Is split screen already enabled in this version? I couldn’t figure it out.

Definitely the last post from my side about this matter. It's an issue caused by syncing options. So it may be related to a "My Flow" connection that didn't work or being logged out from your Opera account.

For me, logging in again didn't solve this problem though. But by accident I found a solution that has worked for me so far on different machines, either with Windows or Mac:

Just deinstall Opera and make sure you keep your personal browser data and not erase it! Then just reinstall Opera again. And by whatever way there you'll see the dissappeared favicons in the address bar again.

It's a workaround as it shouldn't happen at all. But so far this has brought it all back. Good luck with it!

Opera has been updated nearly two weeks ago. Since then to my knowledge two severe Chromium issues had to been addressed and they were in all major Chromium built browsers. I doubt they were fixed by Opera in advance, were they?
Even tiny Vivaldi seem to be quicker in fixing issues like that. I just Wonder.

@macfly1987 Have you tried Vivaldi? It's mainly what Opera used to be. And it has all the synchronization options that are missing in Opera now.

@macfly1987 said in Introducing Opera One for iOS: a fresh take on mobile browsing:

@leuchtfeuer812: I don't agree with you. After all, synchronization and Flow are two different functions. You can use them separately. If you don't want to, you don't have to use synchronization.

That's not quite true, actually. Flow doesn't only sync items in the Flow part but also recently opened websites and although I'm not quite sure some further elements. But it's not a full blown sync feature in the normal sense, I agree.

I think sync on iOS is the most wanted feature but for whatever reason they don't implement it. Heck, even Vivaldi offers it. So if you really rely on that you should consider switching to another browser, Safari maybe as you're an iOS user.

Only speaking for myself, I don't like sync in Firefox, Chrome or Vivaldi either. And Safari is ruled out by the fact that it's not available on Windows and Android.

@macfly1987 If you want that, there are certainly better options like Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi or Safari itself.
I prefer the way Opera on iOS syncs and that it keeps my homepage clean and uncluttered by bookmarks.
When you log into your Opera account and use the Flow feature you'll at least have some synchronization options.
And you can always go to sync.opera.com to see your data.

I realized that Aria stops answering right before the final words and it's stuck. I never noticed this on previous versions but seems to be a relatively new bug.

I‘ve run into different situations, where Aria in answering a prompt stops in the middle, rather keeps on hanging. Repeating the request doesn’t help either. So, what‘s the clue?

I have the add: It’s not related to Opera‘s adblocker. Disabling doesn’t change a thing.

I use DuckDuckGo as my prefered search engine, on almost any device.
But only Opera on iOS gives me bad results, when I‘m looking up news on a certain search query.
Often I get aggregated news results from MSN in DuckDuckGo. That’s happen to be with every second or third result and it‘s typical for DDG.
But in Opera on iOS clicking on these links don’t get me to the particular news item, but to the MSN startpage.
That doesn’t happen with neither Opera on desktop nor on Android. It doesn’t even happen with any other browser. So normally I copy the link and paste it into Safari e.g. which then opens the expected news link on MSN.
Can anyone explain this behaviour?

@HermanBlinkhoven It hasn‘t happened on my Windows laptop so far. It’s still undetected. But on my MacBook it is. Same version of Opera and same settings.

Opera's adblocker is being detected on YT now - at least for me. YouTube says, I'm being blocked either as long as don't disable the blocker or as long as I'm going to pay for Premium. First time for me now. So far Opera has filtered out the ads very reliably.

I might be too insisting on this, but I can't believe there's nobody else having this issue (sorry for the German UI in the screenshots). This is my setting:

And this is what I see:

As you notice, I don't see "top sites", although I've enabled them.

I've been using Opera for more than two years now, after having used it back in the day. Since then I've used Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi and now Opera again.
It's come a long way since then and it's quite different to what it once was.

But I appreciate so much in their desktop app that I'm not gonna switch any time soon.
I like the design and rely heavily on features like Workspaces, PiP, Ad- and Trackingblocking, Sidebar, Screenshot-Tool, AI, Flow and quite a lot more.
Probably it's far from perfect but it does the job for me, even more so.
I like the sleek design of it's iOS-apps and I appreciate their adblocker especially.
I think the Android-app is very sophisticated, good-looking as well and also full of nice-to-have features.

I'm sure, you're going strong in the future. Thank you for offering these great browsers.

And there it is again: I connected my Android tablet via My Flow and favorite websites disappeared from the address bar. Only "last searches" and "recently closed tabs" are shown. Very mysterious though.

It has in all probability to do with sync. I had issues with Flow on my MacBook. So, I signed out and logged in again. Flow was going well afterwards, but „favourite websites“ didn’t launch again. A totally fresh install brought it back.
Not very pleasant I think. But that seems to be the way it is.

@vectorglobe Das passiert, wenn ich bei Yahoo auf die drei Punkte klicke:

Sonst lässt sich nichts ändern. Habe ein MacBook.

@vectorglobe Standardsuchmaschinen kann man m.W. schon lange nicht mehr in Opera löschen. Und auch keine neue als Standardsuchmaschine hinzufügen.

@david27 Yes, hardly any on iOS, but some elements still. I don’t bother actually, it‘s what I expect from a browser for a phone.

I expect if I'm on my phone and suddenly need to access a webpage I saw weeks ago on PC, to be able to search my history for it and do it. I want to have all my favorites synced, instead of having to manually add everything on my phone. That's not too much to ask.

You should be happy to go to sync.opera.com in such a case.
