Crash-Prone... At least 10 minutes of looking on the Internet, I get a "Cannot display webpage, try reloading" error. And yes, this happens on any page.

Constant Startup Freeze!!! I used this browser for years but now it keeps freezing on my Note 3 and most of the time it doesn't open and freezes the whole phone until I clear cache....uninstalling
Minh Hoàng
Nice features I like that it rotates when watching full screen videos. It's also smoother than Chrome, but the privacy features are a little off compared to Firefox. It doesn't have quick tab switching, but the tab manager is easy to reach. The bottom panel is a very nice idea. It doesn't have extensions.

What is going on?? No issues ever until now. Will not load pages and/or locks up phone. Restarted phone numerous times. Galaxy Note 4

Must be getting paid to allow popups Doesn't block popups and the back buttom want back you out. Forces you to look ar the ad to close it.

The Best The best brower ive ever used on Android. It is the incredibly customizable, has different views taking advantage of larger or smaller screens. Erasing history and browsing data is lightning fast and Speed Dial though another name for favorites or bookmarks done in such a way that it is pure genius.

Sorry to let you go Qeda. Hope you will check the next update and review us again. In the meantime we will find out what is causing this issue and get a fix from our developers. /Ravi Nice features I like that it rotates when watching full screen videos.

Thanks for your detailed feedback and five stars Minh :) your support means a lot. We're looking at bringing more privacy/data features this year so keep your eyes peeled. It doesn't support extensions (for efficiency reasons) but if there are features you'd like to see let us know :) /Ruth What is going on?? No issues ever until now.

Hi Clinton, very sorry to hear that! Have you tried clearing the cache from your app manager? If that doesn't help we may need to try a fresh reinstall but make sure you have your bookmarks etc synced :) Hopefully get it sorted for you! /Ruth Must be getting paid to allow popups Doesn't block popups and the back buttom want back you out.

Sorry to hear that Gene. Can you please check in the settings - Block pop-up check box is checked ? Looking forward to hear from you back /Ravi The Best The best brower ive ever used on Android.

