It would be quicker and easier if opera incorporates "single tap on a word" to highlight and initiate a search. This is included in chrome browser.

built in ad-blocker and battery saver is awesome. Windows 10 battery stats actually show that opera is using less than 1% even though i have 10 tabs open since last 48 hrs. chrome and firefox always hover around 25%.

Does opera for android support tracking protection and acceptable ads?

@leocg since google pushes out chrome updates almost monthly compared to opera for android. thats why i asked.

@leocg said in Opera for Android 47:

I guess the risk would be that you may not get security fixes from the newer versions.

@miyukiwork is there any security risk in using an older version of chromium ?

@miyukiwork will opera for android implement tracking protection in the future?

@kshitij this happens with chrome also, so nothing new.

chrome for android and firefox have a feature where links are opened inside a custom tab instead of opening the full browser. is this not supported in opera for android?

A search widget for opera mini would be very useful. Just like chrome for Android has a dedicated search widget. I can quickly initiate a search using the widget instead of opening the app and tapping several times. Thanks

I'm experiencing this too. All notifications are turned off yet I'm receiving annoying news articles.
