That didn't change things. I did a full uninstall and re-install and the result is the same. It's not that the maps aren't working, it's that I'm being redirected to the HTML version of the Maps site.

I'm not signed into any Google account and I have deleted all Google cookies and history/cache.

I've set Opera to Identify as Firefox and Identify as Internet Explorer. I've tried setting my Google site preferences to Mask as other browsers as well. I get the same.

I've tried this with [maps.google.co.jp...] and [maps.google.com...] and [local.google.com...] All of them are showing me HTML style maps with non-dynamic zoom buttons and no ability to navigate with my mouse.
