Actually I'm waiting for Built in media player & Adblocking improvements.
The inbuilt download manager is ok but still poor compared to UC Browser.
After all Opera Mini is getting good.
But At least let us play those downloaded videos via MX Player instead of Opera Mini's built in player.

afaik opera mini does not have a media player, but uses the youtube app or other players on the device. i killed the youtube and google player app, using tubemate and newpipe with vlc instead.

the adblocking thing is due to mini's intrinsic design as a web proxy client, won't be easy to fix other than switch on/off (which works good enough for me).

i'd rather like to see more efforts re user privacy against google/bing/yahoo etc.

fair enough, let's see what 2017 brings.

I was saying about the web video playing feature as media player.
After download a video by opera mini & then open it from downloaded list then always those downloaded videos plays using Opera Mini's video playing feature.
But I want to play those downloaded videos using MX Player but there has no way to do it inside from Opera Mini.
Previous version of Opera Mini like Opera Mini 19 always plays those downloaded videos using devices other media player.
& the video playing feature of Opera Mini is too poor to use

now i see what you mean about video download playback. i never used that feature before, as i usually go to play and use tubemate or newpipe to download in the resolution and format of my choice.
the only way to get videos on my reduced and limited data rate.

i have a question.

why large downloads (wait for wifi) has no effect when extreme mode data savings is off?

obviously, downloads will start immediately even when wifi is not available. (mobile network is connected)

I'm lazy so i always use one hand to browse.

the top right corner is too far. open multiple pages in new tab needs two hand.

I like the pop up bar for long press on web link. How about another pop up bar for back button in favorite lists.

Strange, on my device it did the opposite. I never set it to wait for wifi but it did anyway frequently.

I don't really understand what you mean, can't you just use the device's capacitive back button?

For the pop-up I wish it displayed lower than the center the screen for better reach.

Now it's back to normal.

It was broken for the past week or so. It got no JavaScript and I can't post comments.

there are workarounds for one hand use but I'm afraid that new phones with Nougat won't work since they're hard to root.

New opera mini cancelled the floating pop up bar of a long press on favorite but brings multiple selective favorites with fixed top pop up bar which is quite convenient but hard to reach.

Maybe ui can be customized so the entire tool bar is allowed to stay button for one hand or stay top as current.

The red one?

Serious, Opera logo has always been red (or red/white for beta versions), I never saw an Opera with green or black logo.
