Opera's rendering of the pages confuses me. Check for m.wpcentral.com in UC/IE and Opera mini. Apologies for not posting screenshots.

Instead of moving installed app to Phone storage, I would suggest to uninstall it first and then make a change in storage sense settings to store app in phone storage and then reinstall it. That may help!

Hi Guys, I recently posted a link to a work around I found in adding bing http://forums.windowscentral.com/wpcentral-com-news-discussion/309773-opera-mini-browser-beta-windows-phone-now-available.html#post2757105 as your default search engine which has been updated to my recent findings / experiences. In order to consolidate these, I'm going to double post here with some wording tweaks otherwise it wouldn't make sense:

According to Legoboyii (link below), you can add a search engine via a long press on the search bar - this was the first thing I tried and did not work for me also on various re installs (hence why you see the attached screenshots in guide linked above have no particular order :p). However I just re-installed again and confirm his method works, but appear to be suffering from stability issues as I cannot load any websites let alone reload bing.com. Furthermore the search engine now defaults to Google.com upon restarting the app. When i posted the guide I tested it via cold boot & soft reset yet the app loaded with Bing as the default search engine.

To compound matters another re-install has resulted in the app now crashing on first start up therefore cannot get past the T & C screen to accept. This is truly a unstable build...

Edit: Re-installed, did a cold boot, app still crashes, soft reset and app still crashes before loading the T & S after another re-install. This is looking more and more like an alpha / nightly build to me lol...

Very disappointed ... Since upgrading to 8.1, IE is rubbish on my phone, so Ive gone to UC Browser which isn't great, so I was hoping Opera Mini would be a better option ...

Unfortunately after installing, it wont even open & crashes out straight away. ... very disapointed

It's a beta, not even 1.0 version.

I know its a beta ... but it would be nice if it even started ...

I agree, I can't even get the silly app to load anymore.. instant crash on loading lol.

I'm surprised there are 43 reviews but there I can't see any reviews (currently rated at 3.1)... just get "No one has reviewed this yet", guess it is going to take time for the reviews to populate.

Today finally I got the mail from Opera with the link. There was an update available for the app. after installing the update, the app is opening properly and working.
