Can't disable it on desktop either - the best you can do there is make sure it doesn't load stuff in advance. (I presume it doesn't do that on Android.)

Nobody really needs that but is there just in case. Today news http://m.ign.com/videos/2014/10/21/ign-plays-sunset-overdrive-awesomepocalypse-101 is blank via Discover, btw; may have a title in scroll mode but is blank page on swipe.

Better not to visit the discover page , or try to choose the categories that interest you , so that you will not feel angry

being a long time user of opera, felt bad while removing.
indeed it revolutionized the way we used internet in the beginning due to innovations.

i will be more happie, if opera finds some other way to make money rather than discover.
but now it time to move on to others.

When you see some extra buttons as for popsugar.com then we can comment your statement, until then Discovery remains in a friendly zone.

Perhaps I'm missing something but how come I can't swipe between news pages with 28 beta?

What is need to be done is they need to put add news by Url like rss to discover page .. to be more fun

@sagrid you should be able to. Does it still reproduce? Can you double check version and submit a bug? @mele1986 I totally agree... think having a reddit rss in discover. I would eat that feature up!

I think that if history page has 2 columns as for a larger viewport with a 7 inch display 1280x800 (tablet apps page layout has 8 items per line) then swipe doesn't work - Allview H7, ODM unk. Second issue: discovery is blank when Opera Mini beta 5 works in background and the cache was deleted on both v28, that's interesting. I will try to reproduce that with Nexus7 2012.

Opera Mini is not in cards for blanks. New rule: If for some reason Chrome browser shows blank pages on any url (flags missbehaviour) then Opera Discovery page is blank (actually content is loaded but not displayed). Possible connectivity interactions: opera max, bitdefender. I will fill up a bug report once the pattern is obvious.

There needs to be a way for users to permanently disable this unnecessary feature which not seldomly is fed with content of an ineffable tabloid nature.

I'm willing to pay to get rid of "Discover"!!!

... and those occasional adverts masquerading as speed dials that suddenly appear in Opera Mobile.

Although I arguably still have a valid licence from when Opera Mobile was a paid for product several years ago.

It's somewhat ironic that the Opera Blog recently published an article regards applications using up data in the background (sometimes uneccesarily or against the wishes of the user) while Opera themselves produce a browser that does exactly that. The solution is stopping it, not compressing it.
