      Is it just me or is there a battery drain issue in version 19... the power use is significantly more than it usually is.

        Actually on my side, Opera Mini 19 consumes too much RAM.

          And more data traffic. I blame that idiotic newsfeed feature first and then maybe some more nefarious background activities.

            We're sorry to hear you're having battery issues. This may be happening depending on what features you use on Opera. If you have multiple tabs open (10+) try closing them. And if you're syncing with a desktop and have tons of data syncing, that may also be the cause.

            Are you sure it's Opera? You can verify this by going to the battery section on your Android or iOS device.

              @operaolaf Not more than a few tabs open, I don't have sync enabled, literally the same features as in the older version but the power use is tons more than before. Yeah its definitely Opera Mini I can see from battery usage stats in settings it uses 83% power in 1hr 50 mins.

                @arkydon:
                try killing the news forcefeed, avoid facebook.

                Settings>Advanced>Start page content "Speed Dial only"

                6% here.

                    @arkydon: Do you have "Extreme mode" setting turned on?
