Opera Touch - brand new, cool mobile browser

Hello people,
I think the new browser might be a really good one and I'd like to use it as I'd like to use opera mini.
It seems to be that there isn't any option for changing the defualt search engine at all, is it? If there wouldn't be any possibility to change the search engine I have to stay on the 'normal' mobile opera browser.

I'd be glad if someone could help me out here or supports my wish for changing the default search engine.

Nevertheless I have to say that the Opera community does an awesome job and I enjoy browsing the web every day due to Opera and its perfect handling.

best regards
Christian

Flow is completely useless for now. I hope they are aware we live in 2018 and most users have more than 1 device at home lol. If I can connect only 1 device with my phone so... what's the point?

@giordanioo @jimspriggs Same here. I love Opera Touch so far, and the Flow feature is fantastic (in theory). I just simply have too many devices I want to link together for it to work in practice. Personal phone, work phone, tablet, personal laptop, home PC, work laptop, etc. Would love to see it synched between all of my devices, not just two.

@djscream3 There's no sync in Opera Touch.

@leocg There was no password sync in Opera for Android as well, so it is not new.

Is there any chance that with Flow we can retrieve the connected PC's bookmarks (including Speed Dial) ? It will be a fair fallback for the No-SYNC choice in Opera Touch. Because yes, there are still unrememberable URL that I want to access with my phone/tablet.

Well, to be honest, I cannot understand why the Flow and FAB weren't incorporated to Opera for Android and the Touch was developed instead. The Touch is completely redundant as I see it and I'm not alone. Look at reviews on Google Play. I'm disappointed.

Very interesting idea. But the package requires the version of Android 5+. Is it possible to build a package for Android 4.4?

I like the new Opera Touch. But missing text wrapping, etc. Now, there are still some pages that are displaying because it does not show a full resolution in the desktop view, but top left corner.

Please bring back Opera Coast swipe to back and forth gesture feature in Touch.
This will be really helpful.

Connecting to PC Opera does not work: "Failed to connect" shows on both Android device and Desktop.
With no further information about what might be wrong

@dixet Are you connecting via the QR code or by typing the characters? May not matter, but just in case it does ...

Opera, Opera Mini, Opera Touch ... it would be nice to know for whom which version were created, in which features they differ etc. - maybe even in the short description in the Google Play Store. I now have them all on my device and don't know when to delete which.

Can someone confirm that instant search does not trigger the suggestions from the keyboard ?
I checked with Swiftkey and Samsung keyboard.

@mmichel Yep, I've noticed it here too.

So, in Touch, in order to go back/forward I have to touch the menu dots (top right), and then aim for the little arrows, right?

If the statement above is correct, and I'm not missing something too obvious, I have a question:
What the heck is wrong with you people?

I've a touchscreen laptop, and a touchscreen mobile etc. In none of these devices can I perform the SIMPLE action of swiping left/right for back/forward! Takes away half the UI friendliness this one omission; still I use Opera.
And now you're building a whole new touch system, with a whole new FAB (!?) button!
AND STILL I HAVE TO AIM FOR SOME SMALL ARROW WHICH IS NOW HIDDEN IN A MENU

How come no one is commenting on this? Am I the only one going back and forth in tabs?

Since Opera Touch opens by default on the search, it would be nice that the Fast Access Button would be present as well (centered above the scan and mic buttons), so I can reach my tabs faster.
