on "Share page on Facebook". Let me know if you got it to work. Just in case, I've updated the extension to v5.7, with additional improvements and changes.

@gmiazga By now we as developers and users really need to know when Opera will support Manifest v3 on the Opera Store. OR, if the Opera Store will be phased out and we need to migrate people to the Chrome Web Store.

@plamadestiny we can! You can expect this in the next update!

@marja then it's technically not possible to do so. I'm very sorry!

@wttools It allows by the click of a button to view the source of a page. That's it!

@qpayct Can confirm your issue about the CSP. When you remove it Opera states "Manifest format version is not supported.".

@gmiazga @qpayct @namero999 Currently the Opera Add-ons Store doesn't support manifest v3 extension packages. When can we expect the store to support them?

@gmiazga Thanks a lot for the explanations. Is there any reason why the non-blocking webRequest API and/or blocking webRequest API won't be supported in v3 by Opera?

@wttools Can you please describe what you mean here?

@marja The app is mostly for Google services. Tho you can add any shortcut to any website in the settings page.

@oz85 You can rename the categories in the settings page.

@sobmicha This has been resolved in the v18.9 update. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@albertcorbett Correct. This is an Opera-only issue. Simply close the window and open the extension again should sign you in!

@teutonic-tamer if it's just about the language. You can change that in https://myaccount.google.com/language and set it to British English. I'm aware British English is the default in the world. That's why the default english in my extensions is set to British English.

You can also change the preferred website language in opera settings: opera://settings/?search=language

@david27 Might be true, yet I'm requesting this as a developer. Since Opera forced dark mode breaks my and other sites.

Personally I'm not using any forced dark mode solution.

Opera forced dark mode doesn't consider the fill color of svg objects.

Given this situation:

<div>
<svg>
<path d="something"></path>
</svg>
</div>

With this css:
div {
color: black;
fill: currentColor;
}

Opera GX forced dark mode would change the color to white, however, the fill color would stay black somehow. This needs to be resolved as many websites rely on the fill color like that.

Thanks so much for the extensive reply Gmiazga!

Does this mean the Opera addons portal already accepts extensions with manifest v3?

Currently wondering if the chromium source would allow easy enabling of the webRequest API for manifest v3 so Opera could decide to keep it.

Lastly, is there an end-of-life date / timeline defined for manifest v2?

What can we expect from Opera in terms of Manifest v3?

When and will Opera support Manifest v3? If so, in what form?

Will the webRequest API still be supported in v3 like Firefox decided to do?

When can expect manifest v2 to nolonger be available?

In case manifest v3 will be supported, it's very welcome if the store can support both manifest v2 and v3 during the transition period.

@harlwindwolf Thanks for reaching out! That is correct. Both extensions will keep working for a long time so everyone has the opportunity to make the switch. Getting them to merge is sadly not supported by Opera at the moment of speaking.
