if popup blocker is enabled, why do opera enable pop up ad-pages and google play links?

Hmm crashes are much less frequent since 36. I still had one, nonetheless...
These were actually replaced by "tab is not responding do you want to close/wait?" messages. The message almost always appear when you visit a website, switch to another app then go back to Opera (or locking the screen with a page opened in Opera then unlocking). There's a small lag then the message appears and the tab becomes responsive again.
Other nuisances:
-
1- When I open a page in a new tab in the background the thumbnail is not created it stays as a fully white thumbnail and not even the page title is loaded onto the tab switcher. That makes it impossible to identify and navigate through tabs open in the background.
-
2- Tab switcher is scrolling all the way to the left when you close a tab previous to the one you're using. Steps: Open 3 different pages in different tabs. As you stay in the 3rd tab, open the tab switcher and swipe up the 2nd one and you'll see. It's impossible to manage tabs that way (even more so if you have more than 3), really cumbersome.
I'm not sold in this version yet...
BTW the design of the new tab switcher is not that great to be honest, now that I see it in first person, the part with the page title and X button reminds me of Android ICS stock browser. It's "generic" and Holo instead of Material, IDK.

Tried installing the new Opera Android, it's listed as Opera Full Browser. Downloaded it and tried to install it...won't install.
Any help appreciated

Yeah. I would say the old switcher was alright and didn't need fixing. Probly could have spent the time on improving other aspects of the browser to make it even more better than the others.

I have some questions:
-Is Opera 37 for Android going to have the native ad-blocking?
-Are there any plans bringing Opera Mini's "Night Mode + Reduce eye strain" to Opera for Android as well?Thanks in advance.
P.S. wow I still have this account here, all right. Feeling happy that Opera has fixed all those problems that infuriated me back in the day, keep up the good work in every product

I don't think that adblocking will work properly with Opera for Android. Besides, what is the compat scale with Opera Max? With some occasions Opera browser forward java and/or ad-block (not being enabled) capabilities too. Naturally will work better via VPN.

Why wouldn't it work, many android browsers have it, like UC Browser for example. Also go to Opera Mini's Settings you will find "Night mode" and "reduce eye strain" there

Good news, Opera plans to include integrated ad-blocking and VPN in the Android version.
PS. No ETA, plans can change.

después de actualizar el disco duro de mi laptop, e instalar opera a la versión 36 java no funciona, el cual utilizo en México para hacer facturas electrónicas del sitio de administración tributaria, probé con FireFox tampoco pude y me regrese al IE 8 que viene con windows 7 y lo logre, hoy lo intente de nuevo con FF, que solo me ponía la consola de java, y me lo bloquea, me di cuenta que tenia que bloquearlo y luego permitirlo para que funcionara cada vez que tengo que usarlo.
no me di cuenta de opera porque a pesar usarlo no lo actualizaba, chrome se la pasó recordándome que ya no permitiría java -

Also, it seems that you posted in the wrong forum as your issue is with the Desktop version of Opera and not Android's one, what is the subject of this forum.

Feedback is the following:
a) Speed up all the processes concerning the release of O37 with ad-blocking so that we don't have to wait 2 months for it. Nothing is more annoying than seeing endless ads covering all the screen space of a poor smartphone.
b) Add missing privacy options in the settings (or at least in the opera://flags):
- Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
- Predict network actions to improve page load performance
- Send a ‘Do Not Track’ request with your browsing traffic
It's crazy that Google Chrome for Android has those options and Opera who supposedly cares more about privacy does not.

I'm not sure if the bug fix release was supposed to fix the plain white tiles in the tab view but I still get them.

^^Same here. I wonder was it always like that or is it happening only with O36? Could be maybe related to some tab hibernation feature?

One big negative that has to be addressed as well is the inability of the browser to keep playing music through YouTube when being in the background (tab and app). For reference check Firefox.
