Opera Mini

Opera Mini browser for Android devices is lightweight, respects user privacy and allows for fast browsing. It also blocks ads and manages downloads

A fast browser that protects your privacy

While there are many choices today, not all browsers are created equal, and of course there is life beyond Chrome and Firefox as well. Since the launch of its first version more than a quarter century ago, Opera has proven to be a worthy competitor, running fast and always protecting the user.

Its light version, Opera Mini, offers users speed and ease of browsing, as well as significant data savings thanks to its optimal mode and ad blocker (we recommend its use only in the case of advertising abuse, as this is the only source of income for a large percentage of websites which we like to follow).

Main features

As already mentioned, this is the smallest version of this Norwegian development. It aims to reduce data consumption and offers the following functions, among others:

• The browser is fully customizable and offers different designs, themes and message categories.
• It allows you to control browsing data and reduce its usage by up to 90% through different modes.
• Its download manager detects downloadable files from a website and keeps the downloads going in the background. These are easy to find in the configured folder.
• It includes offline file sharing mode with speeds up to 300MB/s.
• The browser has its own video player that can be operated with one hand and is integrated into the download manager.
• Ad Blocker removes intrusive ads from the websites you visit.
