Where has opera gone?

I wanted to check a website performance on Opera, but I can find no link that works to download and install opera

Where have you tried?

https://www.opera.com/download seems to be working OK for me.

Thereā€™s even Opera GX now, for those more interested in gaming. (Twitch/Discord integrations, etc.)
Opera GX | Gaming Browser | Opera

Thereā€™s also Opera Neon, a ā€œconceptā€ browser, just for Windows and Mac - https://www.opera.com/computer/neon

Hmmmm interesting,

all 3 of the above links give me

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.opera.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

other sites seem to work fine (like this one )

I installed it. I could not figure out what it is doing and it had a serious problem of being non-responsive so I tried to uninstall it. The uninstaller hangs. I logged off my Windows and tried again (a few times). The uninstaller still hangs. I uninstalled Opera but I still cannot get Neon out of my system.

Have you tried using a different browser to download it?

If youā€™re using Firefox, this article might help: https://appuals.com/pr-end-of-file-error/

Other than that, I donā€™t know what else to say. Iā€™m using Firefox and Iā€™m not experiencing an issue. sdesole

@TechnoBear I have tried Safari, Google, Edge, and firefox. I cannot even connect to opera support, any opera.com link gives same error

I think the problem is my internet provider and possibly the speed, I think some pages are just not downloading before they time out

Hi, can anybody find me a contact email address for opera support please. I cannot find one because I cannot access any opera.com pages. I cannot use a contact form for the same reason. I wonder if someone can find and supply me with a direct email address and I will try that, hopefully it is just a browser issue and my email client will still work. Sorry to be a pain, thanks

Iā€™m afraid I think youā€™re unlikely to find an email address for Opera. Most global companies are only accessible vis web forms or forums. Or maybe try social media?

It might be easier to ask somebody else to download the file and put it on a USB drive for you.

Try opening this Opera sub-domain and posting your problems.

https://opera.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/9/group/11/create/6

Iā€™m not sure youā€™ll get anywhere with that link, which says:

This wizard is for reporting bugs for Opera for computers only.

The problem isnā€™t with the Opera browser, but with accessing their website, so a bug report is not appropriate.

If access was obtained then perhaps the receiver could pass on the message to the relevant department.

Well, mystery solved. I live and work in Egypt and it appears Egypt have blocked Opera since it includes a free VPN. They are also trying to prevent VPNs because they can allow access to websites that Egypt considers ā€˜undesirableā€™. These include many News, Political and Human rights sites. Way to go Egypt !!
