Not sure about Brower need help. I thought Opera was an independent Browser. I wanted to get as far away from Google as possible since the privacy violation made by the mandatory use of Google Assistant. I added Yahoo, Bing & Duck Duck Go. Not sure if this will help?
David Johnson
Thanks, Opera! I had been experiencing problems out of the blue with Chrome and location access for some of my favorite sites. Opera has no such issues! Thanks!

Accomodative apps At first I am using it .It's privileges are unlimited to help you from any malicious program. It also gives me to transfer of data as possible very high. I am very pleased for such helpful programs .Thanks.
William Whitaker
It just works. Simple as that it works. I dont have to search for the controls. or constantly looking in he help section to do simple thing's
deb patterson
How can you manage your tabs it opens a bunch just on one search. I don't think it's necessary plus it drives me crazy. I certainly can't use opera on my RCA which keeps saying tab limit
Clive Sutherland
Does what most decent browsers do It's okay. Im not wowed by browsers generally but I've had no negative issues / experiences with opera thus far

Hi Frances, thank you for your review. DuckDuckGo is definitely independent, I am not sure about Yahoo and Bing. But using DuckDuckGo will be sufficient for your privacy reasons! /Isabella Thanks, Opera! I had been experiencing problems out of the blue with Chrome and location access for some of my favorite sites. Opera has no such issues! Thanks!

Hey, glad to hear you like it. Thanks for the great review! /Rosi How can you manage your tabs it opens a bunch just on one search. I don't think it's necessary plus it drives me crazy. I certainly can't use opera on my RCA which keeps saying tab limit
Opera May 9, 2016
Hey Deb, I am really sorry to hear that! In the settings you can adjust wether you want new tabs to either open in the background or foreground. If this doesn't fix the problem. Please make sure to send us a bug report. /Rosi Does what most decent browsers do It's okay. Im not wowed by browsers generally but I've had no negative issues / experiences with opera thus far
Opera May 24, 2016
Hi Clive, good to hear! If something goes wrong along the way of testing or you feel like we deserve an extra star ;D You know where to find us :D /Isabella This was a nice, easy-to-use app, until they "improved" it. It's big, bulky. It's turned into a real pig. For newer phones- probably OK, but I'm still looking.
Opera May 4, 2016
Sorry to hear that Richard. Alternatively, you can use Opera Mini for Android, with AdBlocker embedded. Hoping to get a 5 star review from you. Cheers, Ravi Excellent App This app is brilliant for people who use a lot of mobile date. It has a thing where it severely reduces the amount if mobile date required to do things. It will take a 800mb movie and reduce its size to approx 3 to 4 hundred Mb. All without reducing the quality of the content. I only rated it 4 stars not because of any faults with the app but because every app has room to improve.
Opera May 23, 2016
Hi Patrick, thank you for your review and your support! :D Indeed, there is always room for improvement, if you have any idea, let us know! /Isabella Very poor update 1) Its very uncomfortable to use. 2) Text selection tool is of low standard as compare to earlier update. 3) Flash player not support 4) No shortcut for bookmarks, only speedial, history and discover available.
