We’re happy to release an update for Opera for Android, and what a packed release it is!
- There’s an option to block ads in the Data savings settings, so you can save even more data.
- We’ve added support for web push notifications, an emerging standard that is part of the stack of technologies powering progressive web apps. You can try it out on Facebook or New Scientist.
- To give you control over what device APIs websites can access and what they can’t, we’ve added a dedicated “Site settings” section.
- Multi-window mode is now supported. On Samsung tablets, you can start using this feature right away. Otherwise, it will come in handy when you upgrade to Android N.
- We’ve improved the display of website icons on Speed Dial.
- And last but not least, we’ve upgraded Chromium to 50.
Enjoy the upgrade, and let us know what you think!

I see you decided to take out the option to use the classic tab switching style from the 'flags' page.
I don't expect any response to this message but this made me switch to another browser after using Opera since the first smartphone I ever owned. You have no features that set you apart from other browsers other than being the only one with easy one hand tab switching and you took that out in the name of 'progress'.I'm honestly very disappointed. I know my (and probably hundreds of other users') opinion won't change your mind, but I just wanted to let you know because I really dislike software devs just removing features because they decided it's better for their users.
Hope I'll be able to switch back to opera someday.

The latest version is not possible to return the old tab selector. New tabs manager I hang like so: 1) http://rgho.st/download/7NwYTjQMW/66050b9e33c71d79fdcf147119aedc34d5629823/Screenshot_2016-06-17-11-19-17_com.opera.browser.png

It hangs the entire browser, nothing works except removal process or exit by long pressing on the "back" button.Previously, it was possible to bring back the old Manager tabs through opera://flags, and now removed this feature. Please return the repaired or new tab
I have Xiaomi Redmi 3 on Android 5.1.1, opera 37.0.2192.105088

I don't understand why when so many users don't like the new switcher opera insists on forcing it on us. I mean companies make mistakes all the time like coca cola with new coke and more recently Microsoft with Windows 8.
I think it was just a waste of resources to fix the tab switcher when there was nothing wrong with it.
Please opera bring the old switcher back, the new one is not better in any way. I was looking forward to the new adblock feature but now I can't have it because the old switcher is gone from the new version so I have to go black to older versions without adblock.
Very disappointed.

Now come on... Just keep the old tab switcher option even in the flags!
There is no single good thing about the new switcher!

For a long time to wait for fixes a bug with the tab selector? Some of the developers can give the answer?

It appears that Adblock is combined with data savings.
This results that Adblock cannot be used alone which results in the fact that all data goes via the Opera servers. With data savings, this is inevitable, but Adblock alone can be done locally as happens on the computer versions of Opera.
So why can this this not be enabled without data savings enabled on Android ?

@anonofholland Hey may I ask you what do you think of Yandex Browser for Android? I found it to be a good alternative browser with bottom UI and a kind of workflow thought into its tab management, definitely worth a try for some days for the enthusiasts.
This Opera version still lags for me with "tab not responding" messages specially just after switching to Opera from other apps/lockscreen. But I also got this message while writing this reply, and lag twice...
And white tabs in the tab switcher...
