Hello,

Do we have an update on this?

I am searching for a non-usa privacy first browser.

@simmersimmer I agree. I downloaded Opera on pc and imported my bookmarks but when I downloaded it to IOS it won't sync anything.

definitely a deal breaker for me...

@kenmissouri Same here. I am using Opera for desktop but still safari for iOS.

It's a shame because it's actually a great product.

@kervin152 If you need sync on iPhone, you could consider Vivaldi. It’s non US and syncs with its desktop sibling.
Otherwise connecting Opera on desktop with Opera on iOS with Flow gives you a rudimentary experience of synchronization at least. (Showing you recently opened tabs on desktop e.g.).

@Stadtmusikant the Flow based sync doesn't work realiably... I'm not sure it is even flow based, because when I send message to Flow it almost immediately appears on my phone, while the tabs from the computer do not.
For example I am still looking on my phone at the tabs that have been opened on my PC 5 minutes ago, no new tabs are pushed, the closed ones are not removed.
So it's not working reliably at all.
On the PC/ Mac you also can't see your mobile tabs. However, let's say that this is not that big of a deal... But being able to see the PC/ Mac tabs on the phone is. And it has to be reliable.
For me Opera has the best UI at the moment and feels super smooth, but still can't make it default browser.
After the previous sync issues that they had, i can only try it from time to time and that's it. Sad story.

Maybe I'm a different kind of breed. I really like the minimalist design of Opera on iPhone. I wouldn't want to have a fully flavored Speed Dial like Vivaldi has that syncs with your desktop PC, or similarly Safari (which I don't use because it's not available on Windows or Android, which I also work with).

I understand that people think different and would like to have better sync capabilities, but at least in my case, I don't really miss them.

I need everything sync'd between my computer and phone. Passwords, etc. Until the Opera mobile browser allows a sign in and sync option I'm sticking with chrome. Shame, I really like Opera otherwise
