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

And that's after the page has finished loading...

UncleSnr:
Use VIA browser, thank me later.

This browser make sense dieeeee

holuphisayor:
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.

God bless you well well

Do actual humans still use Opera Mini?? When Chrome and Firefox are available. What can fa??

SamoaJoe:
Opera Mini has become very useless and thrashy. What a nonsense they did to a once beautiful browser. Right now, the only thing I keep getting is ads upon upon ads! No good service.
Even it no longer preserves data like the Opera of old.

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.

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??

But the ad blocker doesn't block their own ads. I weak too cos I'm just too used to using Opera on my phone, it's like an addiction

Thank you bro, I just need a "light" browser that can replicate opera extreme mode and VIA browser does that perfectly by disabling javascript.

Well, d bigger these browsers get... d bigger deir workforce hence d bigger deir bills. Someone got to pay nd since its available 4 free...only way is tru advert. Using d old Opera, cannor come nd die.

very true. to make matters worse, the ads are the aggressive types of ads. very stubborn ads!(some will refuse to go until you restart the app) and that's why I've refused to upgrade to the latest version after my last woeful upgrade. but if you're using Android nougat 7.0 and above, you can break Opera mini's wings. go to settings and block notifications from the app.

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

It does, I've opened my gmail acc on chrome

I use the browser that came pre-installed on my phone "phx browser" it works better than chrome

melodyogonna:

which means I won't do the update I wanted to.

don't do any update for its a big mess wt 3 pop up in a second. It ll force u to download malware in error that ll damage ur device

I'm surprised anyone still uses Opera. The last time it featured in my phone was about 8 years ago

I don't know why you guys are wasting your time with opera mini have used alot of mobile browsers and UC browser still remains the best hands down, save itself the headaches and switch to UC browser

lustychima:
How can I go back to the previous version?

Seriously I have been battling this issue for months

Abi na where them wan get money pay simi?

If you're using android, uninstall the version you have now, search opera mini apk (and add the old version number of you know it), then download and install (not from Google play o)

The advert the websites does with Opera is just for Opera to direct people to their site. It has nothing to do with Opera Ads Blocker. They're already earning enough so they need Opera to just let people notice their blogs. Though ads blocking do affect them but not everyone do block ads.

opera mini is super annoying, when I first installed the new version, I thought my phone had virus cos the ads was just too much, keeps popping up every minute.. I had to uninstall it..

Now I use chrome.

UC Mini the best, small size 1.2mb.
No ads
No redirecting ad link
Disable speed mode to open web pages well

the best imho

I uninstalled opera mini the 5mins after installing it. I noticed the ads were abnormal and it was pointless using it since Chrome gives me everything i want, how i want it.

I think you can disable ads by modifying your data saving settings!....i love using Opera bcux of less data consumption in page openings and images quality compared to Chrome and others that consume much data. But for some official deals and work I use chrome to handle tinx.

No wonder....
