The AD's too many

SamoaJoe:
Opera Mini has become very useless and thrashy. What a nonsense to a once beautiful browser. Right now, the only thing I keep getting is ads upon upon ads! No good service.

I started noticing this rubbish ever since they made a Nigerian ambassador or something.

And I also think they opened an office in Nigeria. Anything that gets into the hands of A Nigerian becomes damaged irreparably.

You will open a page and go back to your android menu. If you try to open opera again to continue browsing, they will open a very intrusive and annoying ad. One time, it redirected me to a PORN SITE FOR PORNOGRAPHY. Worst comes to Worst, it starts playing a video Ad.

Another one is news notification. THEY will now be sending useless notifications to my phone. On daily basis, I get nothing less than 30 notifications from this useless browser. And the annoying thing is that the news they send is not even news worthy. They have started this sensational news reporting that is popular among blogs. One time, I saw a notification like "FULANI HERDSMAN GATEMAN KILL EMPLOYER IN EDO". I clicked the link and it turned out that it was just another useless Nigerian blog.

Another one is heavy usage of ram. Opera mini thag is known to minimize data and compress pages, now overloads media a lot. You will open a page and the coloring they will send will be more than the website added.

Even they have started click baitin with their Google search bar. Everytime, they will change my search bar to trendin topics in Nigeria so that I will search one of them and they will now redirect me to a useless blog that paid them for that news.

Below is the example of the google click baiting. Check out my search bar.

So Opera Mini started having issues because a Nigerian was made an ambassador?

Google Chrome doesn't open google mail?


Uncle, you need flogging

Better flogging

That 5secs wait though

You can disable it anyway

goto settings >> start page content

toggle off "NEWS" option

you could also click on news options and uncheck what you don't like to see.

please avoid it like a plague....a very annoying browser""

Never downloaded that cos i wonder what it would offer that Chrome doesn't.

AnonyNymous:

I just gave up on UC browser and I loveeee my experience with Chrome so far

I have Chrome, Firefox and UC Browser but UC remains my favourite because it doesn't reload if I had to swipe forth and back. Downloading speed is another factor. And there are settings to stop all the ads and UC news and notifications.
I only use Chrome and Firefox for what UC couldn't do. But Opera and mini version, I hate it.

Dem wn make me dey tink say my phone dey gt fault

Even it no longer preserves data like the Opera of old.

Funny enough, their ads will still be blocked by their in built ad blocker. Because if a website pays them to advertise it and I visit to check it... OPERA AD BLOCKER WILL STILL BLOCK ADS ON THAT SITE. Penny wise, Pound Foolish??

thank you for elaborating exactly the nonsense am facing for months now

If you really like opera like I do. Downloads opera 8.1 always ignore update. Sefini

Opera mini is so annoying. Instead of saving data, It does the opposite. You open a page, and next thing, it goes totally blank. You have to refresh again. And the ads, so many and very irritating.

master69:
me the stupid thing is even affecting me even on watsaap....i jst weak

could it be why my phone is always hanging? infact lemme uninstall the thing sharply.

These are peoples complaints on their website. These are Americans and Indians

salisy:
I am beginning to hate OM. It is frustrating when it regularly failed to open a web page and instead return an error asking you to either go back or retry

that's the most annoying part

Crystalom3:

but chrome doesnt open gmail, dont know if you had that experience too or its just me

It does. Chrome and Gmail are Google products. The web pages which come from links in your mail open in your Gmail. Click on the top right hand corner and open in Chrome. It will work.

If you really need to make use of Opera, download Version 20.X.XXXXX
The ads and other annoying features are not built into these versions.
It is the recent releases that have the whole shebang baked in.

And a point of note, Opera browser was sold to a Chinese consortium. Ever since this sale, annoying ads has been cropping up everywhere. A quick Google search of the details of this sale will point to the fact that these companies, especially Qihoo360, are known for their bad advert practices.
Furthermore, all data and traffic are now re-routed to China. Your browsing profile is "then used against you". The data saving feature is a gimmick at best.

If you need the Opera V20 apk file, check Apkmirror.com

Once installed, the ads will reduce drastically especially if you turn of Opera notifications from the Operamini settings.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to announce that I just uninstalled Opera Mini from my phone and never to use it on my next or ever in my life. I shall warn my unborn children about Opera Mini. It made me lose the love of my life.

johnbuck81:

Someone should send us the older version that doesn't have these adverts biko. Let me uninstall this one and be using baba chrome

Use adblock to restrict the advert

The things I've noticed that about this update.
1. If it's loading a page up-to 90% and theres an error whether the images didn't load completely, you can't view those pages and read the text.

2. The useless apps it brings for me to download is quite disheartening, I mean I want to load pages fast and save data

Opera should get it together before it turns to okpara mini

I've long uninstalled Opera Mini on my phone, very annoying adverts.

UncleSnr:
Use VIA browser, thank me later.

NO. Thanks

I am using the oldest version of opera mini 2012
