<![CDATA[Opera for Android 44]]>We are happy to announce the release of Opera for Android 44 (44.1.2246.123029).
As I announced in the Opera 43 post, we've improved the UI and many other features work better in Opera 44. We've now added the feature many of you have asked in the past - Desktop/Mobile site switch in the page 3-dot menu.

Change log for this version:

  • New, fresh UI for phones and tablets
  • Ad-blocker improvements
  • Desktop site switch in the page menu
  • VKontakte social login
  • Media notification bug fixes
  • Sound and video fixes

Our next focus is to improve each feature (especially “D” feature) more user friendly and convenient.

Please try the new version and leave a comment with any feedback you may have for us.

Scrolling up to summon the top toolbar doesn't work. Doong that in any speed used to do it, now it seems like I can only do it by a very aggressive scroll-up. Not good.

Any example site? It will help us fix the issue faster.

EVERYWHERE! You changes something fundamentally, obviously. This problem exists also on my tablet.

Refreshing pages doesn't work properly. On some pages like Yahoo! Mail some elements turn blank after refreshing.

This is a known issue, and we are looking into it.

Also, take a look at the interface on mobile phone. You have not one but TWO menus but the navigation buttons are hidden. Why. How'bout re-thinking that? Accounts and bookmarks would work nicely from one single menu.

From reading your comment, you are on a mobile phone, but chose to use Tablet layout. Any reason why you chose that layout? Unfortunately, tablet layout on mobile phone still have some challenges.

Simple. Tabs are on top on every browser I use. Previous version had the layout well thought out. Now you broke it.

Annoying message (covering the content of the page) when opening multiple pages in a new tab: "A new tab has been opened. Switch "which constantly reloads, charges and does not disappear when opening multiple cards;
You do not need an ad block counter (you can not even reset it);
There is no preview if the site is already added to favorites;
While browsing the videos, for example, on youtube.pl and extinguishing the screen, the browser stops playing video (voice);
No access to the synchronization panel;

I appreciate the link, however the images on Google Play do not adequately show an entire filled Speed Dial page...I ask this because there are so many complaints here about the icon size on O44's Speed Dial page.

If I have opened a tab it closes it; if I have clicked a link it works like the browser's Back button.

It doesn't close tabs anymore. This annoys the crap out of me and is entirely different from what I expect my back key to do and what it does in EVERY OTHER APP!

Please revert this or make it optional. I can't even exit the settings with the back key but have to reach all the way to the top right to hit the back arrow.

I consider Opera broken because of this. Strange this isn't even mentioned in the change log.

  1. Still getting a freeze when visiting URL shorteners like https://goo.gl in O44

Sorry, this issue is still qued in our to fix list.

  1. Why does O44 not support HTML5 audio playback, I mean when a website wants to play music in the background (without showing control buttons) using this code:
    <audio autoplay loop>
    <source src="music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
    </audio>
    Or is it intended?

It's not supported in Opera mobile.

    Certainly since v.37 and the series of UI disasters that followed.

    A worthy update.
