Opera browser 28.0.1764.90386

Surf the internet easier with the Opera browser for Android
Top software developer, Opera might have some smartphone users confused with its two versions of Opera browsers for mobile devices. Opera launched Opera Mini and Opera Mobile, which have similar interfaces but the big difference isn't in the extra features.

It's in the way the two browsers compress information before displaying it on your screen. Opera Mini compresses website information on Opera servers before displaying it on your screen. This means faster web browsing experience on slow networks, while Opera Mobile offers an experience similar to that of desktop browsers.

Stylish interface with plenty features at hand

You can tell this is a top app right after you launch it. Opera browser sports a really comprehensive interface, with lots of features for the speed dial section as well as for web pages that you might want to visit.

It launches with a beautiful tutorial, providing users with a brief introduction of all nice features that they might use inside the app. Online registration isn't mandatory, but if you do device to create an account, you'd be able to access your bookmarks from multiple devices, like your computer, tablet and another smartphone.

Surf the internet easily

The speed dial page is highly customizable, you can add or remove icons easily. Swipe left to view your history or right to check out the discover section with all the top news, posts and content that's currently hot on the internet. You can edit this page too, change the country and topics for the stories that Opera provides you with.

Surfing is done by using multiple tabs, you can manage them easily at the bottom of the screen and the app comes with incognito mode for when you don't want it to record the history of pages that you've visited.

Adjust settings to make the app your own

The app lets you enable/disable cookies, and change the layout of the interface, including to a table one even if you're using your phone. You can also adjust the quality of images that the app displays and check the data usage.

You can also share pages with friends on social networks or search for keywords, but the app doesn't have a translator. It does however support plugins. The app doesn't close previously loaded pages if the internet connection is down, meaning that it helps keep users online even when they're on slow or congested networks.
