What power users?

Any power users that used Opera for that aspect are still using v12, which is unaffected by this, entirely; and no power user would use the chromium fork they put out with v15 and upwards, because all it offers is a dearth of features.

I became a huge fan of Opera Mobile in the last few months. It's the only browser that feels fast on my Android device and I'm actually a fan of the proxy as well as the possibility to block ads and omit images. It is a godsend for the notoriously small german data packages. I'm not checking my mail with it but it's great for a fast Google search here and there.
