The iOS browser team is really excited about showing you what we have been working on the last few months. Today we are releasing a beta of a new browser for iOS.

The new browser concept we are releasing includes ideas and features from other Opera browsers:

• User-friendly and visual search
• Nice home screen with both favorites and recent sites, so you can quickly resume sessions
• Private mode directly from the home screen
• Improved tabs overview
• Improved security
• Visual bookmarks that can also be used as a reading list
• Data savings mode using Opera Turbo
• It’s really fast!

If you want to try out the new beta, head over to our sign-up page quickly, because there is a limit on how many users we can have. After signing up, wait for an email from TestFlight and follow the instructions. You need to have an iPad or iPhone running iOS 9.

Be aware that it will upgrade over your phone’s Opera Mini installation.

We are really looking forward to your feedback!

Hi,

We're terribly sorry you experienced this. Can you give us some more details about your iOS 10 upgrade, like:
Did you update over the air? Did you have little free space on your phone when you upgraded?
Did you get this dialog during upgrade? http://wpuploads.appadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/appdeleted.jpg

If you sync via iCloud, it's possible that icloud still has your speed dials. You can try to delete the app and reinstall it. Other than that I don't have any good advice, since app data is unavailable to normal users, there are no easy solutions...

Best of luck!

Looks like a new issue in iOS 9, and I have just fixed it. I'll make sure we'll include it in the next update. Nobody in our team uses a hardware keyboard, so that's why we didn't see this. Thanks for letting us know!

That's a very good idea, I'm putting it on the list of stuff to do. Thanks!

Hey lem729!

There is currently no way for Opera Coast to hook into the ad blocking system on iOS. Apple made that only available for Safari. We're considering what we should do with it though, so stay tuned.

On the other hand, I personally fear that most sites will in the future make it much more difficult to block ads for ad blockers since it is now part of Safari for iOS. There's going to be a lot of things happening in the ad blocking space the next year!

In Opera Coast, you have to scroll to the top to refresh the page. Luckily this is as easy as tapping the status bar with the clock on the top.

I don't understand the second question entirely. The easiest way to add a site to your home screen is by dragging it up from the dock: http://www.opera.com/help/coast/ios#new

If you want to set a specific icon for it, you can do that through the share menu on the bottom left. Look for an icon with a down arrow and 9 tiles. (It's only there when you don't have the site on your home screen). Hope this helps!

Hi,

Open recent sites and the page information pane: http://blog.operacoast.com/post/62235297398/yes-you-can-see-the-url-and-you-can-copy-links-in

When the "email cites the main website", I think the link is actually for the article even if the text doesn't say so, can you please test it by sending an email to yourself?

Hope that helps.

We're going to look at these problems and we're taking it very seriously. I've told a developer to start by looking at the sites that you have mentioned here, but also look a bit more generally that we issue too many warnings.

A couple of questions, which could speed up fixes:

• can you open the security pane and paste the contents (or a screenshot) the next time it happens?
• do you connect using hotspots or other similar types of connections where you have to log in to get internet access or how do you connect?

We have submitted a new version to the app store with fixes for these freezes in iOS 8.3. Hopefully it should be out this weekend. Sorry about the inconvenience!
