Hello,
I'm using Opera Mini browser on different platforms for around ten years.
Country is Belarus and mobile carrier is Velcom all ten years.This week I have an issue with the ads in browser. Browser version is 18.0.2254.106542. It is ads for "Velcom apps club".
I have 2 options in the ads screen: "Subscribe" and "back". The buttons are close to each other and sometimes I click Subscribe instead of back.
Wrong subscription happened twice in five days. I unsubscribe immediately after subscribe and It is going to take around 1 USD (2 BYN) out of my balance each time I click wrong button.
In Velcom, they recommended me to switch to Opera New or Opera Mobile. I didn't find what is Opera New in the Google Search but I know that Opera Mobile is not so good in saving traffic.
Could you please help me with the following questions:
-
What can I do to avoid clicking wrong button in Opera Mini ads?
-
What is Opera New?
-
What is alternative to Opera Mini which would save around 85-90 percent of my traffic?
Thanks!

No idea on 1, as I don't use Mini.
I'll guess on 2 that they mean Opera Touch. Opera has 3 browser for Android - Opera Browser for Android (what you call Opera Mobile), Opera Mini, and Opera Touch. Opera Touch is intended to be used with 1 hand
Opera Browser for Android does include a Data Savings mode in Settings; I am not aware of a similar feature in Opera Touch.
Though if the options in your ad are Subscribe and Back, couldn't you use your phone's Back button instead of the one on the screen?

@sgunhouse I have Opera Mini as well as Opera Browser installed on my Android phone. Both have compression turned on and I feel like Opera Mini compresses my traffic several times better.
Phone's back button leads to opening previous screen which is not very convenient since I may not remember the link I clicked on it. And the "back" button in Ads opens the page I wanted to view. However, thanks for the suggestion!

@leocg Just dislike updates for apps. Want to control what is downloaded and when. I don't handle a very secure information so I don't see a reason to update everything all the time.
Do you think the Ads will disappear after update?

Opera News
Thank you! Probably this is what they suggested. However, this is not a browser as I understand.
