<![CDATA[Opera Mini 16 for Android]]>The Opera Mini for Android team is happy to announce the release of Opera Mini 16.

In this version, we’ve included an option to block ads. If you want to enable the feature, you can do that in the settings under “Savings mode”. By enabling this feature, you will be saving browsing data, as well. Ads will be removed by our servers, so you will receive pages without extra advertising data.

Another new addition is a new page-loading animations feature. As you go to a new URL, its page thumbnail or address will pulsate in the webpage area while loading the page.

You will also notice the stop button is finally back where it wants to be. Now, it’s located where the forward button is and it allows you to better navigate with one hand.

Changes in Opera Mini 16.

  • Ad blocker
  • New page-loading animations
  • Stop button in the bottom navigation bar
  • Feature hints
  • New news feed layout
  • Add to home screen option in the address bar “+” menu
  • Installation and startup time improvements

Please give Opera Mini a spin and leave a comment with any feedback you may have for us.

I wonder if opera ad-block list at least on par with adblock plus's fanboy listing.

I guess it uses another list.

No ad block will block 100% of ads (unless it block you access to the Internet 😉 ).

I used extreme & high mode to open it, but same. Ads still there.

I can see the ad on desktop Opera too, so i guess that simply isn't blocked by the list used by Opera ad-blocker.

I've mentioned this on my past post.

I think high saving whitelist would be nice addition to the feature.

btw, amazon already high-saving only.

If it's possible I think per site settings for data savings mode would be very useful, for example I could set Facebook, Amazon and some other sites to always open in high data saving mode while all other websites open in extreme mode.

Using my older opera mini it can't even open simple website "www.voip-pal.com", so I finally downloaded a new opera mini (still keeps asking me every single day to try it, with a huge ad which I have to navigate around or click on "later". Stupid pain is the ass. I already have it) and the new opera mini, after all these years, can't even open that very simple & basic website. Seems pitiful to me. What's the problem? As has been the case for years now (lost count on how many years), there are other sites that won't open as well & numerous sites that won't open properly or fully or fully functional. What kind of supposedly worldwide use, developed for years browser (android) can't even open simple website? All I get is a blank page. I see also from the above comments that there is still the same old issues with downloading. I gave up on opera mini years ago bcuz of that. Can't believe it's still a big issue. Wow. If the above issues are inherent somehow in the type of browser it is, then I think there should be a bug header that says: sorry but please be aware that opera mini, due to its general makeup, is not able to open all websites & is not able to download much in many cases. I also know something else.. As I became very frustrated w/opera mini years ago for the above reasons, I used to report that I had no such issues w/uc browser. Then uc browser also started to compress for big data savings, same as opera mini, and guess what?..... it STILL works to open any website I have ever tried to open & still downloads anything ever tried. These issues have been present for me, throughout numerous versions & several android phones, for several yrs now. Hard to understand all these new, improved (supposedly) versions after versions (so many I've lost count) and I still can't go to numerous websites. Also, I see that although there is a couple responses from some helpers above, still for the most part, most questions & complaints go unanswered like it always was here. Also, when I came here to make this post, I have to scroll & scroll from oldest to newest comments to get to them. Well, I'm glad there seems to be some ppl who like & enjoy opera mini usage. I don't get it? Since I only rarely come here, if anyone has any useful reply, plz send to Nowurtalkin222@yahoo.com unless there is a notification process bcuz I forgot this forum even exists anymore & only found it bcuz I was scratching around for some tweak to get it to open www.voip-pal.com. Thanx

I composed a lengthy comment about the problems & clicked to post. It scrolled me back up to the top and so I scrolled back down here AGAIN (ugh) and see my comment did not post.

the function is working as it should, but it could be better. (just use the goddamn persistent running process for downloads)

I continuously report to Opera team to fix all the downloading problem since Opera Mini 7.6.4 some of the bug reports are confirmed by Opera Mini QA team. But now its Opera Mini 17 beta update 4 & the developers do nothing at yet. Opera Mini is just disappointed me. I'm totally fed up only for Opera Mini's crappy poor file downloading system.

It's honestly the dumbest decision to put in opera mini.

I know the development started from feature phone java environment which not having app notification, but what the heck? Why stop with just notification?

On some many case, downloading is a one shot thing, and with this notification priority it's like leaving it to fortune call.

Like just recently, while I was downloading a 800MB file, it unexpectedly stopped at 245MB. When I check it says 'waiting for WiFi network'. How strange! I was in my home WiFi network all the time! And it stopped while I browse the net WITHIN OPERA MINI! And did you know what I get when trying to resume it? download failed.

In the end I gotta let go 245MB for fu*king nothing.

Can you imagine how frustrated I am?

So please, opera mini, please use priority for downloading like other ordinary browser.
