Are you scratching your head trying to figure out how to change the currency from Euro in your Opera GX Deals aggregator? You’re definitely not alone. Many users have been facing this frustrating issue for years, wanting to see prices in their local currency, like USD, but getting stuck with Euros.
It seems like a simple request, right? Displaying deals in a user’s preferred currency should be a no-brainer. After all, seeing prices in USD when you’re in the US (or any preferred currency elsewhere) makes browsing deals much smoother. No mental conversion needed – just straightforward shopping. Yet, the struggle to switch from Euro to USD in Opera GX’s deal section is a well-documented problem.
Users have tried various suggested fixes, but none seem to consistently work for the Deals Aggregator in the GX Corner. One common suggestion involves navigating to Settings > Privacy & Security > Search pop-up > Currencies and selecting a different currency. However, this setting doesn’t appear to impact the GX Corner deals. Another attempted solution involves clicking through to a deal on Eneba and trying to adjust currency settings directly on their site, often found on the title bar. Sadly, this too seems ineffective, with the currency stubbornly reverting back to EUR, even after logging into Eneba.
These issues have been reported across various platforms for a long time. Forum posts on Opera’s own site and discussions on Reddit threads like r/operabrowser highlight that this is not a new problem. A YouTube video also points out the same currency display frustration. The persistence of this issue suggests a deeper problem, hinting that perhaps the intended functionality for currency switching in the Deals Aggregator is simply not working as expected.
The inability to easily change the currency from Euro to USD (or any preferred local currency) makes the deal browsing experience less user-friendly. It forces users to perform manual conversions, adding an unnecessary step to what should be a seamless process. For many, like the original poster, the easiest workaround, albeit disappointing, is to simply remove the Deals Aggregator altogether until a proper solution is implemented.
It’s puzzling why a feature designed to help users discover deals would create such a hurdle. Ideally, the currency should automatically adjust to the user’s region or at least offer a straightforward way to change it. Until a fix is rolled out, users wanting to avoid Euro pricing in their Opera GX deals might have to rely on external deal websites or hope for a future update that addresses this long-standing currency frustration.
