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

The new opera GUI is a badly
No back/forward button
You can use hardware back button, plus you have back/forward swipe available.
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)[
](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 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.
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)[
](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?
" What device do you
have?""
lumia 520
""And the fonts are too small on every site or maybe on some specific url?
Indeed they are really small. I would expect the Large option to make font size larger than address font and normal the same size.

Hi,

Here's the changlog for 8.0.1.7 version:
- [WP-801] Review client id in crash logger
- [WP-829] Crash in RequestPaint()
- [WP-833] Crash in download manager, division by zero

- [WP-816] Crash on data saving panel
- [WP-835] OOM while creating crash report

I encourage you to give it a try and check if stability of our build has improved.

Firstly, thanks for another update, slowly starting to work somehow.
My test for stability and the overall quality of the browser in WinPhone is Battlelog (http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/, normal version, not mobile).
If it loads at all, allow me to log in and withstand not crashing more than a few seconds is good. Opera page does not load BL at all.
Rendering engine is still ancient and bad, pages look awful.
Despite my best intentions, as a user of Opera on the PC for more than 10 years still have to use these pseuo-crashing-every-few-minutes-browsers like Surfy, UC Browser etc. -

A download with opera mini 8.0.1.7 does not save a file with data on the phone. But it is a file with 0 kb that can not be used. I can transfer it to another directory but in the ms 'files' app it stays without data. A jpg with 0 kb can not be seen, An mp3 without content can not be heard.
I'm using a Lumia Icon 929 -

On this page the url to the sound file saves a file with no data.
When I click on the corresponding picture. I can save it. When I try to display it using the ms 'files' app it is not possible because it says 0 KB. -

Answering to bass305:
No back/forward button No opera link No option for disable remember passwords on all sites No option for change quality images Power supply for download files Can't browse because only appear yellow box on link Tab switch is annoying, Add option for change like old style or on list viewNever used back/forward button, return function from the phone is enough. Never used opera link. Passwords are remembered normally by web pages. Quality image is fine as soon it's maximum quality. Need of Power supply for download files could be an issue. Very few web pages are'nt accessible. I'm delighted with new design.
Answering to vigneshlin:
Browser is a bit more buggy than previous one Much slower in browsing Font is too small even on large setting Image quality doesn't change Tamil fonts not display properly. about:config not opening.Browser is more stable, but sometimes app closes suddenly. IT IS TRUE, IT IS SLOWER, but I expect that's going to be fixed in the future. For fonts, large text size setting is perfect. Image quality is OK as soon as it's the maximum quality. I don't use tamil fonts, just regular english-spanish keyboard. Config is not so extended as before, to me it's OK, best setting is Single Column View.

Could you give a couple of examples of places (or use cases) that you see it is slower than the previous version?
