Updated 5 Q&As on Opera for Android

A couple of months ago, we introduced a fresh new look to Opera for Android. Today, thanks to your feedback, đ we are rolling out some tweaks to the user interface and new features. Here are some things you might be wondering about with your new-look browser:
âHow can I turn on data savings?â
When enabled, Opera will compress all webpages to load fewer megabytes, which will also make your browsing even faster.
Go to Settings â, located in the hamburger menu in the bottom-right corner of your screen, tap on Data savings, then tick the box beside Enable.
Once you turn this feature on, youâll be able to Block ads and choose the Image quality you want Opera to load in every webpage you visit.
âHow can I change my default search engine?â
Switching search engines is still the same in this version. Tap Operaâs search bar and then the Google icon to the left to display all various options. Tap on the one you prefer to make it the default.
In case you didnât notice, Opera now supports Voice search. Tap on the mic icon to the right of Operaâs search bar and say aloud what you want to search. It will immediately look up your inquiry using your preferred search engine.
âWhere can I find my offline pages, bookmarks, history and downloads?â
As you might have noticed, Operaâs user center is sporting a new icon design and a fresh coat of red paint. Tap on the hamburger button in the bottom-right corner of your screen to find your browsing history, bookmarks, saved pages and downloads.
âWhere can I sign in to sync bookmarks and tabs?â
Sync your bookmarks and tabs from your previous Opera browser and across your phones and computers. Tap on the hamburger button in the bottom-right corner of your screen, and choose Sign in. Log in with your Opera account, or create a new one, to start syncing.
To find your open tabs, go to the tab manager located on the bottom bar and tap on the cloud icon at the bottom-left corner of your screen.
âHow can I translate a website, add it to my Speed Dial, bookmark it or save it to read offline?â
When browsing a website, find all these features placed on the three-dots menu in the upper-right corner of your screen. Tap on it to choose between translating a website, adding it to your Speed Dial, bookmarking it, saving it for when you have no internet connection or even saving it to your Android home screen.
