Would love to see Opera admx support for Windows enterprise deployments. This would enable Opera to be deployed in an enterprise environment.

Ain't stared but feels like a sticky thread.

When creating your Gravatar account, be sure to use the same email address you used to open your Opera account. If you already have a Gravatar account, you can add an additional email address (the one you've associated with Opera) to assign a new Gravatar in the Opera forums.

But if you use Gravatar with a mail address, you can be tracked and identified on other webpages, even if you want to be anonymous.

As we all know lot of big smartphone manufacturers are using AMOLED displays in their flagship devices and also some other, smaller brands are following the trend. That trend is also slowly coming to Windows tablets, with Samsung being a leader in that area with their Galaxy TabPro S, 12'' Windows 10 flagship tablet, MS Surface pro 4 competitor. This year they are releasing updated model. To make long story short, hex black color (#000000) pixels on AMOLED screen are turned off, thus they don't use battery at all. Other dark pixels, if they are not hex black are not turned off but they also save a lot of battery. Darker the color, bigger the battery savings. Because of that I have following requests: (please note that screenshots used are from smartphone browsers, but the idea and meaning of written is same for Windows browsers)

• inverted colors display
  This is by far most important feature in order to save battery while surfing, and it also improves visibility outdoors without increasing brightness. Most webpages have white background and black text, and by using this feature it automatically invert colors meaning we would have white text on black backgorund. Here: http://imgur.com/a/R16Dp you can see webpage opened in Lightning Browser in inverted colors mode, it is "smart" enough not to invert photos or videos. Huge battery savings there.

• AMOLED skin
  Lot of mobile browsers has this and I think Windows Opera should have it too. Please take a look here: http://imgur.com/a/gJKyd - this is Puffin browsers dark theme, Lightning browser AMOLED theme is almost identical. Dark grey adress bar background and little bit lighter grey for url/search letters. Actually when you are typing letters are white so that you can clearly see, and when you hit enter they become grey. Everything else is hex black color (#000000). So much better on eyes and battery too. Ok, this is example from mobile browser but still, AMOLED theme should have hex black bar (all of them hex black, menu, controls, bookmarks), and dark gray background address bar and little bit lighter grey for url/search letters.

Those 2 suggestions combined, could save up to 30% battery while surfing. There are not so many AMOLED tablets, that is true. But Samsung flagship is there, and every Samsung flagship tablet is going to be AMOLED, and I am sure more and more manufacturers will follow.

Thanks!

Is there any way to customise the location of the "X" icon to close a tab? I'm coming from Firefox where it's on the right and now it's on the left I keep accidentally closing my tabs. Is there any setting to change this?

Ok, I'm starting to like Opera, and I'll become my default browser only if I can find a way, to remove that disgusting Google search bar inside the Speed Dial page. I just don't like it, is useless, unnecessary, and takes a lot of space.

How do I remove it? Thanks for read me.

I support this. Pull down to refresh is not a feature I need, and it triggers when I don't want it to way too much.

I'm with mb on this one. I've added your suggestion in the Suggestion Box since I was unable to find where you did this on June 3rd.

kc0886... just scroll down from the Overview to the Suggestion box and you'll find the thread there.

on chrome just tap it in adress bar and change option
chrome://flags/#disable-pull-to-refresh-effect
but opera block lot of flags

Check out the "File System" folder there. Opera happen to keep recently downloaded files there (why the heck for!?) and it doesn't clean it up with "Clear browser data" button.

When a new version is be?

Hello, When Android starts, some apps have a line of code telling Android to start after boot. This helps on faster app launching. As for it sending Network Data, It might be retrieving data for the news feed and/or looking for sites that support notifications IF you have a site that does so like Facebook. If you're worried, you can use Opera max and block Opera from using the Network on Mobile Data.

If you have any questions, please respond back. (I am not an Opera employee, but a user)

@ornelien

a long tap on the input field offers to add the search engine to the selection list. works in most cases, not with ixquick/startpage.

no permanent selection in mini (yet), opera4android only just recently got this feature in the 37.2 beta version.

you could leave a note about this in the suggestion box below, other users might come forward to support you.

These are the clickbait ads that appear at the bottom of news sites, etc. They are THE most worthless clutter on the web and your ad blocker doesn't block them.

Maybe they are whitelisted. Then give us the option to override whitelisted ads.

Love your browsers. Use them on my Linux desktops, but I'm going back to Samsung browser + AdGuard until you blacklist Taboola and Outbrain ads.

If that option isn't available in your version of Opera, simply hit the Opera button on top left and change the zoom. I have to set mine at 90% to get all seven columns. It also does not affect other tabs, just the speeddial page. Also, future upgrades and deleting history settings seems to reset back to 100% so you'll have to change it again if you suddenly notice that it's wonky.

windows phone market share is now below 0.3%.
microsoft closed down the phone production, selling it's "nokia" brand to foxconn.
so yeah, you could say win fon is now quite dead, it just doesn't smell funny yet...

@arkydon:
try killing the news forcefeed, avoid facebook.

Settings>Advanced>Start page content "Speed Dial only"

6% here.

yeah, right.
:rolleyes:

Have they made any progress on this? I lost a long forum reply the other day to pull down to refresh!

It's really sad that you can't change your search engine on speed dial. I know that not everyone can respect Google search or Yandex for the Russians... but you can still use the omnibox.
