@aproize Although there doesn't seem to be an official announcement, Opera Mini for IOS seems to have been discontinued or is at a development hold.

Can you login at https://sync.opera.com/web/?

It's "403 request forbidden" on every mobile browser app in normal and private mode. It works alright only on the desktop.

@aproize That's strange.

@leocg indeed it is but what exactly do you mean? I've been using the Mini on mobile for more than a decade.
I have an old mcbook with OSX 10 and the latest Opera 64 to it and this is the only thing that works today. So:
a) I can choose to carry my waffle-iron 3-kilo-laptop with me
b) I can choose to move my data to default providers' less secure cloud storage (I'm a EU citizen, so American law and data policy, you know what)
c) I can get a graph paper notebook and "share things to myself" in the classic way
Which one is the most 21st century data clouds and crypto-tech era-alike solution??????????

Don't get me wrong but quite a number of users have already started quite a number of threads on this in Opera Mini for iOS category looking for useful answers, since there has not been any official announcement about what is going on.

@aproize I mean that it's strange that the site seems to be blocking IOS.

@leocg does Opera block iOS or does iOS block Opera? Why the incompatibility? It worked fine on my iPhone until last december when I got myself an iPad and it turned out Mini won't login and sync my data between the devices - or at all. I logged out of my iPhone's Opera Mini too to test it, and it never let me log in again.
"Connection error. Cannot sync data"

@leocg yes yes, that actually is the thread where I'm coming from, lol. There's my reply from 12/jan/2019 where I had my iPhone still on iOS 10 and could not login to sync my devices. so I gave it a go in the Sync topic and found an Opera team member and an Administrator.
Everyone struggles that there is no fix only workaround, like on Touch I can manually transfer urls one by one into an endless list of links on Flow. Seriously?