Opera May 25, 2016
Hi Vishvesh, thank you for your review! I will pass on your feedback, we appreciate it :) /Isabella Fast and safe and chinese One of those doesn't belong. Goodbye, dear Opera, you were the best mobile browser I could trust until money hungry assholes decided to sell you to the Chinese government for shekels. I've been using Opera since the days I had a freaking symbian nokia 5800 but now its time to uninstall and never look back. Sellouts
Opera May 11, 2016
Hi! Sorry to hear this. Nothing is set in stone yet.. Please let us know if you want to come back in the future and have questions about this :) /Isabella Great but needs ads blocked I came over from firefox because it was crashing every 5 minutes (I am the victim of a bug that's been topping their charts for over a year now). Opera seems great -- snappy, clean -- but if it's blocking ads, I'm not noticing it :(
Opera May 27, 2016
Hi Kate, great news! We're looking into bringing ad blocker to OFA as well. Stay tuned :D /Isabella Reinstalled on my Mobile. Waiting to give 5 stars when a built in ad blocker is provided soon. The annoying & irritating ads which hinder the browsing are "Unacceptable" and browsers must be capable of stopping it. The Desktop version of Opera stable with builtin adblocker is the Best ever browser I have ever used & thank you Opera for that "Excellent" version
Opera May 23, 2016
Hi Anwar thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear this, w are looking into more ad-block control on all of our devices, stay tuned! Edit: We're trying to get it up and running in the beginning of June, looking forward to seeing you back then! /Isabella Missing many options I've used Opera Mini for a long time because it has a lot of options missing from this full version. Mainly I'm looking to decreasing text size and full screen mode without status bar. Both available in Mini, not here. And now that opera:config has been removed, neither of these is possible. Thanks a lot. The only reason I still use this one is its the only version LastPass is fully compatible with.
Opera May 10, 2016
Hi Brad, thank you for your feedback. I get that this might be annoying, I will it down to the teams and hopefully they can do something with it! /Isabella A suggestion Hey guys, great update though I think the loading bar would be more clear if it were a different colour, say red? The grey bar is faint and not noticeable in most sites. When navigating through tabs it'll come in handy. Thanks.
Opera May 18, 2016
Hi Michael! Thank you for your feedback, I will let the teams know about this :) /Isabella why i can't avail the opera browsing promo in smart, it keeps on telling me that my balance is not enough though i have more than of what is required
Opera May 12, 2016
Hi Earskin, this sounds really strange. Is this on your mobile device? /Isabella Opera Rocks !! This is the best browser according to me .. Simple design no crap features as in UC Browser . Ad blocks really works for me .. Best for downloading videos n for using facebook ... I love this browser . 5 stars given ... Thnks opera team for such an excellent browser ... !!
Opera January 20, 2016
Hey. That's not something we have in plans for this year - trying to keep the browser compact and simple. But thanks for the suggestion. If you like Opera, pls give us ★★★★★! /Angela Best browser Finally a good update. The navigation between tabs is hugely improved, whoever thought it out is a master of UX. The browser is incredibly fast and snappy. Kudos, marvelous job!
Opera May 20, 2016
Wow. Thanks for the great feedback will pass it on to the master :) /Rosi Put adblock We need counter measure for ad infested site. I accept any ads as long it does not kill the content of the site.
Opera May 23, 2016
Hi Mohd, good news! We're looking into this, and it is coming soon if everything goes right :) Stay tuned! /Isabella Wow, the best in the world ! I have tried all kind of browser, im looking for better script support, tab panels in down, fastest, no ads, light, and i got it now.Opera is Perfect ! Thanks a lot.
Opera May 18, 2016
Hi Wawan! That is awesome to hear! We're so happy with happy users :) Thank you for your review and support /Isabella Strange... More basic than Opera Mini? Opera mini has haptic/vibrate feedback when long pressing a link, Mini has advanced settings, Mini has the popup that allows you to switch to a newly opened tab. None of these features are present in Opera Browser. It seems there are good features spread between this and Opera Mini, combined they would make a good browser, but independently they're not good enough.
Opera May 6, 2016
Hey! Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate it :) I'll make sure to pass this to the teams! /Isabella better ....than the most. And to the folks who post reviews claiming the "exit button & flash support & bookmarking were removed": why are you posting lies? 1 guy claims he was a fan and "even paid for Opera" on an old phone.... LIAR. It was always free. So, what's wrong with you trolls.
Opera April 28, 2016
Hi Dizzy, nice to have such good support on our side! Keep spreading the Opera love! /Isabella Solid and dependable Private browsing and not integrated with the Google advertising network so I can browse things of curiosity without seeing adds for them when I visit a site with Google advertising. Keeps my life sane. Thanks Opera, jeep up the good work.
