In past years, Opera Mini mobile browser popularity beat all records. This was due to a more than modest system requirements of the program, as well as the ability to significantly save incoming traffic. Over time, however, these functions are no longer relevant, and the browser several podrasteryal former glory. But the new version of Opera Mini is fully capable to regain lost ground.
The first thing that catches your eye when you start the program, - a fully redesigned user interface. Previously, there to hide, he was frankly outdated and cause rejection. Now the program looks fresh and modern, it is no worse than most colleagues.
On the start page of the main place is occupied by icons quick access to your favorite sites. Just below is the panel recommendations, on which the browser shows popular articles on a given subject you. Change your preferences in the settings, you can start page.
Another important novelty is the presence of as many as three interface layout options. One of them is designed for tablets, the other two - for smart phones with different screen diagonals. To switch between them should go to program settings. Here you can activate the opening of the links in a background tab, change the size of the default font, log into your account to sync bookmarks with the desktop browser, and more.
The main feature of the program was and is a function of the traffic compression. All data on the way to the user are processed on special proxies Opera Company, with the compressed text and images, and cut out some elements of page design. This allows a 90% saving incoming Internet traffic, which is much higher than in other browsers using data compression technology.
To control the compression, you can open the main menu, where you will see the current figure savings in the form of visual pie chart. When you click on it will open a special page, which presents more detailed data.

Icon desired articles will appear on the home page, where you will be able to open it and read without access to the Internet.
As for the speed of the browser, it depends on the connections you. If you are using a high-speed Wi-Fi, then any acceleration download sites you can not see. But if channel capacity is limping, then Opera Mini can show multiple acceleration of surfing. Let's not forget the opportunity to save on data transfer, if you are, for example, when roaming.
Summarizing, we can say that this is a brand new Opera, but with familiar brand features. Now it is quite modern and functional browser that deserves to occupy a place, if not the main, the auxiliary browser in case you need to work through a slow connection to the Internet.
