Doesn't mean you can't use it.
I have been getting that warning for years on my Schwab account. I ignore it and use it just fine.
And I think "the vast majority" is way overstating it.
I used it with all of my banks and PayPal today without any issues.

@leocg Actually, I submitted a bug report and after asking the person told me that if you enter opera://flags in the browser bar it takes you to this screen:

Selecting Disabled takes you back to the way it was.
Something you might wish to share with others.
Thanks,
Dave

@MontyPyFly
Just received a response from Opera directly after I submitted a bug report.
In browser bar, enter opera://flags
Choose Disabled and restart.
It is back to what it was before.
Just a shame it took me this long to get the answer.

I don't know what this means:
"Maybe you can try a new profile directory."
If it means starting out fresh and losing all my settings, I have been using Opera for years and don't really want to reset everything because Opera effed up their interface.
I also have seen where a lot of people hate how Aria now takes up screen space instead of being an overlay like it was before.
I did today load Opera update again to get a clean update, and the only thing that changed is the settings for turning the AI button moved in the settings.
So I take it from all of your talk that there is no way for me to go backwards?
Thanks again,
Dave

@leocg There is no place to type anything. No text box, no icons, nothing.
Wierder still, when you search the settings there is nothing for Aria or AI. I only found out how to turn it off by searching Sidebar in the settings. It stil is in there to turn off, which is what I did, since the button placement is also annoying.

The Aria AI button on the right side now does nothing except open a flyout that reduces my screen size.
A blank flyout by the way, so I can't even do anything with it!
I want the old ARIA back!
I loved that it overlayed the screen!
This is horrible!

@leocg Flyout or whatever it's called from the right side, totally blank. Reduces the screen area. Creates a computed box size of 397 px wide by 100% screen height.
CSS only with no content.
Right clicking that space shows me two options: oddly one of them is for a plug-ing setting and the other is to inspect element (open the developer).
I did disable the plug-in to be sure that wasn't causing it, and it was not.
What is the button supposed to do?

@DeeBeeEff
Correction - New button is on upper right, not upper left as I misstated.

@leocg
Hi!
I was using Opera that had an Aria button on the left sidebar.
At the bottom of the flyout section for Aria was a link to upgrade to Opera AI.
So I did that.
My Aria on the sidebar disappeared and then the annoying one on the upper left appeared.
After that, I checked to see if I needed updates, and I did.
Then I followed the "news" page you sent me to and there was a download link there, so I downloaded that, which I think was what I already had.
So here is what I have:

Opera One(version: 124.0.5705.65)
Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System:Windows 11 64-bit
Chromium version:140.0.7339.249

Thanks for your help.
Dave

@leocg
I clicked the link at the bottom of my previous Aria in the sidebar that said upgrade.
The article you attached didn't really tell me why the button in the upper right that says Ask AI doesn't work.
Can I go back?
I use Aria multiple times a day.
Thanks,
Dave
