Finally the new tab / home behavior is reasonable again!
Hmm, hasn't updated yet. Is the data savings switch more accessible now as it's shown in the pictures?
No, it isn't shown and it's still buried deep in the settings, so that you use it always or more likely never. I've also tried the beta version again and while the play store pictures show saved data and an accessible switch, that's just still the OLD version, so if you please could undo the other changes of this UI change, we could have a great browser again. I think the only thing that got better with the new UI is the new sharing dialog (bonus points for adding Direct Share)

I'm having trouble finding out where I choose where to save downloads.
I remember it was possible to download to SD card before at least -

A somewhat trivial one...
Please get rid of the utterly pointless pulsing speed dial animation that gets in the way before loading a page from a speed dial.
Animations are for simpletons!

The last version 42.6.2246.114522 does not open the main page of the WiFi router Asus RT-N65U. After entering the login and password, a blank page opens. If you restart Opera and try again to open the address of the router, the page is opened without authorization.
Tried on the Samsung Galaxy A3 (android 5.0.2), Samsung Galaxy Tab3 (android 4.4.2), XiaomaMi5 (android 6.0.1) -

Opera programmers can fix it, it started by redisgning of the User Interaction interface.
This is the last stutter free Opera from Opera itself. Version 3700
Verify that it's really Opera server don't install from other sources.
If Opera programmers would use that version as a start all over again point the new overhaul is the only thing to change and errors made or inefficient subroutines can be prevented.
I think the overhaul is mostly done in Dalvik/Art but even then sliding effect of bringing a menu in the screen should not bring my phone or tablet to its knees.
The core render engine is great and is I believe written in Native Development Kit.
That's why I define the Opera browser as 2 seperated programming paradigmas.
I continued using Opera 3700 and don't update the normal version, but every beta release I hope Opera has finally understood what they are missing compared to what Opera had.
Speculation is that Opera has a new development team with not enough experience in User Interaction Interfaces bridged to Native Development Code like the Blink engine core.
The current team is probably so used to microstutter and old Windows 98 animation effects they don't know any better anymore.
I turn into Steve Jobs when I am hungry.
Steve Jobs wouldn't have allowed this and would be very angry. I read Steve Jobs book and he was in language a vulgair man like Mozart but his products were not. Steve Jobs is no longer and me spitting out some language like him wouldn't change Opera development since I have no power and am a customer only.
Sorry, Opera Team you don't know any better anymore, you're used to slow, buggy, and stutter even on high end devices so much.

When adblock will work without data saving mode enabled? It's block almost nothing. And more - if I don'want to use data saving, I also can't use adblock.
I also don't like exit option - I must tap 3 times on 3 buttons for exit and this is stupid! -

... and when the next update comes along, please make it a thorough and complete reversal of all the current UI disasters.

Hi guys not very technically minded so go easy on me please.Have a Samsung Galaxy Ace using Opera Mini 4.2 I think and using Sky as service provider.When accessing certain gambling websites they refuse to let me sign in properly saying You are trying to access from a prohibited country.Is this because the IP address Opera are using is from abroad or will it be my service provider I need to speak to.It doesn't happen every time but at least twice a day.Very annoying!Can I change my IP address?Thanks,Mike from Belfast,United Kingdom

Opera pages jump around all overthe place. NO idea what this is for... Android support for extensions appears to be lacking.

Why is opera mini updated so often and opera not?? It's over month without fixes and new features!!

update frequency is the one metric for google playstore's rankings that manufacturers can actively control.
so more mini updates equals a somewhat better ranking, despite running on the same 2254 codebase for ages.
meanwhile opera for android is like watching a trainwreck.

I guess it's time to start use another browser while there's such "unique" update support...
