@leocg: Is it really not working on Opera, and on Chrome it does.

@adam1709 Like I said, the problem is most probably with YouTube.

@leocg: So Opera has no influence on it? Then why is there no problem in chrome?

@adam1709 If YouTube is sending Opera a different link/page, all Opera can do is to try to convince them to send the same information they send to Chrome or other browsers. If that fail, Opera can try to implement some workaround but it should always be the last option since it may break pages.

@leocg: I checked how it works on Facebook and no problem - I don't even have to turn on the desktop mode.
"If that fail, Opera can try to implement some workaround ..." so I understand it's a matter of some fix? Because what can I do as a user? You are a moderator, you can definitely report it where it needs to be easier than me.

I'm still preferring Chrome on my phone. Well, mainly because I don't have so much memory on it. And second of all, I just so used to it. But maybe, when I have more space on my phone I will opera a try since I really like this browser.

@adam1709 opera and google chrome are two different browsers.

For reasons best known to the developers, this two browsers have to stay unique.

Stop the comparisons.

@smallzterrell: You may be right, I just interpret it as some kind of error on the Opera side.

@adam1709 thanks for your response so far.

Their is something you need to understand about mobile phones and technology as a whole.

It evolves on a daily basis, so you need to play the catch-up most of the time.

For optimum experiences on opera for example, the system-update of your mobile phone needs a very recent upgrade.

Now, Adam . . . In all honesty is your phone lacking in this area?
