Totally agree with all here: I'm on 7.6.40125 & always ignore Opera Mini pestering me to update. That was mainly because the (deliberately) stupid update promotion never mentions if you'll lose all your bookmarks & saved pages, presumably because Opera refuses to provide a way to back them up, & they can't provide THAT because they've buried the bookmarks & saved pages deep in the phone's non-user (=anti user) system.

Then I saw on my wife's Opera Mini (more recent) that she can't turn off image loading! That's an absolutely vital feature coz of the terrible signal strength in rural UK (due to margaret thatcher refusing to grasp that COmmunication is an intrinsically CO-operative action, so we have 10 squabbling, overstretched networks here, instead of 1 that works).

Turning off images at the start of a session is actually a great way to block Opera's data allowance-wasting "interstitial" & "adsense" bulls**t, probably why they removed it.
