Synced bookmarks and improved memory usage in Opera 28 for Android

Hi, everyone!
I'm very happy to announce the release of Opera 28, which allows you to sync bookmarks, along with better memory usage and all the latest improvements, security patches and bug fixes of Chromium 41.
This release contains:
- Bookmark synchronization
- Texture compression
- New exit dialog
- New app icon
- Upgrade to Chromium 41 (read what’s new on Dev.Opera)
- Various stability and usability improvements
The texture compression feature is the first of many steps to reduce memory usage on Opera for Android.
Our new sync feature uses Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) to make sure bandwidth and memory usage is kept to a minimum; therefore, it requires two new permissions to be added to our product: RECEIVE and C2D_MESSAGE.
If you are one of the people using our developer tools it might be worth noting that the socket name has changed from opera_devtools_remote to com.opera.browser.devtools.
This is also reflected in the opera://debug page.This update has been pushed to Google Play and should be available very soon. Please download Opera 28 for Android from Google Play and leave us your feedback as usual.

Well, it's great and all, but where and how do I synchronize my data? I'm signed in on all four devices I want to use (upgraded to O28), but there is NOTHING HELPFUL (no button, not even a link) to use. Even signing out and signing back in on Settings does nothing.
Typical...promise something, then fail to deliver. I may end up going back to Chrome...at least I can sync data far quicker between devices on that browser.

I am trying to sync my data to 3 machines 1 desktop 1 laptop and 1 android phone I can't no matter what I do log in using my phone and as for the rest I really would like to know how to sync my data. I do like Opera the Speed dial is amazing BUT if I cant Sync it then it's of no use to me, and I would have to go back to FF and I would hate that. Come on Fix it!

What happens when you try to login? I've tested it here on all my android devices and it works fine... (a nexus 5 running the latest lollipop, and my galaxy s2 running 4.1). I just signed in with my opera account and then a bookmarks icon appeared on the speed dial page with all my sync'd bookmarks

speed dial does not sync yet, in opera 28 only bookmarks sync.
Speed dial sync should be coming in opera 29, its in the latest opera 29 dev build (along with tab sync)

Some images don't seem to load with the new version (it'll show up with Off-Road Mode turned on).
An example is this image:

Is there some setting I'm missing? I'm on a Galaxy S4

Could you please make the "new exit dialog" optional? I don't like it at all.
I very often use "Google News and Wheather" to choose one headline after another and the news are opened in Opera then. In the old Opera after reading the page I have to press the Back key only once and Opera switches to background. In the new Opera I press it and come to the overview site. So I have to press the Back key again to switch to background. That's really annoying in daily use.
The same thing with the exit button itself. I have to choose it explicitly from the menu or by long pressing the Back key. There is no accidential choosing of the exit button. So why I have to confirm this now?
Please add an option for it. Thanks.
