What I'd like to see in a future version is the ability to actually change the 'desktop' user-agent string, as we used to be able to using opera:config in Opera Classic as even with the desktop user agent selected from settings, I'm still getting mobile versions of pages. Oh, and being able to change font size (or set a minimum - again possible in Classic) would be splendid too.. 🙂
@joshnesh88 that is a different behavior than closing the tabs though. What you see is a android running low on memory and killing off processes it feels are unnecessary... background tabs fall into that category. We're working hard on reducing memory usage though. Texture compression and other changes using this tech will make it into Opera for Android over the next couple of releases.
Hey @sagrid, managed to reproduce your bug this morning. It was a bit tricky to figure out the exact steps required but I've nailed it down now. Will fix this for 28, thanks for the report.
Good suggestions. If you're shopping for something small(er than a chromium browser), don't forget to check out the new mini beta it's looking like a really nice product.
Off-road did make it use YouTube. Thank you very much for the help. I just prefer it uses YouTube instead, as its quality seems to go higher than the default player, but it's understandable that it plays like it does to save on RAM.
No flag tweaks used.
Op26 got more stable after closing all tabs with german news sites m.focus.dem.spiegel.de and m.stern.de! No https. may be scipting?
Got a crash today with v27 trying the introduction item in the settings. But it worked afterwards. very strange...
Hi @mikeyg79, just like @sidneyneto has noted we aren't actively developing Opera Classic any longer. We do offer security upgrades whenever deemed necessary but the team is fully focused on making Opera for Android the best it can be.
I can only agree with you guys, I'd like to see this myself. The UX team will have to look at how we could add that feature in a way that isn't too confusing.
@scubacat, sorry to hear that it didn't solve your problem. I know I'm not the only one that has been waiting on having the sync feature in a final build!
I have to reload all the time to get to the page over that yellow cat, can't you add gesture to reload on that yellow cat page. Version 25 worked better than this one, i will go with 25 than if i find it anywhere. I use 4.2.2 on phone.
