I'm using a Toshiba 64-bit laptop with 8gb memory, 2T hard drive running Windows 10 Home and Opera 53.0.
.
I used to use Easy Youtube Video Downloader but evidently it is never going to be released to work in Opera, so I've given up on that. According to the developer, it's been waiting for approval for six months or more. There is only so much patience.

Is there a way to download Youtube videos using Opera? Not using Chrome (nightmarish results when I tried that one) or any other browser. Preferably an easy way to download the videos. I don't want an option where I have to go here, do this, then go here, do this, then go back here and change this. I want something user friendly, like Easy Youtube Video Downloader was back when it was working.

Is there another Add-in or Extension or something else that works with Opera?
Thanks for your help.

I did all the things you suggested.
Interestingly enough, when I opened the Cmd window and keyed in the line about the launcher.exe, even if I typed it in quotes, I got the same message that Windows could not find c:\Program Not sure why it couldn't find it. The settings option was set to use the Start Page on startup, and to notify if another URL wanted to start it. I turned those options off and then back on and now the problem has stopped. I'm not sure why it stopped because I set it back to exactly how it was when I opened Settings.
At least, now it has stopped doing it.
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. I appreciate the help and your time.

When I opened a new window and then went to the O Menu and clicked on New Private Window, then it worked.

Here's an update on what I posted about an hour ago.

Isn't there some way to White List this URL somewhere?

Using the New Private Window option worked the first time, but not the next, or the next, or etc. Here's what I get. You can see it is in VPN mode.


How to I turn off Google Translate? The translation that is comes up with is ludicrous. I can do better on my own.
It did show up until today and now it pops up when I access any foreign language page.
I read on the internet to go into Chrome, well, I don't have Chrome, I have Opera. Nothing I've found so far has resolved the problem.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

And during the writing of this short note, I've got four messages that Opera forums have disconnected and I need to wait (now five messages) until it reconnects. What's up with that? No problems like this on other webpages.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

veganamigansagan Thank you so much. Finally a solution that works and works more than once. I hate it when I have to use a different browser other than Opera. Opera is the best without a doubt and seems to get better all the time. Keep up the good work guys.

@leocg
Thanks for the clarification. I clicked on it and then on the Update button but it finished as fast as I clicked it, so I don't think it updated anything. And I still have the same problem with Google Photos.

@leocg

No it does not. One of the suggestions to get it to work but try it in VPN mode but that doesn't work either.

Now it's my turn to sound dumb. Is there a Settings menu that I haven't found yet? I went to the Settings menu from the O Menu up in the left corner of the screen and checked all the items and did not find a Recover and Update setting. I also did a search for those terms and it did not find anything.
So where exactly should I be looking?

I have the same problem with Google Photos not working. I've disabled all of my extensions, all four of them, and it still doesn't work. I've tried clicking on the little vpn box on the address bar which I thought opened a private window but I guess not because Google Photos doesn't work that way either.

When I opened a new window and then went to the O Menu and clicked on New Private Window, then it worked. But I don't think I should have to do that. It should be easier than that. You know, one of those transparent to the user things.

Of course, Google takes no responsibility for this and makes a bunch of suggestions, all of which I tried and they didn't work. I went there before coming here.

Is the New Private Window from the O Menu my only option? Is that going to be addressed in your next update?

Thanks for the help, Carole

I have an HP 64-bit laptop running Windows 10 Home, 12gb memory, 2T hard drive.
I only use Opera as I'm trying to stay away from MS. Now when I do a search in Opera for something, even if I select something off my Speed Dial, that will open correctly as does the search BUT at the same time an Edge window opens with Bing as a search engine (I have Opera set to Google) and it takes me to this screen. It's becoming a real PIA.
Do you have any suggestions about how to prevent this from happening? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your prompt response. In me looking, I had seen some references to an old client but I thought for sure, Opera would have a current one. Do you have any suggestions for another email client?
Thanks.

I've been using Thunderbird for my emails but now it's telling me I have to compress my files and folders but the last time I did that I lost hundreds of emails and folders and was never able to recover them. I don't want to go through that nightmare again. So I'm looking for a new email client. Opera is my default browser and I'm hoping you also handle emails. If there isn't one in Opera could you please suggest a good stable email client that can handle email accounts from various places like gmx, outlook, yahoo, etc?
