      To whom it may concern.
      In a reply to my comment on Google Play I was asked about my opinion - If my understanding of the term 'beta' is correct, it would imply working in new features or making minor revisions, whereas you just removed about half of the functions, redid the design and yet made the app slower - every start takes approximately 3-5 seconds to display a static speed dial page. And there is no way of stopping the browser (as there was before with a long back key press) without going into memory management and stopping it. Not to mention the lack of the previously available modes of the interface.

            Does this version bring back the option to use the old tab switcher from version 36?

              useless news feed wasting data.
              pointless search suggestions in kindergarden design.
              crappy unintuitive ui plus combined adress/search fields.
              twitter forcefeed and google data slurp included.

                I don't think we will see anything more of 37.1, they have to fix listed issues to some extent, update the chromium version eventually, (I hope the last) and then release it as 38 beta with more countries as well. This looked like a quick preview because of the general outcry for a new version.

                Does this version bring back the option to use the old tab switcher from version 36?

                no

                  Hopefully the day after never!

                  I'm not enthusiastic for the direction Opera is going in here.

                    Nope. And I don't think it will come back.

                      Also when you have open several pages and you are watching (from tap selector perspective) the last/rightest one and click on back button to close tjat page it throws you to SD page first/leftest one page instead of next one page which was opened befrore. For illustration :
                      How it acts:
                      Opened: SD, pg1, pg2, pg3, pg4
                      You are viewing pg4 and close it with back button
                      It throws you to SD
                      How it used to work and should:
                      You are viewing pg4 and close it with back button
                      It shoul throws you to pg3

                      After today's bug fix tjis is still happening!!! @operamilleson

                        Suggestions:

                        1. Replace user agent menu with toggle switch; add the toggle switch to address bar; save user agent preferences for different pages.
                        2. Bring back option to select/add suggested search terms to search field without immediate search upon selection - entering longer queries is now a real pain as suggestions cannot be utilized (except when entering the last word 🤦).
                        3. Bring back the forward button.
                        4. Switching between tabs could be simpler - like swiping the address bar a la Chrome.
                        5. Speed dial syncing is required! I've had to redo it manually about 10 times already (different phones, resets, etc.), getting tired.

                        Opera is still my favorite browser on mobile. Keep up the good work!

                                I've had those blank tabs randomly occuring ever since that tab switcher was dumped on us, regardless of software version.

                                After a decade with Opera Mobile as my mobile browser of choice, I'm trying Firefox. The far from outstanding "improvements" Opera have been coming up with lately are a nuisance.

                                  I'm using Mini since June as well for the same reason. It looks so far that the direction Opera is heading with Mini is the more customizability, for more advanced users and smartphones, while O4A is the more simple one, more social orientated, for casuals and more for tablets.

                                    @mrninko can you describe more in detail. When I test:

                                    1. Open tab A from home page
                                    2. Click tab manager and open new tab B
                                    3. Click tab manager and open new tab C
                                    4. Close tab C, this will bring me to tab B
                                    5. Close tab B, this will bring me to tab A
                                    6. Close tab A, this will bring me to Home page

                                    This is how it works. In what scenario doesn't this work?

                                      Here's video what I'm talking about https://youtu.be/byM2LRkqYR8

                                      I opened few pages from one page. Then I went to the last/rightest page and closed it with back button. In previous versions it used to skip/show next one page but now it throws you to first page (from which pages were open).

                                      Btw. you can also see that windows in tab selector are all white. This was fixed in first 37.1 version,but after update it happens again (that white thing).

                                          There's still pullvdown to reload issue https://youtu.be/zl6jjOyVi9k

                                          It's happening for long time, reported few rime, but still not fixed.

                                          It happens after wrong page loading - page is not completely/whole loaded or is loaded as white. Or when you wanna refresh page which is saved for reading.

                                            If the Opera changes a few points as follwing, I will use it as a main browser.

                                            1. Change the menu bar(back, share, speed dial,tab change, account) position.
                                              : previousely I could change the menu bar position like "phone" mode, so the menu bar was positioned to the top.
                                              But now it is fixed position and I cannot change it. This would be uncomfortable for some users that have softkey device.

                                            2. Open website in same tab
                                              : when I open website in the bookmark, speed dial or URL bar, the website is being opened with New tab always. Is it possible to change it to be opened in same tab? Othereise add an option for this.
