Opera Mini 13 for iOS released!

No offence, but I honestly wonder why you actually conduct a beta test.

Startup time didn't improve a but here and is as horrible as it always was - as I wrote about the beta version
Open tabs are only shown for 1 (arbitrary?) other device here - as I wrote about the beta version

So 2 out of 3 'features' are broken or don't work as expected, and you simply ignore that?!
Also apparently other bugs have been reported in the beta thread, and nobody even took the time to comment, not even talking about fixing them?

For what it's worth, they did fix the crash bugs I reported in the beta thread.

Hi,

I am from Enpass Password Manager team and writing on behalf of Enpass.

First of all many thanks for supporting third party password managers in Opera Mini browser for iOS. We have tested the same feature with Enpass Password Manager, but it doesn't work. Although Opera Mini shows Enpass icon in the extension list, but it doesn't auto-fill the login details.

We have modified a few things in our development version to make it work with Opera, but still it is not autofilling details supplied by our extension.

So I will really appreciate if you can let us know where to contact for this issue (any developer support email etc.) to know what are additional changes that are required to make Enpass work with Opera Mini.

Thanks.

Opera mini 13 takes long time to load pages and stays stucked at loading even when the page is fully loaded. If I go to whateverpage in Safari or Chrome the page loads very fast, but with Opera it's not the case. Please do something with it or I'll be forced to switch to other browser... Also do something with the slow startup. And one last thing... every time I start opera I have to change my search engine to duckduckgo... would be nice to have option to select default search engine...

Effiency needs to be worked on for next release of Opera Mini Or version 15, if it is too late to make the needed improvements for version 14.
Version 13 which is the latest version for iOS 7and 9 is NOT running very smooth, with hiccups, generally laggy and sometimes unresponsive, on My iPhone 4 and 4s which have the latest versions of iOS 7 and 9.

I have recently switched from an iphone 3GS with iOS 6, which is the latest ios that 3GS supports. Opera Mini version 6, which is the latest compatible version for iOS 6 is from my experience definitely smoother and for most times without the irritating hiccups and laggyness in version 13 on iPhone 4 and 4S.
The only way I,ve found to make it somewhat smoother to use is to set "Data Savings" to "Opera Mini" instead Of the other option "Off" which somehow makes the problem even worse sometimes.
I Believe it started to go wrong with Opera Mini 8 as it seems to have made major changes from version 7 which some users complained about in the forum.

Apparently, Opera Mini 14 for iOS was released today...

So far, so good. Not sure what changed, though.

What ever happened to the excellent java engine? At one time could save js calc pages like otis-a.com and they recompute offline.
Now the java engine only work when online.

What gives?

Will this browser ever see a proper update? As far as I'm aware, problems I'm experiencing with iOS Opera Mini have existed for a good few years and I see no signs they will be dealt with. Also there are much needed features I'd like to see.

Opera is slow to load when opening the browser.
Often a page will start loading and just stop when its partially loaded forcing me to reload which isn't always successful.
Deleting private data doesn't remove open tabs and they load the next time I open the browser.
The browser crashes after a while, pretty much every time I open and use it, losing all my open tabs.
There's no way to select a default search engine and I hate using Google.
Lack of decent privacy controls like blocking 3rd party cookies and do not track option.
Private browsing is hidden behind too many menus and I'd like to see an option to have private browsing on permanently.
Deleting private data is also hidden behind too many menus.

I am currently testing the new pilot browser which removes the existing browser from my iPad. I'd gladly use any of these browsers if the above issues can get fixed!

Amazing, for months this browser does nothing but doing nothing for 15 seconds and then crash.
Haven't been able to even open it for literally months now.
I'm used to Opera Mini taking way longer to start than any other of my ~40 apps, but at least the older version eventually started.
Meanwhile you must have got dozens of crash reports only from me, so do you plan to ever release a working version again?
It's really a pity, OM has been my mean browser for years (as long as it worked)...

Just noticed this post. I think most of Opera's work with ios right now is focused on the new beta browser rather than mini. The beta crashes a lot, reloads a lot, and is generally a pain in the butt. They finally added "open in new tab" so the "back" bug isn't so crippling anymore.

I still drop back to mini when the beta's not going too well (while waiting for the next drop), and when I do, mini works fine for me (within its usual constraints).

OK, back to Mini until the next beta drop - too many crashed sessions. (And on many reloads, the beta mocks me by telling me how much data I've saved, as if all the reloading didn't eat up all that data and more!)

And I forgot how much beta needs night mode...

Oddly, a day or two ago, my Mini (iOS 9.3.5 13G36 and Mini 14.0.0.104835) has begun using a smaller font in Mini mode, but not in Turbo mode.

So far as I know, I didn't do anything to make this happen.

I'd love to get it back to it's usual font size; my eyes aren't too bad, but they're not too good either...

I am now using OPERA-Mini 14.0 on my iPad but LASTPASS doesn't work for most sites.
When I hit "Share" in the main menu, the LASTPASS icon is there, but when I use it it says:

"YOU LASTPASS VAULT HAS NO MATCHES FOR THIS WEBSITE"

This happens all the time when I try to log in in any of my accounts.
What am I doing wrong here ???

With the last update in June 2016, is Opera Mini for iOS still in development ? would be about time when compared to Opera Mini for Android.

Agreed with Wegglined. Opera for iOS is too old compared with version for Android and working very bad. Development is closed?

They were testing a new browser for IOS but even that seems stalled.

not much perspective for putting any more money, work and effort into opera/opera mini for ios, when globally apple's market share is constantly falling, while android keeps growing even in absolute numbers.

outside the us is where opera really shines, on cheapo devices, slow and expensive mobile data rates and sparse wifi coverage.

Well, actually the Android version is quite a desaster as well, just look at the Playstore review of the last couple of weeks.
Or if you're brave, try the latest version for yourself, it certainly didn't change for the better...
