Beta 41.0.2246.110204 Android 5.11 Verizon Ellipsis 10 Tablet in tablet mode
I posted this problem on November 18:
Another new problem. Mobile page for Hotmail web site (https://outlook.live.com/owa/) is displayed even though Desktop is checked in Settings. Stable Opera, as well as latest Chrome, Firefox, and Firefox Beta all display Desktop page in such cases. This is a problem because some Hotmail features are unavailable with Mobioe page.
End of originsl post.
By accident, I found a solution and am posting it in case it might help others. Append ?bo=1 to the URL above while in Desktop mode, and the desktop version is displayed.
As mentioned above, the problem occurs with Opera Beta, but not with Chrome, stable Opera, Firefox and Firefox Beta. Also does not occur with Chrome Beta, but DOES occur randomly with Naked Browser (free version). The fix works for both Opera Beta and Naked Browser.
I did a number of Google searches to try to find a definition of?bo=1 but had no luck.

Opera Beta 41.1.2246.111555 Android 5.1 Verizon Ellipsis 10 tablet in Tablet mode
This newest beta (released in Playstore today) kept giving me a blank screen until I uninstalled previous beta and did a clean re-install.
The Hotmail site problem I posted about on November 18 (and earlier today) still exists, but my fix still works.
Tabs opened through SpeedDial and Bookmarks now both open before existing tabs, so behavior is now consistent, even though different from stable Opera.

And also there still persists download issue steps:
1.download some file,
2.delete that file from storage,
3.do not delete log in opera app about downloading in downloads section,
4.download again the same file from step 1,
5.this file won't show up in download folder in pgone storage,
6.if you wanna fix step 5, you have to delete download log (step 3) to opera not remeber this download.
I think this is nonsense and sgould be fix asap, because it's looooong going issue, reported many times by me. But obviously you don't care... -

Opera Beta 41.1.2246.111555 Android 5.1 Verizon Ellipsis 10 tablet in Tablet
Having some problems with news, possibly to do with Reader mode. Unless I set Reader mode in Settings to Disable, stories don't always come up. After reading a few stories with Reader mode Auto/Enable, Opera hangs until I clear cache through Android settings.
Possibly unrelated to the beta, there seems to be a problem with Opera servers. I had to disable data savings in both stable and beta Opera. Otherwise, non-https pages don't load or take forever to load. This may have been going on for a while as I've been testing other browsers and wasn't using Opera much until the beta release on December 17.

More about news problem. With Reader mode Auto/Enabled, I'm sometimes getting a security error.
This server could not prove that it is api.elysium.opera.com ...

Could you please STOP changing UI every (not bug fix) update? It's starting to be annoying a lot!! Do you even know what you want?

I'm occasionally getting "freezes" when I start Opera Beta. I either get an all-white screen, or if I had a tab open when I last closed, an all-white screen with a blank tab. I'm also sometimes gettng a "not responding" message from Android. Clearing cache through Android settings fixes the problem.
Also, there's a noticeable lag after starting Opera Beta before the home screen is displayed, with or without open tabs.

Looks like Opera did some work on News feed. Reader mode set to Enabled now works as expected. Don't know what Auto is suppose to do. With previous beta, it worked Like Enabled, except a prompt about making reader mode default was sometimes issued. Now Auto seems to work the same as Disabled.

Micro Stutter in Opera Beta only !
Long pressing the + button could you make the special 3 vertical tab button deprecated on mobile phones using tablet mode.
Furthermore only since the overhaul started of the user interface months ago, Opera Beta has micro stutter when scrolling. Both on my Galaxy Note 2 and Note 10.
The official not a beta has no micro stutter when scrolling. It is annoying so I use Opera Beta to explore new features but I use the official non beta since that has no micro stutter.
I like the new overhaul but sincerely hope it is debug remnants or something like that causing Opera Beta micro stutter even on the simplest sites.
It started with the first overhaul beta release in September.

@mrninko, the changes we are doing is because of user feedback. We are continuously working on improving the user experience and stability of the product. But we hear you, there have been a lot of changes lately. We hope that the changes we are doing will make it easier for you to use the browser.
Thanks for the feedback @personal1985, @kenriley001 (and everyone else). We know there are still issues we need to iron out, but we hope you enjoy the new product while we work on making it even better!

@mrninko, I assure you that we do fix bugs as well, but yes UI changes, Chromium upgrade, and features have had higher priority for this release.
Regarding UI we are closing in on where we want to be, but there are likely some more changes coming up in the next few releases next year. I hope you can bear with us while we are working on this. And please continue give feedback in here, it might seem like we don't listen, or fix every issue reported, but your voices are heard and affect where the product will head.

@operamilleson, Could you tell me please how to disable automatic "personal news" detection? I really want to see original XML. I have already disabled flag "News feeds page action" (opera://flags#news-feeds-page-action) but it didn't help

The flag you mention are for the desktop product, not Opera for Android.