Woo! Thanks for your support Alex :D /Ruth Reveal download link Can you guys include show the download link whenever downloading files online. I prefer to copy the download link and paste it on a download manager, since my internet connection is not very stable.
Opera March 7, 2016
Thanks for the review Carl. Can you try long pressing the link to get the context menu (that has "copy link address"). Hope this helps.. /Ravi Using Opera I've never really used the browser but since I switched to it...it helps me save on my data which is a huge plus for me - being a data junkie!
Opera March 7, 2016
Thanks for your review Fatima. If you love opera's features, please give us five stars. Cheers, Ravi. Battery drain still present Battery drain issues still present after over a year (using more than the screen, taking the battery down over 25% in 30 minutes on a note 3? Cray cray) and across multiple devices and now the browser randomly hangs and requires a force close. This has become a horrible experience at this point, Opera. It's too bad because text reflow is a must have on mobile screens. You guys are too big for this. Get it together folks.
Opera February 23, 2016
Hey there, yes this sounds very strange! (and frustrating). I'm passing on your details to the teams now so we can chase this up for you. If you've made a bug report a bout this before and have the reference number please quote that to me here, it will help our investigations, thanks :) /Ruth It's okay Not customizable enough from the phone. For example, there is no search engine customization except when syncing with your desktop. Syncing, however, will not work. Also, search engine keywords do not work (g query for Google, w query for Wikipedia, as is default and also not customizable on desktop... but even if I can't change it on desktop, at least they are there!)
Citizen Why am I not able to change my search engine. Do I have to use the king of tracker&recorder non safe too dangerous lovely virus Google ??? That's a very akward thing for opera. There should be an option for changing your search engines.
Opera February 25, 2016
Sorry to hear that Adrian. Can you try tapping on the search engine icon in the keypad to change it ? you can also long tap on any search field to add that as a search engine. Hope this helps. /Ravi Excellent but too big Only flaw is that it's too big. It builds up data too fast, doesn't feel very smooth
Opera February 23, 2016
Thanks for the feedback :) Have you tried clearing the cache/memory or deleting unused bookmarks etc helps. The build up of heaftyness often comes from this kind of stuff so hopefully that would help but of course we'll keep working to improve here too /Ruth Loads Fast! I'm diggin it! I had some frustrations with the family filtering, but worked it out. I am enjoying the simplicity and quick loading ability of this browser.
Opera February 23, 2016
Woo! Thanks for your support and five stars :D /Ruth Ads in my notification bar? Just when you think they can't make a great product worse with more 'new' features.. They put ads on the notification bar for opera Max. What next subway ads?
Opera February 25, 2016
Sorry to hear that. But we do not send send ads in notification bar. could be from some other apps installed in your device. can you please uninstall and check that you still get those ads ? Looking forward to your reply. Happy to help. /Regards, Ravi Finally I've been frustrated with the way that the "big name" browsers would fail to wrap text on some web pages according to the size of my phone's display, making the reading of those pages almost possible. Then I discovered that Opera does it correctly, so it has become my browser of choice. Since then I've discovered several other features that make browsing with Opera much more convenient. Nice work! Thanks!
Opera February 23, 2016
Hi Kent, thanks for checking our Opera browser, really glad to hear you've enjoyed it so far! /Ruth 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. 😢
Stable and uncompromised While Firefox keeps crashing every 15 mins or so and Google Chrome has somehow been compramised by malicious adware, Opera suffers none of these deffects. Additionally, it can stablely load websites that otherwise would be patchy when accessed by aforementioned web browsers.
Soooper Browser It is a nice Browser. But i have faced a problem on Samsung Galaxy J7 which has loli pop 5.1 version of Android. There is a problem for downloading of fb videos which is shared as video link. Before this i had a Huawei Honor 3C, & i had never faced this problem before. I was very comfortable for dowloading these type of videos but now it only plays these videos. Please solve this problem. Thanks
We need a fix Please add an ability to rearrange the bookmarks as one can in the desktop application and kindly put an effort on trying to improve the app start-up time. EDIT: Crashes now very often, cant't use it anymore! Please fix it! Sony Xperia Z2 android 5.1.1
Opera March 7, 2016
Sorry to hear that Eetu. We will let you know the developers about the feature you are requesting (bookmarks rearranging). Can you Install a fresh copy of the app and see Its still crashing ? Looking forward to know more details about this crash. /Ravi Definitely recommend a try It's a very ergonomic browser, everything is where you want it to be and easy to use. To cut a long story short, i recommend checking it out, what do you have to lose. If there's a problem, put it in a review or just contact them, they have shown they reply to people to resolve any issues or implement new ideas. 1 thing I'd like to see is the choice of speed dial icons like on the desktop version.
Weak Privacy Settings Love the speed and UI; very elegant. BUT please give better privacy and security features such as the ability to make private browsing tab the default tab and/or auto-clear browsing data on exit. Even proxy settings would be welcomed and set it above Chrome and Firefox. Also, cannot customize search engines? Wat o_o? Allow some customizability. Right now, the app is way too restricted. However, it IS extremely fast.
Its OK I don't like how it automatically downloaded when I updated yo lollipop 5.0.2 because it also has chrome and Goole they all do the same thing why do i need so many browsers and I don't care for the look of it but it runs well. I just haven't found anything special about it. If anyone could enlighten me about some cool features that make this program different that would be nice. Other wise I'm going to root and delete it and for now I'll be disabling it.
Opera used to be great, but since the last update pages won't load, screen blacks out, screen whites out, random errors. I am so disappointed
Opera March 7, 2016
Sorry to hear that..We will try to look in to this issue (in Moto G) and possibly fix it in the future versions. Stay connected with Opera. /Cheers,Ravi Love the new version Very innovative and much more intuitive in design. Opera leads the way again. The font size in the new Discover is too tiny for me and can't be resized; having a little trouble with word wrap when resizing web sites. Otherwise, it's a marvelous reiteration of Opera. Edit: Pop ups have become a serious problem with this app with setting of POP UPS BLOCKED.
Adds appeared Recently on some sites it started forwarding me on add sites. Is this the Opera fault or the problem of the sites? With that other browser does not have this issue on same sites
Opera February 9, 2016
Hey Ernest, thanks for reporting this. Which sites is it happening on and what do the ads take you to? You can update your review here with details or email me at social-networks@opera.co if that's easier :) I'll check it out for you /Ruth Opera March 7, 2016
Oops. Sorry to hear that Xii.. We are continuously trying to add more features without compromising quality of the application. We will get your device (Galaxy Tab3) tested and make sure this doesn't happen in the future releases. Stay connected with Opera. /Cheers,Ravi Webpage loading problem Used to be a great app but this version suddenly makes my surfing very complicated. When i try to open a link it always show 'webpage is not available' then i always need to hit that refresh button to load the page. Btw my internet is good and tried other browser no problem so far.
