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
shane parnell
Despite the bad reviews.. I have never once had a problem with opera, even before the smart phone days. Its smaller than chrome and uses less ram which is more useful to me. I also prefer the layout, thanks devs

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
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.

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.

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 Despite the bad reviews..

Thanks for your compliment Shane. It means a lot to us. Stay connected with Opera. /Ravi 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
Opera March 7, 2016
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 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.

Opera February 24, 2016
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 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.
Opera March 7, 2016
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. 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.
Opera February 24, 2016
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!)
Opera March 22, 2016
Hey Nicholas. It's a bit of a hidden feature: long press any search field and you can add it as a search engine :) /Angela 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 My opera has been freezing. I go on and can only do anything for about 10 seconds and it freezes. Have to force shut it down to be able to open it again then the same thing happens. This has never happened before.
Opera March 22, 2016
Hi! sorry to hear that :( We will do some more testing. In case you haven't, try clear up cache under Opera in Applications Manager (in your android system). That will refresh the app and make it less buggy. Lemme know if you need more help /Angela Extension Why none works for developing extension for mobile browsers? Just today I,ve visited more than 20 sites trying to download mp3 music as they offer initialy but found pop up, offering suspicious. Apk. I mean it could be helpful to block such sites and prevent from appearing in search results, WOT extension is useful for rating but none of such is available for mobile browsers! Please, developers..do something!
Opera March 22, 2016
Hey Zohrab. Although we are not sure about developing extensions, we are working on a better adblocker :) Stay tuned! /Angela Better than I remember It good,real good, but there's just two crucial things keeping this from being my primary browser: 1) allow Opera to open links outside of Opera. For example, opening YouTube or Twitter links in their respective apps instead of in browser. 2) Chromecast support! PLEASE add Chromecast support!
Opera March 22, 2016
For many apps there will be options to open the link in the app, is there anyone you are specifically missing? For YouTube, I very much understand your suggestion. We would like for our users to all use the video compression system that helps them save data while watching video, and hence we keep it inside Opera. For 2), well sadly not up to us! /A Very slow and not responsive on moto g3 Very slow not not responsive for moto g3. New tab opening is not less to challege. While phone is running in very good condition.
Opera March 22, 2016
Sorry to hear that Ashish. We will investigate this issue in Moto G3. Keep connected with Opera. /Ravi past 2 updates are crap opera became way too laggy and as soon as i deleted it , my phone speed went up again , i like the layouy, but if u cant make a operational app im not gana keep it.
Opera March 22, 2016
Sorry to hear that Mateo. Yes, we received complaints from few other users as well, We are releasing an update with great performance. Hope to convert your two stars in to 5 stars. /Cheers, Ravi Nice browser for day-to-day use Pretty fast and lightweight. Low on resource consumption, can be a bit sluggish running multiple tabs though. It doesn't have all those fancy features of the Titans but frankly speaking they aren't needed for most of the tasks.
Opera March 23, 2016
Hey Ivan:) Thanks for the review :) /Rosi This webpage is not available Opera could not load the webpage because ......... took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your internet connection.
Opera March 22, 2016
Hey Gireesh, which website did you try to access? Can we have link to test? /Angela Problem I have one issue with this opera production, I downloaded audio songs through this version of opera, I can see my songs on opera and also play. But not saved on my phone. When I try to play them i can't find even one of them..... Please help me
Opera March 22, 2016
Thanks for reaching out Moha. Please check your phone settings that downloaded files goes to Phone or SD card. Happy to help. /Ravi Horrible performance since update Basically forced to hard reset my HTC one after simple websites send the app into a CPU lock-up situation. Pages load quickly, however the app goes unresponsive for a solid 10 seconds after displaying or refreshing a page. Instantly regret hitting the "update all" button and having this version overwrite a seemingly perfectly operating browser.
Opera March 22, 2016
Sorry to hear that Bryan. We will investigate this issue with Developers and make sure they fix it. Hope this helps. /Ravi 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.
Opera March 22, 2016
Super Nicholas! Thanks for supporting Opera! /Angela 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. 😢
I'm loving this browser! Next to Chrome, this is as good as it gets for me. The performance and user experience has been great. Of all the Chrome alternatives I tried (UC Browser, Dolphin, Firefox), it's been the most impressive on my G3. It's been a great Chrome substitute when needed.
Opera March 23, 2016
Thanks for the support Warren! :) /Rosi Review deleted
