Opera was my first browser until I found Boat which I've grown fond of. Thanks for the tip on the update. It looks like it is time to revisit Opera.
yes you're completely rightwhat is Opera Next beta? what are new features or difference from opera mobile on android? I might check it out.
edit: seems like its just a new opera mini. opera mini usually doesn't have flash support. I saw opera mini next. is that the one you talking about?
Really fast and good to get flash support.
And I think Opera Mobile is the only browser that you can use the little search button on XDA.
On other browsers the search box disappear when you try to enter text.. In Opera the search box works like on the computer.

I have been lucky enough to have no problems until now with my Prime or the apps on it.
Unfortunately this update has made my Opera Mobile unusable. Within three minutes it freezes, usually after I've clicked on a link.
I've restarted the tablet to no avail. Will uninstall and reinstall Opera now.
Update: After reinstall the freezes continue, this time even sooner. Anyway, this problem along with their new permissions makes it an easy choice for me. I'm looking for something to replace it. Currently using Dolphin HD but keeping my options open.
I'm also getting crashes when I switch from full screen to minimizing when I stream Hulu. Same thing happens in ICS+ But it is super snappy! Question what does the Opera Turbo thing do? Should I have that enabled?
