    Well, since I looked up Opera in the App Store Months ago,
    Opera ordinary was in the App Store. But now, it’s only Opera Touch. So Opera Touch is hard for me. I need ordinary Opera, why Opera removed it from the App Store?

    iPad Mini 2 with 12.4.1

    There was no Opera for iOS, so I'm told (not being an iOS user myself). Apple doesn't allow browsers that don't use its own Safari's rendering engine (aka webkit). There was an Opera Mini for iOS; not certain why that was discontinued.

    @sgunhouse By killing Opera Mini for iOS they basically made sure no one who needs bookmarks syncing is even using Opera for desktop anymore as there is literally no point in using it now. It's also bizarre they just sacked it and everyone seems to pretend it never existed. No explanation, no description, nothing. Just poof, gone over night. WTF Opera? Also Opera Touch is totally useless hipster design that I'm not quite sure why it even exists...

    @rejzor Off-topic here (not related to the original post as far as I can tell) and of course I have no contact with the developers. If you want to post in a thread about that topic (or start your own) that is fine, but I can't guarantee you'll get any response from Opera itself.
