How do I delete only cookies and/or cache without also deleting all open tabs and browser history?
It is very frustrating that this can not be done separately.

Has anyone figured out a way to configure Opera for Android to search Google in your specific country (.CA in my case) as opposed to the default US (.com)?
Since Opera doesn't use the Canadian version for me, search results are not as accurate.
I realize you can add search engines, but that doesn't solve the problem.
It is alarming that the Opera team chose to discard previous topics regarding issues and problems, feedback etc. for Opera Mobile when migrating to the new forums.
Tons of messages with wishlists, pleases for fixing of longstanding bugs, etc. have all been removed and are no longer present.
These old postings contained valuable information with regards to what users wanted most and which things they were most desperate to see fixed. Given that many bugs that cause serious annoyance on a regular basis to users never get fixed, combined with the removal of all related postings on those subjects, it would seem that the Opera team still has not learned how to care what the users really want and need - something I have long seen as an ongoing problem. I see the culture has not changed. What a shame.
What would be useful about these posts? If they were confirmed bugs or popular requests then they already have read it and noted elsewhere. The correct place to report bugs is in the bug report wizard, not in the forums.
They were useful because it allowed people to add their voices to the bugs which were affecting them. Given that sending bug reports doesn't seem to get them fixed month after month after month, having an ongoing thread where people could add their name to the pile of those wanting it fixed might have gotten the point across that it was indeed something Opera should get taken care of. Unfortunately there are some negative users on the forums who seem to respond to every topic and have something to say about any type of complaint against Opera, so I wouldn't expect any longstanding issues to be fixed anytime soon if that's the sort of attitude that prevails here. What a shame, because Opera is already a wonderful Android browser. I can only imagine how awesome it would be if some of the reported bugs were taken more seriously.
This will be my last comment on this subject, since it's clearly still a waste of time to hope for glaring issues to actually get fixed.
To anyone reading this who notices bugs or usability issues in Opera: SEND well written BUG REPORTS to the Oopera team.
"Various improvements to search feature", such as?
Are all of the previous bugs present?
Such as, the page changing position numerous times during loading so that I can't zoom and read before it's completely loaded? (Which was not an issue on Opera Mobile Classic).
How about double tap to zoom and wrap text?
Is that still broken too, or does it now wrap text correctly as it did in Opera Mobile Classic?
How about when you try to pan or zoom certain popup windows, and Opera keeps resetting the position of the window so that you can't actually access it? Is that problem still present?
I could go on and on.
It is very disappointing to see release after release with the same usability bugs present and never getting fixed, even though I know for a fact they have been reported.
I will say that I am very happy to be able to choose the UI layout in the most recent version.
That is one positive change that was extremely welcome!

I have noticed many postings and previous discussions (from English only) forums are now gone as well.
In fact, many complaints and requests for help with Opera problems which were posted are also gone.
It seems that, combined with bugs being ignored and never fixed, Opera support is simply not interested in what we think or want.

It seems you removed the option to relocate the toolbar to the bottom in the new version. It's still available on my phone but not the tablet. I really hope you bring it back. Its that option that really sets opera apart for me.
I also noticed there is no longer a way to preview all open tabs. This is really a regress in funtionality.
I agree.
These two changes have removed the two things I loved the most about Opera for Android over all other browsers.
What a disappointment.
