This nicely highlights a problem I see with controlled app store models. I would like to give this a try but looking at reviews I feel like I might not like it (always visible address bar, bigger text). So I might want to downgrade which is not "allowed".
I am glad they let users move the navigation bar to the bottom, that is much easier to reach with one hand.
I wish there were site specific preferences like on the desktop version. Being able to block image loading for selected websites or forcing a css mode would greatly reduce my bandwidth costs and increase readability.
A great feature of Opera Mobile is that you can save pages for later offline reading.
- ippisl 13y agoI use opera mobile, downloaded a day ago. The address bar is hidden when you use scroll down, and i don't see any big text on page load. And regarding readability:i think opera is the best by far - because it has great reflow on zoom.
- joshsharp 13y agoI'm so glad they figured out how to get text reflow working with webkit. It was missing in the beta and I was ready to be very disappointed. Not sure why more people don't love it, to be honest.
- Sprint 13y agoJust noticed that about the address bar, works nicely indeed.
- ippisl 13y agoSorry for my bad recommendation: just now my opera mobile updated itself to 14.0 . 14.0 sucks.
- csulok 13y agoWell they did have Opera Beta with webkit as a separate app in the appstore for quite a while, that's a good solution for not-liking-thus-downgrading issue. Also, on the Play Store publishing page, there are features for beta and alpha testing, not sure what they do, but I feel they are relevant as well.
