What If Browsing on Your Phone Could Earn You Rewards?

Himmelsschlingel last edited by@shintoplasm01 I guess, we're in the same boat, aren't we?
What I get is, that they have to make some money anyhow and that all this commercial and promotional stuff is meant to do this. As long as you can opt out of all these stuff, I don't mind. It's the browser, stupid.
Having strong ties to China, collecting a lot of data unless you tame them and these funny little features no serious user actually wants makes it hard to love Opera some times.
But heck, I still like it for the things it offers still. And although I've been trying out all the other candidates I always come back. -

@Himmelsschlingel I do wonder - why do you (we?) come back to Opera, and not, say, go over to Vivaldi? I've been very conflicted about Opera for years now...

I used Vivaldi for a whole lot of years actually, before I reverted to Opera. I found the Opera of 2022 the cleaner and more well-rounded browsers, while Vivaldi having a lot of bugs, actually.
But there's hardly anything in Opera that you can't do with Vivaldi nowadays except for the AI, if you're in it, sans all this pomotional stuff that has become so dominating in Opera.
Talking about Android, if you ever try to install Vivaldi or Firefox on it for all its worth, you might find that you don't have to opt out all the bloat that Opera or even Brave shovels around your neck. While I agree that Opera for Android is quite a sophisticated browser it's also full of some questionable stuff like affiliate links or this new rewards thing.
I don't think it isn't the time to give up on Opera completely but maybe to take its seat in the second row if you ask me. Vivaldi and Firefox have improved a lot. Question is if Vivaldi isn't overwhelmingly overblown with features and especially customization, that abhors many people to use it.
I'm not fully convinced by neither Opera, Brave, Vivaldi nor Firefox at this moment. -

@christinemthethwa: ok please what is the difference between level one level 2 level 3 and level 4 because currently now I am in level one my booster is x4 so you are telling me that you are in level four and you're booster is x4 how is that possible what is the difference what changes as the level increases is it about the points that we get on each task or what exactly usually change

@Kingsley1 When I was on level 1 to 3, my points boost was 2x. It became 4x when I was on level 4 therefore I was under the impression that it increases as you get to a higher level. It looks like Opera changed it from 2x to 4x for all levels, therefore nothing changes when you get to a higher level LOL.

@Kingsley1 I think that the rewards are real otherwise they wouldn't say so LOL. I use Opera Mini and I have MiniPay and there is still no functionality to redeem points. They said rollout will be done in phases and the first wave will cover a select group of countries, with more added shortly after, so I am assuming it has started in some countries but not yet in my country.
