      I also noticed there is no longer a way to preview all open tabs. This is really a regress in funtionality.

      I agree.
      These two changes have removed the two things I loved the most about Opera for Android over all other browsers.
      What a disappointment.

        I find this forced upgrade to Opera for Andriod 18 to have made Opera all but unusable for many of my needs now. And with the forced exporting of all data from, and the deletion of, Mobile Classic by Opera for Android, makes this browser now just a joke. It pales in comparison as to what it once was. It's the browser of No, Can't Do That, and Oops! It Doesn't work.

        I gave a little rant on this in another post. But I will add two things here that I see are missing in the worst ways:

        Where's the reload button?

        And why can't a bookmark be saved to the home page? (Oh wait.. is it because Opera thinks we don't need bookmarks anymore?) 😕

        Funny, the links I used in Mobile Classic, open up pages in this browser without a problem.. but I can't create new ones.

          Inside the address field, at the rightmost spot.

          Visit the page -> O Menu -> Add to Speed Dial.

          Quite the opposite. That update requires additional permissions so you had to confirm it, and that's on top of the option to let an app to auto-update or not the Google Play Store gives you.

            Okay, cool. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

            I do not think you understand. I don't want the bookmark on my Opera speed dial. I want bookmarks on my tablet home page/desktop. Mobile Classic allows for this.

            I didn't have Opera for Android 18 on my tablet. Only Mobile Classic. Thus when seeing the update. It looked like one for Mobile Classic. Not O for A 18. So, like the travesty of having once installed O for A 16, everything was ported over to this, and Mobile Classic was removed. That is something I DID NOT give my concent to.

              Opera 12 Mobile Classic wasn't updated to 18, it's there in the Play Store... The regular Opera 12 edition was updated.

                I decided to give the "new Opera" another try to see if there's at least been some improvement, but no. It still seems to be every bit as unusable as it was six months ago: incredibly slow, poor rendering, terrible scrolling and panning, unreliable text wrapping, and still lacking even the most basic functions of a web browser, such as bookmarks. If this is the pace of progress, then I think I've lost all hope of this POS being able to catch up with Opera 12 during this decade, not to mention offer any improvement over it.

                  +1 sadly (and I've had a deep love for the Opera Mobile browsers over many years) 😞

                  Hey Presto! Where art thou?

                    I tried a lesser known browser called Next browser and its a opera lookalike. Although I must mention that the way pages are cached in Next is definitely better than Opera. I understand that pages are pushed out of memory when it gets full but Opera takes longer to reload them, Next had the pages reloaded in a blink of an eye. Why can't Opera implement that feature?

                      Go Next Browser is not Chromium-based.

                          I can't agree.
                          The engine has the same problems as the stock browser in my device and it already crashed in a quick test. Not even going to judge UI and Go Team.

                                  - Download and install Opera Mobile 12.1.14 This isn't in the Play Store any more, you have to download it and sideload it.
                                  - Run Opera Mobile, enable Opera Link (Menu > Settings > Opera Link) and wait for it to finish synchronizing
                                  - Install Opera Browser from the Play Store, your Opera Link bookmarks will be in a Speed Dial folder called "Legacy Bookmarks

                                    this is right,
                                    and I knew it already '

                                    but it seems impossible not to be able to add a new page for quick access, without going through the old program.

                                    Bookmarks are an important thing in a browser

                                      After the latest update, Opera has started to crash immediately upon clicking a speed dial.

                                      This is on Galaxy S2.

                                        I notice a incompatibility issue with Adblocker. Whenever it is on, the browser crashes constantly. It doesn't even let you report the crash.

                                          I don't have any adblocker installed.

                                          Played around with Titanium Backup. Clearing app data -> Opera works again. Restoring app data -> it crashes (just quits) right after ANY ui stuff is done. Even opening the menu with the red O will cause a hang&quit.

                                          So, the latest opera 18 will corrupt your profile, beware!

                                          I'm not too happy about this, as there is no way to sync speed dials (=bookmarks), this will cause quite a few hours of time to get right 😞
