It doesn’t make me want me to even try any new version of Opera on mobile, and looking at the many complaints on the Opera forums, I am sure many others will be gradually put off and seek another option. Maybe the PC version is far more stable, but no matter how many updates I get, how many ‘back to factory’ resets I do, Opera is and probably always will be unstable.

And as I now use Chrome (Beta) on Android, which also introduces data compression, having my bookmarks and history synced and passwords etc is actually even better than Opera Link so I am now trying to get used to having Chrome as my default browser on my iMac, MacBook Air and ancient Windows netbook.

As more people get Android devices, I suspect that no matter what Opera does, more and more people will simply stick with Chrome as installed by default, and then switch their other devices to Chrome.

What I will miss is the awesome speed dials feature, and even the notes (although I should really have moved all of these to Evernote years ago!).
