@gabrielecandela This would be very useful!

@jackob11 Hi Jackob11, I'm a news editor for U.S. Opera Mini's newsfeed. By 'news notification' do you mean an article that was pushed to you, or the ads? If you have a screenshot or other example, let me know and I'll look into it.

@guilherm456 For articles in the newsfeed, you can report the individual content. If we notice a pattern from certain sources while moderating flags, we will likely ban the source.

For going to the website, I agree that would be an interesting tag to have in the URL bar if the site is considered unreliable or fake. Would be an interesting extension to make!

Hi @mwjeff !

My name is Jaron with our Opera Feednews team. Our process for selecting sources is currently internal (no form yet), but I have passed along your website. Thanks for letting us know!

Best,

Jaron

Hey Community,

I've seen some specific posts about upsetting ads popping up and inappropriate content. If you find these things, please send them to me so I can review and fix. This includes overtly sexual content, creepy stuff, graphic violence, fake news or hoaxes, inappropriate ad content, and anything with a good reason to not be in our feed.

Send a screenshot of the offending article, title, and source (if you don't mind –– makes it easier on me). I recognize our community has diverse opinions, so only include stuff that is pretty objectively upsetting, not just disagreeable. Happy to review as many as you find. Some stuff I can fix immediately, other stuff within a few days. Thanks!

Jaron

@leocg @jmpellizzer Trust what @leocg says is my advice we've got good mods. Once it is written on here, it open for people to discuss it, support it, potentially get it developed, etc. So you've done all you can for now

Hey all, related to any issues with advertisements, features like the lock screen news, news content, and stuff like that, feel free to let me know what's happening and I'll do my best to address it. Hmu if you've got any ideas or comments.

Thanks for the post @nsx . Hearing from our users is hopefully what will change our current ad practices, so I really appreciate your time in posting this. I've forwarded it to our discussion groups.

@jackob11 Yes, we found those articles. They're being removed right now. On a clean install, it displays only based on what others are clicking. Thanks!

There's a small coffee roasting company (Mother Lode Roasting Company) from my hometown in California I'm from that has the best bags of whole bean coffee. There's no reason for them to have this. No coffee growing, no coffee culture, not even that many coffee shops. But for some reason it's tasty. My favorite is their Sunrise Blend which is also what my dad drinks. Been having it from about age 12.

I store them unceremoniously on a shelf at room temperature, but do try to only grind my coffee just before use. Electric grinder. Then I use a cone filter to do a pour over into a steel insulated carafe I have. Tastes great, I can make it as strong as a I want, and stays hot for several hours while I'm working. I normally drink it black and my BCC (Blood Coffee Content) is at least a .16 at all times.

@sethjay042555 Hi Seth Jay, You can send your website to me and I'll review it for our source list. It may take some time to show up there, but I'll get the ball rolling.

@jackob11 Removing content like that is something we do each day, but it can take a little time. If you find any sources that are really bad (mostly bad content or offensive material) that would be very useful for me because we might be able to block it and solve the problem at the root. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Jackob.
