To have legacy bookmarks in Opera Browser.
- 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

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

I hope future versions of Opera for Android will incorporate better usage of the Opera Link feature.

No support for Android Gingerbread ?
So what's the point of this release anyway? -

Why would you say that... this is what we've changed:
- hiding action bar is now allowed in tablet UI, there is one known issue with it on some wikipedia pages
- when grabbing the page, scrolling and releasing the action bar will snap based on how much of it is visible. Currently this snap threshold is 50%, which works well for mobile since there the action bar is not very high. For tablet UI on the other hand there's also the tab bar, meaning that it's quite possible to scroll a small amount without the action bar being hidden. This is not possible anymore. -

i always want my bar visible to quickly select the tab.
on firefox mobile its optional for example you can also set it as option. the space used by action bar is not a big thing for a tablet i meant and removing it annoys me cause i have to scroll up to see the bar. its useless .but on a mobile phone screen estate its meaningfull.
hope devels think about it in future.
i love the way opera scrolls smoothly ... lol

another thing is about the unload tab issue
well for example i got 4 tabs open i open an another one while i got 200 mb ram available and then the other tabs begins to unload and reload when i select them .
a memory limit manager must be strictly applied i think cause i do not want tabs reload every time .
well i do consider that on a 10 tabs active session for example ; must be managed at least 5 lru active ...
that might be chromium issue or opera's it might be fixed and will be welcomed.
also opera:config for opera based settings ... ( future i think)
waiting for the opera addons which could be swiped fom an edge of screen also..
my thoughts are like this .
whatever ive been using opera since 2003 i always love it .

Currently using One Browser because of following reasons.
1. Opera M is bloated with features that cannot be optionally chosen :
a ) descovery. I hate it that the browser always loads stuff I dont care about. This is surely a way of spaming. But though there have been complains, Opera ignores this.
b) the browser reloads background tabs automatically every few seconds or minutes. Can someone tell me what good this is ? I only know that when I am on 9gag.com and I switch to another tab, I usually lose the position I was before and have to scroll afresh. When I am typing on a board, I end up losing my text on some sites.
And last but not least this creates unnecessary traffic. I don't care if I am on wifi or not ! At my university everyone has a limited amount of traffic allowed through wifi.
2. No flash support. On ICS and co Opera was the leading browser in this. Opera doesn't care.
3. Bookmarks. I cannot manage bookmarks like on Version 12. If I set a bookmark, I first have to set it as speed dial, then I have to go to speed dial before I can asign it to a folder ? ? ? ??Well most of what has gone wrong with Opera, is beieng worked on on One Browser. I even wrote this text with it. Very promising.
So guys, it is sad, but I think Opera is not a future browser on the mobile market because they are focusing too much on new stuff rather than catching up with what was awesome about them.
