Opera News: breaking & local

I can't post any comments any more 😭 I keep getting 'we need your consent' appearing and I can't find a way to make it go away. I think there needs to be a way to remove/minimize the bottom bar so I can press 'accept cookies'. Apart from this I have been using this news app a lot, but recently many articles are not showing, just the headline and it's getting quite frustrating. Update: haven't seen this issue for a while now, and as it's one of my most used apps, should really up the stars !

the ability to access multiple news outlets is excellent, but the app is let down by the number and type of adverts, which, based on my experience, are hard to get rid of and hang around. Their advertising policy, which shares your data with 144 vendors, means you can expect plenty of annoying and intrusive ads but with no option to switch to a premium plan to remove them.

It ran in the background all the time and drained my battery daily. It's a good news app but I had to uninstall it. UPDATE Hello, Thank you for reaching out. I noticed every time I went to the home screen a notice would pop up saying background activities and when I clicked on it it showed me opera app running in the background. I Uninstaller the app but a few days later I downloaded the app and managed to stop it from running in the background from app settings and it's running smooth now.
