Hmm, but you do know that in opera wll traffic goes over their server, they dont even have to send your history back to them, they know it before you do...

Hmm, still a shame dolphin is encumbered by such stuff, as the performance of latest version was just amazing, it is horrible to use something else... testing miren browser atm, ui comes close to dolphin but just isn't it, but when it comes to speed it brings pee to my eyes... maxxon i could not get warm with at all, Firefox is far from complete in my eyes so if anyone has an idea of a good alternative, please speak out...

Thanks for this, i just added mywebzines.com to blacklist through Adway
Actually, I don't think that will do it.

OP said that the requests are going to en.mywebzines.com. That looks like a different IP from mywebzines.com. I think you'd need to add en.mywebzines.com.

I switched from Dolphin after that update. Not for this reason, but because Dolphin crashed frequently and slowed down to a crawl. Downloading files would take twice as long, more than two tabs and the app would freeze. Other browsers worked just fine, so I knew it was the app

Now I know why, and I also know not to go back to it. Thanks for the info.
