The browser is fast, responsive and loads web pages in a snap (definitely faster than IE11 Mobile). Every function is easy to find and just a few taps away (no settings are buried two or three menus deep). I am sure there are more bugs and kinks to work out but so far I am very impressed. When I click the arrow to change, the UI shows only the search engine currently selected and I cannot scroll up or down and select another.
Vivaldi, whose founder & current ceo used to be a co-founder and CEO of Opera in days long gone, is also a good browser for 'power users.' The issue people have with Opera is that a Chinese consortium owns a lot of the company, which they think is a cause for concern from a privacy. However, when I am in landscape mode I cannot choose a different search engine. Opera, in terms of usability, is actually a good browser. On a small screen like mine, landscape mode is a must when viewing some websites. While there should be a more intuitive way to add search engines like Bing than the method currently in play, there is a slight bug associated with choosing a search engine in landscape mode. I cannot for the life of me find a setting with which to toggle between mobile and desktop site modes.Ģ. As a result, it lacks some of Opera’s advanced features. But on my Lumia 635's 4.5" screen, it is no bueno for most sites. That sees Opera pulling ahead of Internet Explorer 8 (4.1 seconds), but it still lags behind Firefox 3.5b4 and Safari 4 beta, which took just 1.0 seconds and 0.8 seconds respectively. Opera Mini is a stripped-down version of the standard browser for mobile that’s designed for performance and saving data.
#OPERA BETA REVIEW INSTALL#
It seems like most sites want to load into their 'desktop' modes, which for some sites is fine and even preferred. DEB package for this release on the ftp servers, but you can download and/or install it from the Operas official repo.
One is just an annoyance, the other is a bug.ġ. However, there are a few things I have noticed. It is fast and responsive with some good settings. Already it has made such a good impression that I am thinking about using it regularly.
