Thanks. Looks neat. Will see a bit more of it. Of course the next question is, why they abandoned it, and reading this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3815491 My translation of this is they had bug which came from the libs which they couldnt fix.

Any particular reason it's not compatible with OnePlus One and Nexus 10 on Google Play? I get it if tablets aren't supported. I could get the apk but I was wondering... If testing is the reason, I can help.


I have no idea to be honest, Google Play does that sometimes.


Works fine in Montenegro...


The incompatibility with websites on old Opera was enough for me to temporarily switch to Chrome. Now I'm making freaking extensions which bring some Presto features to it so it's more usable until Opera makes some significant changes to the new browser...