Opera May 18, 2016
Hi Cronman, thank you for your review and support! We try to keep up the good work because of nice users like yourself! /Isabella Oh noooo Lags when opening and minimising. You can't go full screen minus the status bar. Also its very poor at keeping tabs loaded when switching tabs. Cmon guys, improve this app, it needs a massive overhaul!! Incredibly slow now, laggy, saved pages do not work properly. PLEASE ALLOW THIS APP TO WORK WITH SAMSUNG MULTI WINDOW!! Please sort it guys, this browser has so much potential, compared to others. The likes of Chrome, Dolphin, Firefox etc. 😢
Opera May 2, 2016
Hey, thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it a lot. Full screen is able on Opera Mini, but I will pass down to the teams that it is a wanted feature in OFA as well and we're looking in to ways around the reloading of tabs but for now try reducing amount of tabs open and close other apps running in background :) /Isabella Why? Why does the app need permission to access camera, mic, files, etc? You leave a good feedback and no one complaints but when you leave a back feedback and all of a sudden you are a troll?
Opera May 11, 2016
Hi :) The app use this information for example syncing contacts to Facebook or using your camera and photos for uploading pictures. You can find more information about our privacy settings here http://www.opera.com/privacy. Hope this helps. /Isabella Latest update to fix update worse You fix the tab switcher you broke on previous version by making the fix higher and harder to use. Wow. Talk about lying that you were listening to users. Time to find a new mobile browser. Opera user on PC and mobile since the first years. Crap browser that was once the best.
Opera April 4, 2016
Thanks for your feedback Jason. We are investigating the issue right now. /Ravi Like it's data saving Work quite well on my Asus Zen phone . Could be a bit faster but still all right. Some problems with refreshing the web pages.
Opera May 24, 2016
Hi Waldermar, thank you for your positive feedback! We're keeping an eye on speed and page refreshing issues :) /Isabella Not sure what happened Falls over some times when trying to c&p on a page, no pattern just sudden "oops!" Message. Also it seems to be using an incredible amount of battery. No change in usage from me, just constant drain. Not so great. Still got awesome text wrap though!
Opera November 30, 2015
Hey there! Thanks for getting in touch again. Is there a particular website that copy and paste doesn't seem to be working? /Angela newest update I miss the old STABLE Opera, when I could back out of a fullscreen video and not have half of the video off screen, now its more like chrome... also, I dislike how much you've polished this web browser, I miss the old black screen when switching/adding new tabs. I also miss the button that would show up to scroll all the way to the top or bottom of the screen
Opera April 21, 2016
Hi Jake, thank you for your feedback. I will make sure to forward it so we can take a look at these issues! /Isabella I love Opera Browser! The Opera Browser is full featured and fast. It does not use a lot of resources on my phone. I like the Tiles start up as it's very easy to see what sites you like to got to and and makes it very easy to navigate to them! Try it, you'll love it!
Opera May 6, 2016
Woohoo Chuck! Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot to us! If you have any questions in the future, you know where to find us! :D /Isabella My phone tells me I use Opera about 90 percent of the time. Thanks for solving the unstable text wrapping problem. I have got used to Opera's update by now and it seems to be the best browser for my Android phone. By far. I had to uninstall and reinstall it just now, and was really sorry to lose my carefully collected bookmarks. Hope you work out a solution for that. Like exporting and importing bookmarks from other browsers - if it is possible.
After almost three years since I last used Opera, I am finally back and happy with the package. I really like the functionality that, to me, feels neither overwhelming nor too stripped down. All the necessary functions are in. I just hope there won't be any painful transitions again when a watered down version of the browser makes me move away from it for three years. Speaking of functionality - what happened to the address bar at the bottom? That said, I am quite happy with the package although I still think Opera on the PC is a better browser compared to other PC browsers than Opera on mobile.
