I also use and prefer stock browser for my daily use.
But I will say "different tools for different tasks". Some pages work better in Opera, some in stock, some in FF. My online banking works only in FF. For the page with public transport timetables in my home city I prefer Opera. And so on.

Ok I take back what I said previously after reading this. It's simply brilliant now, I'm looking for a reason to make it default now lol. Did U guys try turning the phone from vertical to horizonal and noticed how quick it turns? Awesome!! My only problem as I mentioned earlier, it's not very responsive when clicking on small items unless U zoom in. Other than that I love. Firefox should be terminated.

Updated to Opera Mobile 12.00.8, still can't open local image from 3rd party app (eg. FileBox). Tried uninstall & reinstall again, still the same. Only happens to me?

@kai_en, @dicksonleong8
I don't have this problem - just tested with Filebox. Opera is NOT default browser on my device though.

Re: Introduction to Opera Mobile Labs for N9
 
I don't have the issue too as Opera is NOT my default browser...Setting it to default gives me the same issue...This has been covered by orhn too as a bug caused by Opera Mobile...

Re: Introduction to Opera Mobile Labs for N9
 
Yes, I set Opera Mobile as my default browser before this. Now I set it back to Web but still unable to open local images. I even reboot my phone. So far the only way to fix this problem for me is uninstall it

There is a question about Youtube that has not been solved by the latest update to 12.0.08. If you access m.youtube.com using Opera and play a video, then on my device, it plays on a purple-themed native videoplayer that has a button on the bottom left that opens the video gallery. If you access the same site using the N9's native browser, then the video plays in a videoplayer with a deep electric blue theme of much higher playback quality.

Solving this and the bug mentioned in earlier posts re: viewing local images in, say, Filebox, would be great.

For me, I like the text reflow in Opera, since it gives you an easy way to adjust how large the text letters are. I also like the 360 degree orientation option. I'll try this new version for a couple of days and see how it goes.

It seems that stale mime-types are not removed properly when packages are upgraded or the default browser is changed.

Try the following: Delete the file /home/user/.local/share/applications/defaults.list then enter settings and select a default browser again.

Please report back if it resolves the issue or not.

Youtube serves different content to Opera and the native browser.

The page Opera receives contains RTSP video links that will be opened in the default video player on the phone.

The native browser receives a different page and the video player is part of the browser itself. I'm guessing it's HTML5 video but I have not investigated further.

In short, there is nothing to be done about it.

This worked like a charm as soon as I deleted the file and rebooted. Thanks!

For Terminal beginners, you just open terminal and type in:

cd /home/user/.local/share/applications/
rm defaults.list

Then just reboot your phone.

Ohrn, if we used a custom UA with Opera that identified our device as a Nokia N9, (1) would Youtube serve the HTML 5 version of the content to our devices and (2) would our phones recognize the content and access the HTML player to play it?

Also, I was wondering if a third party app like Cutetube, which accesses the HTML browser, could be cause for hope that Opera could use some similar strategy to create a solution?

True to my word, I have been using Opera as my default browser and I am quite impressed. My use case involves a lot of reading and browsing, so Opera's strengths are helpful, like the find-on-page function and the select a word and search function. Good work.

That wouldn't do much good since Opera doesn't support HTML5 video on the N9 and probably never will. It's way to much work to implement in a hobby project.

Err? No. Opening the RTSP links to the native browser will not help, the video quality will still be bad, if it works at all.

Re: Introduction to Opera Mobile Labs for N9
 
I did not update Opera Mobile as I wanted to keep the version with Harmattan VKB support (though incomplete and buggy, I know, but when you know it and have the choice to use it or not, that's OK), but is there a "Copy URL" in the context menu in the next versions? It would often be useful (to me at least).

Just learned today that Opera Mobile supports bookmarklet and unlike default browser it CAN be added to Bookmarks, not straight but doable though a bookmarking a random site and replace URL with the script.
behold, Inverted color mode using Darken !!

Code:

javascript:(function(){var%20newSS,%20styles='*%20{%20background:%20black%20!%20important;%20color:%20grey%20!important%20}%20:link,%20:link%20*%20{%20color:%20#0000EE%20!important%20}%20:visited,%20:visited%20*%20{%20color:%20#551A8B%20!important%20}';%20if(document.createStyleSheet)%20{%20document.createStyleSheet("javascript:'"+styles+"'");%20}%20else%20{%20newSS=document.createElement('link');%20newSS.rel='stylesheet';%20newSS.href='data:text/css,'+escape(styles);%20document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(newSS);%20}%20})();
Please consider adding possiblity to lock Opera orientation, so that I can use its portrait mode while lying down.

Hello,

I just noticed that when I am browsing the internet with Opera, the IP-address is not my own IP. The IP is located somehwere in Poland with the hostname "Opera Software Asa".

Previously I was wondering that why am I able to enter a website (piratebay) that is banned by the finnish internet providers with my mobile phone but not on my PC. Both devices were on same WLAN. Now I notice that it works with any internet connection but only in Opera and not with Firefox or stock browser.

Any ideas why is Opera doing this? Should we be worried because as far as I understand all the traffic is routed through Poland?

First off, thank you for your continued support of Maemo5 and Maemo6, dear Opera.

Yes I do.

Furthermore, I just found on wikipedia that this behaviour is the basic functionality of Opera Mini :) Not worried anymore!

Oh also if you use Opera Tab UI not from N9QT but from kuzmichov (spelling?) then you would need to replace the last part of that command: operamobile-tablet.desktop must be changed to operatab.desktop
