      The title clearly says Opera Mini for iOS.

      But, do you mean Send from Safari MacOS (desktop) to Mini? Or Send from Safari iOS (Mobile) to Mini?

          Mini in iPhone,
          yes, so:

          But, do you mean Send from Safari MacOS (desktop) to Mini iPhone? Or Send from Safari iOS (Mobile) to Mini iPhone?

          Edit: Ok, now I see that Safari for iOS can use extensions.
          With iOS 7 didn't possible.

          As I have seen, it's since iOS 8 so if now it's iOS 10... It should already be done.

          Edit 2:
          With this new knowledge: I was wrong.

            Maybe this post (if still works) > “Open In” Bookmarklets for Safari > Open in Chrome

            • some tweaks "Opera name" may do the job.

              It's in Opera's interest to make it easier to use their 3rd party browser.

              I don't see a browser as a application that you use to share things but as one that you use to see things shared to you in another apps.

                I need to "share" a URL that is currently open in Safari, to Opera Mini. They way iOS works is, Opera Mini has to provide a "share extension" that shows up in Safari, so that within Safari I can choose Share to Opera Mini.

                  Open in another browser a page that is already opened in a browser doesn't make any sense.

                    It does when I want to use Opera Mini as my primary browser. Apps open links in Safari, but I'd like to continue browsing further only in Opera Mini. I could just copy and paste the URL, but thats just an annoyance when Opera Mini could be much easier to use on a daily basis if it could be shared links from Safari or if links could be shared from Safari to another Opera device. Both of these require that Opera Mini provide the extension, due to the iOS model.

                      It would be easier if you could open links in whatever browser/app you want, don't you think?

                        Opera Mini needs to provide a share extension for that too, to open links directly from other apps. Whether it's to open in Opera Mini directly from another app or from Safari, Opera Mini needs to register a share extension so that it shows up menu.

                          Despite the request, this workaround may work until Opera employees read and decide if implement or not the extension.

                            I don't want to change the default browser. I only want to open specific links in Opera Mini when I want to continue browsing in Opera Mini instead of Safari.

                              Just to know because now I don't have iOS devices, so:

                              What's better in Safari compared to Opera?
                              "Despite now I know it accepts extensions"

                                It looks and feels native, the animations don't stutter, it has that extra layer of Apple polish - Things which an Android user can never understand 😃

                                  Well... I'm not an Android user, even when I had an iPhone I used to use Opera... sometimes Chrome...

                                  It's true that Apple it's another universe but despite the design if for a daily use doesn't implement some aspects that others implement... stack into a limited App it's at least for me, a loss of time.

                                  As an iPhone without jailbrake. 🙂

                                    Why are you guys acting like this is a wild thing to request? Chrome and Brave for iOS both add “open in” options in the share sheet in Safari. This is the norm, not the exception, for third-party browsers.
