This is a little obscure but I'll give it a shot. I use a customization program called WindowBlinds that applies alternative styles to the Windows UI. It recently updated and right away I ran into a problem with Opera. The Speed Dial page crashes and has to be reloaded,speed dials don't load, the enhanced address bar doesn't display properly and extensions which place icons in the toolbar have been disabled and their icons removed. It looks like this;

I asked about this in the support forum for WindowBlinds but they couldn't reproduce the issue, and nobody seemed to know anything about how Opera works. I know this is more of a WindowBlinds problem and the problems go away when I roll back that program, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what could cause this sort of problem in Opera, which settings I should be looking at to try and troubleshoot this. Thanks in advance.

They just say Opera is not supported and I should use Chrome. I asked them why it was working before and not now and they said I would have to ask Opera, since it's Opera that's been updated, nothing has changed with their site recently. I had assumed that supporting Chrome meant supporting Chromium based browsers in general, but since it now works with Vivaldi and not Opera that doesn't appear to be the case and something else must have changed with the recent update.

Tried the user agent extension set to Chrome and then Firefox, same thing. Unsupported browser.

Before the upgrade to 60 there was no problem with Opera and the Crave streaming service, a Netflix-like service here in Canada. Now it puts up a large red banner saying the browser is unsupported. On it's FAQ page it says that supported browsers are Firefox 52+, Chrome 62+, Edge 14+. But I've discovered that it not only continues to work in Chrome but in Vivaldi as well. And even though it doesn't mention Opera there were no problems with it before the update. Anyone know why this would happen ? Because it's a little annoying having to switch to another browser for that one site. Thanks.

Thanks for that, it's too bad.

I just updated to 60 and my speed dial extensions(clock,weather) no longer show up. For some reason they appear as icons on the bookmarks bar but can't be used there and can't be moved to speed dial. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling these extensions but they still don't show up. Anyone else notice this ?

Problem solved, or at least figured out. It's caused by a change with google news a couple of months ago. There are now two google news url's, an older legacy one now mainly associated with mobile devices and a new one associated with desktops. The older one has been deprecated. So when you go to google news via the old url it still goes to google news but when you click on a link you get redirected to the page your'e trying to get to but under the new url. I haven't so far been able to fix the problem by going to the new url, when I try that I get a 404 error. But some quick googling indicates that others are having similar problems. I've discovered that other browsers don't trigger the redirect notice because they automatically remove the new url redirect, they cancel it and automatically send you to the requested page. But Opera doesn't do that. So I haven't solved the problem but at least I know now what's causing it.

@leocg I checked the google news settings but I don' seet anything there that would account for this, and I haven't changed anything in Opera recently. As I said, this only started with the latest update, just a couple of days ago. I thought it could be a problem with google but it doesn't happen in other browsers like Firefox, only Opera, and only after the recent Opera patch. Never seen this problem before, really not sure what to make of it but it really slows down browsing

@leocg It only seems to be happening on google news. Other sites that redirect, like sites that offer links to deals on vidogames, seem to work OK. But virtually every link I click on on the google news page I get that annoying pop up full page notice. In both Beta and stable releases. I've tried several browsers and Opera is the only one that's doing this. I tried googling the issue but couldn't find anything recent.

No it's not something that would be caused by an extension, and I haven't added any new extensions. Everything was fine until the latest update. This is what I'm talking about.
