The new version of Opera browser for Android comes with huge features. Most importantly, it blocks GDPR cookie notifications.
Said Opera on its blog: Starting from today, users of the niche mobile browser can activate a setting which automatically hides cookie alert dialogs.
Streamlining your browser experience
With new privacy regulations, we have seen a noticeable increase of cookie and privacy dialogs in our browsers. Sometimes, I want to rip out my hair over all the checkboxes and accept buttons to press just to get to the content that matters!
We have extended on our ad blocker technology to optionally include the elimination of the vast majority of these cookie and privacy dialogs. Simply go into Settings > Ad blocking to find the option to enable this.
Browser startup options
We work hard on streamlining the browser experience for you, but we are all individuals. Most of you appreciate having a new tab open when you return to the browser after some time. For those of you that don’t appreciate this, we’ve added a setting that controls how Opera will reopen active tabs when you continue in the browser. You can also choose to close or preserve your open tabs when you exit the browser.
Open Opera how you want to with home screen shortcuts
If you are using a phone with Android version 7.1 or later, we have added home screen shortcuts to get you right into the product where you want to be. To create your own home screen shortcut, long tap on the Opera icon in your device’s home screen and tap to select, or long tap to create a permanent link to the desired function.
