Major Highlights of the Week

Sync Issues
Users are unable to sync their data, such as bookmarks, between iOS and other platforms, which is a basic feature expected in modern browsers. This lack of synchronization leads to frustration and drives users to switch to competitors.
It's insane that there is no way to sign into my Opera account in order to sync my bookmarks, etc. on iOS while I’m able to log in on desktop and Android.
VPN Ineffectiveness
The built-in VPN fails to mask users' locations effectively, leading to privacy concerns and comparisons with other browsers that perform better in this regard. Users expect a reliable VPN service to ensure their online anonymity.
Kept my exact location on even with VPN activated; my Safari browser did a better job.
Ad Blocker Failure
Despite enabling the ad blocker, users continue to experience ads and pop-ups, which diminishes the browsing experience and questions the reliability of the feature. This inconsistency leads to dissatisfaction and potential loss of users.
I turned VPN on, private mode on, and adblock on, and I still get ads every time I play a game.
Search Bar Lag
The latest update has introduced significant lag in the search bar, making it nearly unusable and forcing users to revert to other browsers. This performance issue is critical as it directly impacts the core functionality of web browsing.
After the last update, my Opera search/url bar is extremely slow when typing.
Data Loss on Update
Updates have resulted in the random deletion of user data, causing inconvenience and loss of trust in the app's reliability. Users expect their data to be preserved and accessible post-update.
Randomly deleted everything on update.
Flow Connection Errors
Users face persistent issues connecting the Flow feature between mobile and desktop versions, despite following instructions. This long-standing bug hinders seamless cross-device functionality.
Could not get Flow to connect to desktop Opera, tried scanning the QR code several times, but it would always error out.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Was loving this browser, I just transferred back to iOS and was hopeful for a sync option. Not on iOS it seems. Is that intentional? I don’t understand why? Back to Brave browser then.

Could not get Flow to connect to desktop Opera. Tried scanning the QR code several times, but it would always error out. Checked the Opera Forum and it looks like this bug has been around for years. Going back to Brave for now.

It's insane that there is no way to sign into my Opera account in order to sync my bookmarks, etc. on iOS while I’m able to log in on desktop and Android. I’m rating 2 stars for leaving out such a basic feature. If this issue is fixed, I’ll increase the stars.
