Opera Mini web browser
Intuitive GUI with many features
One of the best aspects about Opera Mini browser is its sleek user-interface. The address bar is displayed on the top of the screen, next to the Google search bar, while icons for settings are shown on the bottom.
There are also icons for back and next pages, refresh and the app opens several pages and arranges them neatly into tabs. In addition, the browser displays data usage per session. Users can surf the web using multiple tabs and manage them easily inside the app.
Various tools for browsing
All regular tools for online browsing are nicely hidden on the bottom, leaving enough space to display pages and play videos. You can bookmark or save pages for offline reading, search through history or find words in page. There's also an icon for the start page and incognito mode is available.
The app can also be used to download various content off the internet or to share pictures or pages via social networking sites. In addition, various settings can be made.
You can set the app not to load image, adjust image quality, font size or text wrapping, or you can check out shortcuts and instructions of use. The start page comes with the option of rearranging shortcuts and a whole section with top stories that you can check out.
Fast browsing and synchronization
Another cool feature is the option of synchronizing bookmarks, saved pages and search engines between your phone and desktop computer, making sure you have access to all your favorite pages anytime. You can also organize all your bookmarks into several categories in the speed dial section.
Opera app is indeed a useful app for fast browsing, pages are loaded in seconds and downloads are made rather fast. Of course, speed also depends on your internet connection, but the browser performs faster than some of the other apps.
However, Opera features a separate section in which it shows users how much data was received and the usage for the past five days. You can adjust the quality of images, so that the app would take up fewer resources when loading pages.
