Hello, I miss sime features, especially opera link and that you can use other searchproviders as Google. Why not make all available? And I don't like the new tab view as the old one was one of the best features of Opera as it was much faster than all the other browsers. But great, that you keep updating the app. I like it quite much.

Please don't remove save page. It's very useful feature

As I wrote in the first post, it will come back. Please be patient.

Bugs found so far are

Browser is a bit more buggy than previous one
Much slower in browsing

I terms of time to load a page? Scrolling performance?

Font is too small even on large setting

What device do you have?

Image quality doesn't change

True, that is a dead setting right now.

about:config not opening.

True, and it won't open for now. Settings are being redesigned.

The new opera GUI is a badly

No back/forward button

You can use hardware back button, plus you have back/forward swipe available.

No opera link

And there won't be, Opera Link is being depreciated. All Opera products are moving to Opera Sync, Windows will also follow this rule.

No option for change quality images

There is one on data savings page. Due to a bug it's not working properly right now, but it should be fixed soon. Please remember this is still a beta product.

Power supply for download files

Hmm... could you elaborate on that one?

Tab switch is annoying, Add option for change like old style or on list view

It requries the same ammount of moves like the old one, plus the tabs previews are bigger, so it's easier to see what was the content of the other tab.

I now deploy previously version because new version is a S***

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope future updates will change your mind about our product.

And the fonts are too small on every site or maybe on some specific url?

First of all, I like the new layout and it seems to be at a similar speed like the version before.

I have the lumia 720. Am I the only one who cant flip the phone for a widescreen view of the web page?

Ya fonts look small on every site even with large settings. And also fix Tamil font issues. Tamil fonts and font size are good in opera mini beta for Android.

I found the function but still better be buttons on GUI

No opera link

And there won't be, Opera Link is being depreciated. All Opera products are moving to Opera Sync, Windows will also follow this rule.

When you implement this Opera Sync in Opera Mini?
How move my bookmarks from Opera Link to Opera Sync?

No option for change quality images

There is one on data savings page. Due to a bug it's not working properly right now, but it should be fixed soon. Please remember this is still a beta product.

I found the option, though it is better that all options are on options

Power supply for download files

Hmm... could you elaborate on that one?

Yes, For example in the previous version (Without power supply):
[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Now on new version (Need power supply or aka connected to mobile charger):
[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Tab switch is annoying, Add option for change like old style or on list view

It requries the same ammount of moves like the old one, plus the tabs previews are bigger, so it's easier to see what was the content of the other tab.

It is wrong, more movements are needed to switch tabs, For example in the previous version you can exchange the tabs with a single step:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

On new version you need to scroll far (left or right) to reach a tab, Example from tab 1 to 6, tab 2 to 9, tab 3 to 20....
Change the tabs in the new version is somewhat slow and annoying (Scroll, Scroll, Scroll...)

Example change from tab 1 to tab 6:

Tab 1:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Tab 2:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Tab 3:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Tab 4:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Tab 5:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Tab 6:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope future updates will change your mind about our product.

The version is interesting but has done more problems than the previous version:

-Slow GUI

-No antialiasing on font like old version

-Gesture for back/forward page, If you are writing a long message this is a problem if you need to correct a message

-Small font on large text mode

-No zoom option

-New speeddial look a very old design, I like more old (Big, Preview page)

Another problems:

Remember password on all sites, Please add option for disable Remember password like old version:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

This misaligned address bar and you can not go to the end of the url to edit:

Old version:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

New version:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

I can not move the text indicator until the end of the url

COM button on keyboard:

[](http://pho.to/96eiS" target="_blank)

Always and used opera mini on all my devices but now I will have to switch to the competition as it is repaired

Thank you

After playing with it for a while here are some thoughts:

The UI is cool, but the background is questionable;
When dealing with tabs I expected a swipe down to close the tab;
Where's the option for no images at all? It's also missing;
Site loading is slower in this version;
No more scroll bar, such a down;
I would like an option to place the address bar at the bottom, it's much easier to reach it;
An option for Do Not Track would be cool;
In the data savings screen I would expect swiping left and right would change the data range;
Still in data saving the image quality slider is strange, it doesn't look clickable and actually sliding you finger does nothing
The lost of full screen is a down;
No landscape mode is also lame;
The loading indicator is almost invisible, it was much better inside the address bar;
When using the light theme it could follow it, it could then look similar to iOS and Android version;
Hated to not be able to change the search engine, I had to tile DuckDuckGo as a SD;
I hate those Google suggestions as I type the address, at least give a flag to disable that crap;
Sometimes when clicking buttons or links it doesn't show a visual tip I really clicked it and together with the almost invisible load bar makes me click thousands of time over the link until I realize it's loading;
Find in page adds two bars, one with what you're looking for and another with buttons to cycle between the results, it should be one bar to hide the least of the page;
The look & feel of toggles and drop-down menus are unnatural to the OS, toggles should not contain those three stripes and drop-downs should be drop-downs and not pop-ups with OK/Cancel.

And why have you blocked it from installing in SD?

Indeed they are really small. I would expect the Large option to make font size larger than address font and normal the same size.
