Can't speak for the Nokia 2 but I find Opera on my Nokia 6.1 is just as fast as on my Lenovo tablet

I am using Opera Android and also am having problem with sync not working.
I have installed Opera on a new device and cannot acces speed dial and bookmark data on other devices to sync.
Logging in to sync opera.com shows nothing is being stored.
Is there a problem with opera's servers or not?

I suppose it's a feature, not a bug (sigh !!).

But I think I prefer it the way it was when it would auto hide.
A useful feature would be to add a switch to allow the use to auto hide the tab bar or not.

I agree, bring back auto hide of the tab bar.

On small screens real estate is too valuable to be taken by a tab bar when it would be better scrolled out of the way.

Even better add a switch to the settings menu to allow auto hide or not.
Plenty of browsers less noteworthy than Opera allow this function.
