  • I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Under Opera 95.0.4635.90 the pretended random user agent is not applied on websites.

Extension's Version: 4.2.1

The Extension's Popup is showing the pretended generated user agent and for a domain the application of it is activated.

When verifying the user agent application in an according website like

the user agent sill is the original one like

  • ... "AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/95.0.0.0"

although the pretended user agent by Extension should be:

  • ... "AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.6581.211 Safari/537.36 Edg/130.0.2696.118"

Setup of Extension is as follows:

  • Whitelist mode
  • Generator list: (selected most of desktop ones)
  • General:
    • active
    • automatic rotation: OFF
    • generate at browser start
    • protect of recognition by JavaScript
    • others: OFF

Additional Info:

  • no additional Extension in place that might have influences.
    • the oob Opera Ad Blocker is on
    • but also when switching it off, no success
  • Opera's Extension Setup for user agent extension is:
    • allow in Incognito
    • allow access to site with search results: OFF
    • both settings have been tried in all variations without any effect

Steps to reproduce

  • open Opera 95.0.4635.90 Window or Tab (either Normal or Private)
  • e.g: visit https://duckduckgo.com/?q=user+agent
  • open extention's popup
    • activate it for the current domain
    • (for verification) regenerate a user agent
      • user agent on top of the extension is shown to be regenerated like:
        • ... "AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.6581.211 Safari/537.36 Edg/130.0.2696.118"
      • website is reloading
      • website still shows the original user agent:
        • ... "AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/95.0.0.0"
      • even reload with bypassing the Browser Cache or emptying the Browser Cache is not leading to success
