@miyukiwork That's right! We know that but it confuses users the way it acts, resulting lost files.
A warning should help because, I repeat, browsers should not delete downloaded files but only download history.
Anyway, downloaded files should not be considered as "browsing data".
You may suggest that to developers. Thanks!
Hello,
I always use Opera on my Android 6.0.1 smartphone and I'm very satisfied!
Everything's fine and Opera seems to be fairly the finest browser for this device.
Everything except one: Opera connects to test server every 6-8 hours even if "FORCE STOP" has been applied.
Is it possible to stop this? Or else, is it possible for a user to have complete control of Opera?
Just as it used to be...
Thank you! Regards!

Test server? : 82.145.21.121:443 am4-lvs-test.osp.opera.software
Force stop? : Settings > Apps > Opera => Uninstall & Force stop buttons.
My firewall reports that Opera tries to connect every 6-8 hours.
I "Force stop" Opera but after those hours I always find Opera active.
That means, Opera opens itself just to connect to, ignoring user's command (Force stop).
This issue started after recent releases. There wasn't in the past.
Thanks for your attention!
@53north Don't worry! It's a typical warning when "Google Play" is disabled. Those notifications can be easily disabled, too.
Update Opera by downloading latest release from official site, then install it without previous version uninstall.
Since Google wants our phone numbers, we do not trust it!
Seven days after 59 release and official link does not work. Does it mean something?
Should we look for it in unofficial (dangerous) places...?
That would be meant, at least to me, the end of use of Opera.

... Typing "gmail.com" in the address bar is landing me onto:-
https://www.google.com/intl/en-GB/gmail/about/#
...& the resulting page is not responding to even repeated taps on either of these - sign-in, for work, get gmail ...?? ...
Here's what happens, on typing "gmail.com" in address bar.
It goes to... :
...the same address as yours, "https://www.google.com/intl/en-GB/gmail/about/#", and works fine.
Google is also my default search engine and I have Ad-block ON, fully with no exceptions, too.
Typing "gmail.com" in search field of Opera home page, it goes directly to Gmail Sign in page.

@enpow Unfortunately, there is no restore. Kindly, read above previous posts.
To avoid that on clearing browsing data, do not select "Downloads" checkbox, which by default is unchecked.
Let's hope developers will fix that...

...we would like to ask you to check. Can you go to O menu, ...then confirm your download location? ... can you let us know where you selected?
@miyukiwork I cannot understand why you ask all those questions while a simple test can show what happens.
Wherever a downloaded by Opera file has been saved, Settings/Clear browsing data.../Advanced/Downloads(checked)/Clear data command, is going to permanently delete that file(s) w/o any warning.
Browsers, by default, do not delete downloaded files, only download history. Of course, you have to check Downloads item first, for the file(s) to be deleted and that item is unchecked by default.

"Clear private data" is showcasing our REAL downloads to be removed completely from the respective folder ! ..??
You should target >> "download history" & not the actual downloads !
Pl look into & introduce the necessary amends.
@miyukiwork
I can confirm that and agree. Or else, at the very least, there must be a warning.

Thinking is not enough...
Opera is a very configurable browser -that's why I/we prefer it- so, you may go to Opera Settings and see if you can do something about your issue which [btw] is not mine too (v. 49 ...133821).
