The store repeatedly asking you to sign in sounds like a cookie problem.
When you sign into a site, the site will place a cookie on your device to record the fact you
have signed in. If something is too aggressive about clearing cookies, or not allowing them to be placed in the first place, you'll see that sort of thing. You may wish to clear any cookies when you
leave a site, but that should not happen
until you leave.
I do very little browsing on my mobile devices. For the most part, if I'm using mobile device I'm in transit, and doing other things. Most of what I do on mobile devices is specifically offline in local mode, working on locally stored data, and devices and apps are configured for that usage. The vast majority of what I do that requires browsing and Internet access (like email) can wait until I am at my PC.
On mobile, I use Firefox or Google Chrome on the odd occasions I need to browse, but look at others on occasion to track development. I looked at Opera Mini back when but passed, and have passed on the current desktop Opera versions as well. The blocker for me was a major version upgrade that appeared to
remove the ability to
import bookmarks from other browsers. I have thousands of accumulated bookmarks I want available in any browser I might use, and having no way to import them into Opera is an automatic hard fail. (Opera seems to assume its audience has a small set of sites it always visits and and wants them front and center on the home screen. I am not part of that audience.)
