but don't block system apps otherwise you will be unable to get real time messages like whatsapp

If you just want to block data's for some apps you can use NoRoot data firewall

Right now if you use Opera mini 7.6.4 you will notice that there is much more publicity. I think they have done it to encourage us to move to the latest version of opera mini. Here I give you the reasons that make me stick with the old version.(excuse my bad English)

1- It really save data: the 7.6 version has the best compression method.
2-its has the best tab switcher. Personally I don't like the full screen tab switcher
3- better Compatibility with many websites: many websites that render correctly in mini 7 doesn't work at all in the new opera mini. Many times you must disable compression.
4- Remain open: opera mini 7 save all the tabs in the memory so that you don't have to reload a Web page. You just open mini 7 and you continue just where you left.
5- copy/paste facilities : just hold on any box to copy/paste text , a must.
6- manage my search engines simply
7- simple menu button

Those are the reasons that make me stick with the old opera mini version. Because when I really want to browse the real Web I'm in another browser

The first reason of existence for the mini version is to save data. But I think have focused on something else now

@olasia I'm in Congo Brazza and my carrier is MTN. @clautrajano they are losing many users I think because of these ads

Thanks @jackob11 thats what I was talking about. In the new mini you can paste but not copy. In the new OM if for example I restart the phone then when I come back to mini, it will reload all the opened pages when the old just read them in the memory.

The same ads are shown on the Android's opera mini version 7.6.4 . The ads are related to opera mini. and for me they are made to improve the using of the latest version of opera mini. the ads are shown on a full page before the real page you want to visit. They make the browsing very difficult. and sometimes you must reload the page and there are case you lose the page you want to load, at the place you get the page of ads. But the ads also encourage people to use for example uc mini. My case for example my carrier block the latest opera mini ( doesn't know the reason) so with the ads , it's better for me to use uc mini. the ads are server side, they can add it on the top of page instead of using a full page.

I Don't know about compression mechanism but What I can see is that using the old mini is much more economical with my data than the new mini in extreme mode. That make me think there is 2 different compression methods. For example opening yahoo mail is better in the old mini than in the old. Doesn't remember each time, but many times when I switched to the new mini I was trying to open a link in the new mini. it doesn't work then I have to open the same link in the old mini. This fact make me think about to stick with the old mini.

I have a BlackBerry 9860 and I use it sometimes but all the downloads stops at 0.9Mb and after that at 1.9Mb for a few seconds or a minute or two. I think it's a server issue. I use opera mini 8. Thanks

One example I remember and also I've tried today is http://www.frandroid.com/ which work in the old opera mini and not in the new.

Thanks for your help