Opera May 11, 2016
Hey :D Thank you so much for your review and your support! Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of how to make the best of Opera now. We're still working on making improvements every day, I will pass your feedback to the teams. /Isabella Good bye... You imroved and it is useless now. We do not need a browser like another os. Yes I can use opera mini but why... lot of good browsers are out there.
Opera May 18, 2016
Hi Subhash, thank you for your review. Please let us know how we can improve opera for android. We want you to have a good experience as well :) /Isabella Downloads One can't download pictures from facebook on the browser. There is no option and no one from Opera seems concerned. And for some reason, it won't open some links from facebook, just blanks out and nothing. It can also be slow at times. Besides, that everything does feel nice.
Opera May 9, 2016
Hey Reagan, sorry to hear that, I will make sure to pass this one to our developers so they can look into it. how long have you been having this issue? /Rosi Opera lost its soul with chromium.It was for years one of my favourite browsers. Since a few updates ago opera start times are simply unnacceptable, simply too looooooooooong. Samsumg stock, firefox, just to give 2 examples are much much faster when they start. I waited for a few updates to see the problem fixed. The hero became a zero. And no, the problem is not the phone being old...
Opera May 11, 2016
Hey! Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear you've been having issues with speed, our developers are working hard on making improvements concerning the speed but it is a long process. I would say stay tuned, but you're already doing that! Keep faith in us :) /Isabella awesome..! i like this browser so much...very fast and fluent,and the web app feature is also cool ,hope you add more web apps soon....!
Opera May 20, 2016
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Will make sure to pass this on :) /Rosi Good but could be better I am using opera from like 5 years or more. It is one of the best browsers around,no doubt. But in the new age where every page containing 'n' number of different data ,i am sorry to say but it is lagging behind. I found out that in todays environment it is lagging behind from other browsers......
Opera May 9, 2016
Hey, sorry to hear that.Our team is always working on improving the browser as much as we an and we will continue doing so! Make sure to keep us posted if there are any changes occuring. /Rosi Improve the update procedure! Hi Rosi, Thanks for your response. Preserving settings, bookmarks, etc. on updates should not depend on an Opera account at all. But if so, users without an Opera account should be warned that they loose all data and customizations when updating. The current update procedure without such an warning is unacceptable - downgrading my rating to two stars - I hope you get and accept my point // Every time I get an update, all my previous settings and customizations are lost. @Opera: You can do better, right?
Opera May 3, 2016
Hey Fabi, I am sorry to hear that. Have you tried signing up for an Opera account? This should prevent you from loosing your settings after a new update:) Make sure to give us 5 stars if you like the App :) EDIT: I will make sure to pass this on as a feature request! Thank you for your feedback :) /Rosi Best browser I have ever used This is, hands down, the best browser that I have ever used. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. I do, however, think that the Speed Dials should be synchronized across all devices using the account. Rather than going through the menus to get to Speed Dials on other devices, I would like to be able to set a Speed Dial across all of my devices so that the same Speed Dial is the default between devices.
Opera May 20, 2016
Hey, first of all thanks for the great feedback! I will make sure to pass your request on to the team :) /Rosi Update is waste The moment i updatwd this app u seriously regrett because thw moment i try to switch pages my cell is restrting evrtym ples fix it or i have to uninstall it
Opera May 3, 2016
Hi Nanu, thank you for your feedback. We're looking in to ways around it but for now you could try reducing amount of tabs open and perhaps close other apps running in background. We're really sorry about this, stay tuned for possible updates! /Isabella Buggy These last two iterations are crap. Pages freeze, can't go back from tab rather must exit tabs. Go back two updates it worked much better. Your bug "fixes" moved you backwards.
Opera May 3, 2016
Hey Scott, sorry to hear that. Our developers are constantly working on improving the app. I hope you will be more satisfied with the next update. /Rosi Review deleted
