      In old versions of Opera for Android I could see the source code of a web page by prefixing "view-source:" in the address bar (for example: view-source:https://www.opera.com), but now this feature does not work anymore (at least for me). I need to know how I can do this now. My Opera version is 35.0.2070.100283.

      Thanks!!

        Nobody has an answer for this?

        Please, I need a solution, or at least a reason for why this feature was eliminated.

          javascript:var n=document.firstChild;while(n && n.nodeType!=Node.ELEMENT_NODE) n=n.nextSibling;document.write('

          ' + n.outerHTML.replace(/&/g, '&amp;').replace(/</g, '<font color=\'#aa6600\'>&lt;').replace(/>/g, '&gt;</font>'));

                    Doesn't work. < p r e > (without space) is blank in this forum, that must be in right after write('

                        I do not understand your comments. What is that JS file for? I just need to view a website source code in opera for Android.

                          OK, now I understood your comment. This JS code is for use in the address bar. Thanks!

                          But, why is it no longer possible to see the source from the "view-source:" prefix? Having to run a JS code is not a good choice.

                          Hopefully some Opera developer answered me...

                            view-source: is a blank page in Opera 28 or latest Chrome 51.
