Opera beta 37.2.2192.108734
Looking good and running stable.
I can't find that 'news country selector', but would rather switch off the entire newsfeed completely.

You can find a country switcher and an option to turn off the news feed completely in the Settings > News section.

Download destination management is excellent.
Needs language selector, and maybe cookie management. Panopticlick reports vulnerability to supercookie tracking even with cookies switched off.

Hmm, let me look into that.

Looking ahead to the next beta release

Thanks for the update. I have a question, why can't I see the logo of these sites in my SD although they are being shown fine in the suggestions?

I'll look into this.

It's really annoying to see that those opera's "ads" are permanently showing... [url=https://postimg.org/image/67vvcdnx5/][img]https://s20.postimg.org/atrzkq9gd/sketch_1475914445093.png[/img]

You can remove them by long-pressing them and dragging them to the trash. They won't appear again.

@sgunhouse Thank you for the explanation and all of your help! What was the trick for the post with the photo previews, was it the underline thing?
Also feel free to delete the unnecessary stuff (the posts without the urls and those with url only)

The trick for image links is just to combine the markdown code for images and links - put the image code inside the brackets where the link text would go. Click the quote button on your old post to see the code - if I tried the post it the forum would try to interpret it, but quote will copy the code into the comment box so you can read it.

Sadly, they appear again and again after some days... This week 2 times.

Unfortunately it shows only the text and no code, I'll try following your advice the next time.

Take a look here, it includes a guide on how to include thumbmails on the posts.

Thanks leo, already done that before (check https://forums.opera.com/post/107730) I don't know what happened this time, the preview was showing the images just fine like in the above link, then by pressing post I got the message "flagged for moderation". I assume something was wrong with the underlines as sgunhouse explained, I guess we 'll see next time

What triggers the spam filter will always be a mistery.

Eh, can you do your testing in a dedicated thread, folks? There's https://forums.opera.com/category/25/forum-feedback for instance.

Alright so after some extended use (build 108356) I firstly have to say that the browser does not hang anymore while using the tab selector, which is a big thing (although I 'd wish it wouldn't take that long for being fixed)

Some things that are missing and totally needed and should be brought over from Opera for Desktop or Mini:

• Auto-filling of forms on webpages -> for convenience and productivity, highly needed.
• Privacy options "do not track", "predict network actions" and "prediction service for completing URLs".
  -> Because it's somehow contradicting Opera caring for privacy with VPN services and the like and not having those.
• An extra entry for deleting cache from inside the app for reasons
  ->of convenience (not having to do 10 actions to go to Android's app manager and do it from there)
  ->to separate cookies & login data from problematic pages that had been broken for some reason or two and the only way to fix them is to clear the browser cache.
• The obligatory "Night mode with reduced eye strain" for reading at night.

About Bookmarks:

When browsing the bookmarks I very often don't know where I am in the tree, so I'd like the folder's name to be shown where now "Parent folder" is, (in bold if possible like Mini does) with an extra squarish "UP" Folder icon to the right, to go to the parent folder. Also the spacing is still very big in my opinion, when I see my bookmarks in Mini I feel comfortly, here I feel annoyed and distracted.

Those for now from the back of my head, more to follow, and the other things about the red banner, etc are still valid

Could you please implement dark theme option to set as default? It may look like incognito mode. Current default theme is too bright! It burns eyes...

Btw. When I open a new tab I would like the Speed Dial to be displayed. Using home button seems a bit counter-intuitive.

Plus one. Id love a dark theme. Its my dream since the begining of opera mobile.

Icognito mode has a pretty nice theme. :yes:

ISSUE
When u have open saved pages pane and open some of saved one then press back button to close this page and select another one from saved this action (press back button) throws you to speed dial page not previous (saved pages) pane. Before update it works perfectly,now it sucks. You have to on amd on open saved pages pane when you wanna read saved pages... Logic in it?

What about to add side scroll bar to show current position?

Beta 37.3.2192.109350 Android 5.1 Verizon Ellipsis 10 tablet in Tablet mode

Although there are a few things I like better in the stable version, I suspect part of that is simply that I'm used to the stable version.

About the only thing I see wrong with the newest beta is that SD tabs are placed before existing tabs; bookmark tabs are placed after. While I like the new tabs after existing, I can live with either method, but it should be consistent.

I don't like the new UI layout.

The option button that contains setting, data saving and find in page should remain at the bottom right corner. Moving it to the top makes it harder to operate with one hand.

Home button should contain speed dial, history, offline pages, bookmarks and download tabs.

Feed channels can occupy top right corner because it's the least pushed button.

Night mode and encoding options would be great.
